I normally make my declaration of intent a bit earlier than this, but I wasn’t sure whether to use XNA (used for my last two entries) or Flex (know more about), and I was updating my website to show details of my LD18 & LD19 entries as I was using a different CMS before.

Anyway, here’s my cunning plan…

Coding

• FlashDevelop 4 Beta
• Flex 4.5 SDK
• Facebook 1.6.1 SDK (if I have time and the game is suitable for Facebook)

Graphics

• Inkscape (maybe)
• Corel Paint shop

Sound

• Audacity (Sound Effects, recorded using household objects and a microphone)
• ACID Xpress 7.0 (Music, if there is enough time after everything else is in place)

Time-lining

I don’t use anything fancy for time-lining, just a table of events on my personal website, with concept art, screenshots, and vidcaps.  I have preapred the page for LD21 at http://derekstobbs.net/projects/projects-ludumdare/projects-ld21.html and will be tweeting now and again (follow @Kalakian if interested).

The compo starts at 03:00 on Saturday morning here, so I’ll be having an early night the night, and getting up early the morra for a caffeine dose and get straight to it.

Good luck everybody, and have fun!!
