I’m using python\/pygame<\/strong> again. After my LD #19 entry<\/a> received only 9 plays, I decided I really need to learn something web-based. I started to learn ActionScript<\/strong> and even made a failed entry at One Month Game<\/a>, but I don’t feel like I’m comfortable enough with it yet to use it for LD. So I don’t plan to get a lot of feedback again, but I still hope to have a good time<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Unfortunately my home internet is down<\/strong> until 29 Aug, due to a telecom workers’ strike! Since none of my neighbors were nice enough to unsecure their wifi, that means I have to take this production on the road<\/strong>. I plan to write my game from work, the library, and a friend’s house. Never a dull moment. I probably won’t be able to get a Windows port together until after work on Monday. I hope that doesn’t keep too many people from playing.<\/p>\n

I hope to stick to my strengths for this game, which are humor, story, and creative use of the theme<\/strong>. It will probably be silent with badly hand-drawn graphics<\/strong>, and lack polish since I do everything from scratch, but I hope to make up for that with interesting game mechanics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Good luck to everyone!<\/p>","time":"August 19th, 2011 1:08 pm","title":"I\u2019m in for my third Ludum Dare"}
