I&#8217;ll be going for something small but complete.<\/p>\n <p>Likely tools include:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li><strong>Flixel 2.5<\/strong>: Adam&#8217;s wonderful little library has been my plaything over the summer. With it, I&#8217;m confident I can whip out a quality piece over the weekend.<\/li>\n <li><strong>MacVIM and Terminal<\/strong>: I&#8217;m holding a grudge against Eclipse and I haven&#8217;t gotten around to giving FlashDevelop in VirtualBOX a chance. I have this setup streamlined to my liking.<\/li>\n <li><strong>DAME Map Editor<\/strong>: After overcoming the learning curve, DAME is my editor of choice. Unless I decide to go with a procedural world, DAME is where it&#8217;s at.<\/li>\n <li><strong>Pixen \/ Photoshop<\/strong>: Sometimes one, sometimes the other. Everyone says to stay away from Pixen but it&#8217;s the best app of its kind I&#8217;ve been able to find on a Mac so I&#8217;m giving it a chance.<\/li>\n <li><strong>Audacity<\/strong>: Eh? Audio? Last on the list because it&#8217;s at the bottom of my priorities. If inspiration strikes and time remains I will likely use Audacity to whip up some passable sound effects.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <div>Now, everyone vote for a theme that lends itself to new gameplay experiences and mechanics! Let&#8217;s make it fun! Also, I need something good to brainstorm over while I make the drive back tonight. Good luck to all!<\/div>","time":"August 19th, 2011 10:56 am","title":"Alright, I\u2019m In"}
