I missed the last one due to a combination of having to work and not liking the theme enough to justify squeezing it in to what time I did have, but I’m definitely in for this one.

I’ll be coding in c++ with SDL, SDL_image, vorbisfile, PortAudio, libfreetype and GLEW. It’s the same code framework I’ve used for the past few Dares. It’s badly in need of an update, but it’ll do for now.

For this Dare I’ve set myself the challenge of not moaning about the theme being too generic/boring/not double zombie rainbow and instead just getting on with making a game. And as I seem to go with a different art style for every LD game I’ve made so far, I’ve also been experimenting a bit with Inkscape and Paint Shop Pro. The upshot being that I’ve given myself the additional challenge of, whatever kind of game I wind up with, it must feature happy cartoon guys with wings (example below the cut).
