Since it&#8217;s dangerous to go alone, I took two old buddies, FlashDevelop and FlashPunk along with me. Besides that, I&#8217;m working with PhotoShop CS5 and Audacity, and progress is looking okay so far. The basic gameplay mechanics are starting to take shape, so tomorrow I&#8217;ll have plenty of time to add more variation and work on levels &#8211; perhaps even incorporate the theme, since I sort of got sidetracked a bit. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n <p>A gfx teaser:<\/p>\n <p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-47935\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2011\/04\/30\/getting-started-14\/early-gfx-showcase\/\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-47935\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/early-gfx-showcase-300x206.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/early-gfx-showcase-300x206.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/early-gfx-showcase.png 317w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","time":"April 30th, 2011 1:47 pm","title":"Getting started"}
