I’ve made some list-minute decisions about what I’ll use.<\/p>\n

I’m probably going to use Panda3D, first of all. Development in it goes pretty quick, so it’s probably a good choice.<\/p>\n

Secondly, I’m probably going to make a shmup if the theme permits. Otherwise, not sure. I’m perfectly willing to use wordplay, subversion, and outright bull**** to make the theme fit my ideas, too.<\/p>\n

I’m also absolutely entering the jam. The main compo is fun, but I think I’ll need the extra 24h because I’m doing 3D. (And even though Panda3D makes 3D development quick, it certainly doesn’t make it as quick as Unity does!)<\/p>\n

That being said, my game is like to be a top-down, multi-directional shmup set either on a space station or in cyberspace.<\/p>\n

I am using the following tools: (This part I know for sure)<\/p>\n
