(It&#8217;s not, though)<\/p>\n <p>However, I already had an idea for a game I wanted to make, and I&#8217;m still making that game, still making it this weekend.<\/p>\n <p>What I aim to do is start some time today and finish some time Monday evening. (I will use a similar time frame for my Mini-LD game) I will use AS3, and an SVG rendering library I found.<\/p>\n <p>I was going to use pixel sprites, but I&#8230; I just don&#8217;t like them. I like making vector images, and they&#8217;re much more flexible.<\/p>\n <p>My warmup game uses a play off of a tangent from the Mini-LD theme: I&#8217;m taking something that is usually scary and making it cute. (Not cutesy fluffy bunny cute, but still cute)<\/p>\n <p>The game is about a demon girl trying to save a jar of cookies from Evil Robots. (Goodness knows what the robots want with the cookies, they might just be trying to start trouble)<\/p>\n <p>The protagonist (Whose name is Luna) has a powered armor suit which is what allows her to fight robots. The game may feature multiple armors, but I&#8217;m not sure whether it will.<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;m hoping that this game turns out well. It&#8217;d be really nice to finally have a finished project, too. (Up to me entirely, I know, but still worth saying)<\/p>","time":"September 16th, 2010 12:35 pm","title":"Plan for this Weekend \u2013 Mini-LD Dry Run (Hopefully)"}
