I hope to see some Unity from people tough but yours probably ill be interesting too.

No Flash this year, and no C#. I want to get out of my comfort zone.<\/p>\n
I was debating whether to try using Unity this year, along with 3D Studio Max and PhotoShop CS4, but I have decided to try something else, hopefully more fun this time. <\/p>\n
I’m going to use the Processing language (processing.org) which is a simple language based on java designed for generating visualizations from data. My goal is create a game that only uses dynamically generated resources. All art and sounds have to be created within the program.<\/p>\n
It’s going to be a small, simple game, without a lot of complexity, to ensure I can focus the majority of the time on the gameplay and effects.<\/p>\n
I want this game simple to interact with, so i will restrict all input to mouse movement and the left mouse button.<\/p>\n
With Processing, I can generate applications that will run on Windows, Mac and Linux. Java will be required on whatever system it runs on. I’m not sure if I will release an applet on the web, or a set of applications. I’m thinking I’ll pick up a domain name and deploy the applet to the domain, which will be a very easy way for everyone to play (as it is with Flash).<\/p>\n
Well, let’s see how it goes. I’m doing a fast study on processing right now!<\/p>","time":"August 27th, 2009 2:39 pm","title":"Trying Something New This Time"}
