I\u2019m in for my third Ludum Dare. The last two have been incredibly fun, so I don\u2019t want to miss this one! For LD 20 my entry was Diamond Hollow<\/a> and for LD21 I made Glissaria<\/a>. Each time I\u2019ve made sure to create a timelapse, and this one will be no different. However, I also plan to stream my progress live this time right over here<\/a>. Also, I\u2019ll keep updates on Twitter, so feel free to follow me<\/a> if that\u2019s your thing. And finally, I have a circle of LD people on g+, so add me there<\/a> so I can stick you in my ever growing circle!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to stick to my strengths with pixel art and flash. Going to try to brush up on music this time, so I can at least have something listenable. I might try to find a music generation program simpler than Fruity Loops due to me being musically challenged. More formally, the tools I will be using are:<\/p>\n

Programming<\/strong>: AS3 (Flash) via FlashBuilder (Eclipse)\nLibrary<\/strong>: Modified Flixel (extra plugins such as a flixel bitmap font library, etc)\nGraphics<\/strong>: Photoshop\nMusic<\/strong>: FruityLoops (unless I find something better)\nSounds<\/strong>: As3sfxr + Audacity\nOther<\/strong>: Fast food, sleep, cats, alcohol<\/p>\n

Last time I was overambitious, writing 3 games in 1, most of which I had no experience with. This time I\u2019m going to play the safe route and make a platformer. It\u2019s something I have experience with, is easier to make art for, and will hopefully mean I can create a full game in the alotted time. Let\u2019s just hope the theme lends itself to a platformer. Also, if kittens wins I will cry because I can\u2019t draw a cat to save my life.<\/p>\n
