After learning <strong>HaXe<\/strong> because you\u2019re tired of Game Maker and other paid tools solutions you got to deal with a theme that only works with <strong>Perlenspiel<\/strong> or similar. First lesson: the theme rules everything. You should choice the best (I said, the best) tool or language programming in relation of theme (and not in backwards). Most people is fighting now with squares or cubes\u2026 yeah, minimalistic stuff, but why don\u2019t use minimalistic tools or thinks in terms of minimalistic gameplay? or minimalistic plot? Other people seems to be comfortable with <strong>Twine<\/strong>. It\u2019s a straight and valid solution but people like me are so much lazy to read a yet another Twine story\u2026<\/p>\n<p>After hours learning how Perlenspiel works I decided to make a minimalistic horror game: <strong>LESS<\/strong> (Last Exit Scary Square). I want to do something similar to Imscared but in a minimalistic way. Stop! are you talking about to do a horror game based in squares? Probably\u2026 This evening I meet up with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/author\/tsuki_usagi\/\">Tsuki Usagi<\/a> and we\u2019ll talk about the game design and other boring development stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I don\u2019t forget to share a picture of food (I love callos\u2026!)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2013\/04\/27\/status-update-12\/img_20130427_142104\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-236832\"><img alt=\"IMG_20130427_142104\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-236832\" height=\"371\" src=\"\/data\/posts\/2013\/04\/094fd054da6b10695fffe496c2f9450d.jpg\" width=\"495\"\/><\/a><\/p>","time":"April 27th, 2013 6:21 am","title":"Status update","title_was_empty":false}
