Tagging along with me is my buddy and fellow student Izzy (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DesertPunkIzzy\">here is his twitter too!<\/a>) for the endeavor!<\/p>\n<p>We participated in our first game jam last month at IamGamer, and we loved the experience, and thought, heck, why not another! I\u2019ll be handling most of the art side of the project, while Izzy will tackle the code side of the project (although our skills are interchangeable). Super excited to get down to business tomorrow! Good luck everyone, and see you on the battlefield!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Das List<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Coding: Game Maker: Studio Masters<\/li>\n<li>Visual Tools: GraphicsGale, Photoshop<\/li>\n<li>Musical Junk: SFXR for sound effects, and cgMusic for music.

The faster we can build our base systems and quirks, we can begin bug testing and getting all the nasty bits out of the way so we can focus on polish later on. We also really need to have a strict time delegation for one another, as we tend to goof off and joke around when we\u2019re left to our own devices. It will also be a bit more of a struggle for me, seeing as how I\u2019m already swimming in projects for school, but we\u2019ll see how that goes!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","time":"August 22nd, 2013 5:00 pm","title":"(Untitled)","title_was_empty":true}
