It\u2019s been a while, but excuses to make games don\u2019t get much better than this.<\/p>\n

In fact, just to make sure I can\u2019t worm my way out, I\u2019m running a real world gathering. No escape! (Any of you in the Coventry area, be sure to hit up Warwick Game Design!)<\/p>\n

Programming:\u00a0<\/b>Actionscript, extended with Flashpunk, all done in FlashDevelop. Flash will never die!<\/p>\n

Sound:\u00a0<\/strong>FL Studio will be my partner in composition, with maybe a bit of BFXR.<\/p>\n

Art:<\/strong>\u00a0A quick trip through Ludum Dare\u2019s wonderful Tools<\/a> page introduced me to Graphics Gale. Been working on a far simplified pixel art character style, so I don\u2019t spend half the competition doing animations like last time.<\/p>\n

Behold! Yes! A puppy!<\/p><\/div>\n

Nourishment:\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019ve booked myself in for supervising the meetup\u00a01:00AM-1:00PM on both Saturday and Sunday, so copious amounts of pizza, pasta, sandwiches, and jelly should be packed.<\/p>\n

Have I mentioned how simply incredible jelly is (Jell-o, for you people across the pond)? Cheap to buy, simple to make, easy to forget, easier to enjoy, and I have gotten over countless blocks by simply wobbling the jelly until I figure out how to solve a problem.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Simply mix one part flavoring, one part gelatin, five parts pure uncut therapy.<\/p><\/div>\n

This should about cover it for me. Keep up the \u201cI\u2019m in\u201d posts, everyone, and have a great competition!<\/p>","time":"April 23rd, 2014 6:11 am","title":"Avast!","title_was_empty":false}
