LD a week before xmas? I usually skip it because the timing’s just madness, but I think I’ve got a small idea that I can complete without too much stress.

It involves international intrigue, and I plan to namecheck all the cities on the Real World Gatherings page (and lots of others). I’m not feeling any of the final themes, but I’ll figure out a way to work the final selection into it.

I usually use HTML5 and CraftyJS for jams, but I’m planning to move to Phaser in the future and I don’t want to learn it for the jam. I’ll try Unity/Javascript and the new 2D stuff this time, hoping to maximize my output. I’m hoping 2D text rendering has improved, too. Planning on using lots of untyped variables and .SendMessage calls. =D Ain’t nobody got time for static types!

GIMP/Inkscape for graphics, bfxr or MXL 990 mic for recording sound effects and voiceover, iNudge or Otomata or Abundant Music for music, XInputDotNet for XInput gamepads (Unity has trouble remembering gamepad 1 is always player 1 across reboots), regular input system for everything else. GitHub for source control.

Good luck, kids!
