I don't know whether it'll be jam or compo material yet, but I'm going to try to put something in this weekend! I am very, very undecided on what to start with, so maybe I'm already doomed. Do I lean on C+SDL2 like before and hope for the best? Do I want to try out Godot or Inform 7? Do I want to do something crazy like find a Common Lisp engine to use?

I really like some of the theme finalists and am very skeptical of others. I'm hoping "Limited memory" wins, personally.

We'll see!

Because I was horribly unprepared and only doing this on the spur of the moment, I've spent most of the first day screwdrivering a HaxeFlixel setup into place with IntelliJ and Tiled and going through part of the tutorial. I still think I can get something in for the jam; it'll be a modified rendition of some ideas that have been bouncing around for previous LDs but which I never properly implemented. It'll wind up being pretty cut-down, but then I'll know more about the engine, which is sort of the point right now anyway.

Wish me luck!

Oops.

Maybe next time…
