In!
Might be doing some (poorly written) interactive fiction again, with Twine.
Otherwise I’ll probably use Haxe+NME+HaxePunk, Bfxr/Sfxr, Audacity, GIMP, and Tiled again.

I really want this to be my finished game.
Coming Along
My games coming along alright — since it’s a text-based adventure, I don’t have much in the way of screen shots, but I can give you some statistics:
- 19540 Characters
- 3367 Words
- 26 Passages
- 42 Links
It’s a lot of fun so far! I’ve been using Twine for the first time — and, I have to say, it does make things go much quicker. I’d love to see some improvements to the tool though, like being able to click on the “canvas” area to drag it around instead of having to use the scroll bars all the time. The editor could be a little better too. I’d love to see the ability to use external editors for individual passages. I’d also really like to see a mode where I can have the compiled version of the text right next to the graphical layout — that way I could do both styles of editing in the same UI!
But the tool is still excellent, and I look forward to finishing off my poorly written adventure!

In like jelly in a jar
Not really sure what I’m going to use this go around though, I’m thinking maybe more Interactive Fiction… which would mean I’d be using Twine or Inform 7+Parchment, depending on the style I’d like to write in.
On the other hand, if I decide that IF is just not my style for this compo, I’ll probably go with Haxe/HaxeFlixel+BFXR/SFXR+Gimp, or maybe Haxe/HaxePunk since I’ve used it more than HaxeFlixel.
Good luck everyone!
Finally, got the base mechanic working!
Spent about 4 hours going down a road that didn’t pan out right after the theme was announced, then went to bed for about 7 hours.
Woke up with an idea floating around, and decided to switch tactics entirely. Bad for time management, good for motivation!
Anyways, finally got the basic mechanics in place — from here on out it’s successive refinements!
The basic premise of the game is that you are trying to protect the green dot from the cyan one. To accomplish this, you have a variety of traps, which cost credits/money/etc to put in place.

It’s Been A Year Since My Last, but I’m _totally in_
Super excited to be back at it after a year!
What am I going to use????? I don’t know… never enough time to prepare…
Haxe+HaxeFlixel OR Love2D OR melon.js
(probably)
Then the normal assortment of tools:
bfxr/sfxr, audacity, gimp, inkscape, mapeditor, vim and/or sublime, and whatever else I feel like!
Good luck, have fun!
