In case the astonishingly slow rate of development for that game isn&#8217;t clear, I&#8217;ve been very busy!<\/p>\n <p>But this weekend I have some time, and I&#8217;m looking forward to participating again! This is going to get interesting, because I have a somewhat fancy affair to be at on Saturday night, so I&#8217;ll probably spend the day programming in a suit. If nothing else, it&#8217;ll feel very professional.<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;ll be working with this stuff:<\/p>\n <p><b>Engine<\/b><strong>:\u00a0<\/strong>Game Maker Studio with GML. I haven&#8217;t used GM since version 7, but I&#8217;ve been itching to give my free copy a spin and it&#8217;s always been great for quick prototyping!<br \/>\n <strong>Graphics<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> Paint Shop Pro 7, which I brought in a time capsule from the year 2000.<br \/>\n <strong>Sounds:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bfxr.net\/\">BFXR<\/a>! I&#8217;ve used SFXR a lot in the past, but I want to try working with its bigger cousin.<br \/>\n <strong>Music<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0If I have time, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cavestory.org\/pixels-works\/pxtone-collage.php\">PXTone<\/a>. If I have even more time, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reaper.fm\/\">REAPER<\/a>\u00a0with either the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kvraudio.com\/product\/synth1-by-ichiro-toda\">Synth1 VST<\/a>\u00a0or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocities.jp\/sam_kb\/VOPM\/\">VOPM VST<\/a>. Either way it&#8217;s going to be very synth-y.<\/p>\n <p>Good luck to everyone!<\/p>","time":"April 23rd, 2014 3:07 pm","title":"Time to do this again!"}
