Well, about 2 hours after the compo’s start (luckily I hadn’t written anything major, but had decided on my idea), I had a change of heart and completely switched engines from C++ and SDL to:<\/p>\n

Language:\u00a0<\/strong>Javascript – HTML5<\/p>\n

Engine:\u00a0<\/strong>None \":)\"<\/p>\n

Graphics:\u00a0<\/b>Photoshop<\/p>\n

Audio:\u00a0<\/strong>cfxr + Audacity<\/p>\n

If anyone knows of a good place to host an HTML 5 game once I’ve finished, please leave a comment! The best option I can think of now is just to use my Node.JS hoster (Heroku) and get it to print out the index.html file.<\/p>\n

Progress Report:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finished: Tile map loading, art, player movement and camera tracking, collision detection.<\/p>\n

To Do: menu screen, opening cutscene, enemy spawning and AI, gun stuff, ammo, sound, boss fight.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty happy with that \":)\"<\/p>","time":"December 14th, 2013 3:42 am","title":"Change of engine"}
