Argh, life got in the way, and just now I had time to write an “I’m in” post. I’ve been participating since LD24, and this time it won’t be different. The timezone for LD is just perfect for me: The compo starts 10:00AM my time on Saturday (Tokyo) and goes until 10:00AM Monday – Already took the day off work that day ;-).<\/p>\n

The only snag will be a school event that will take 3-4 hours Saturday afternoon. I will try to use that time to do some game designing.<\/p>\n

Anyway, tool call:<\/p>\n

Coding:<\/strong> Java+libGDX<\/a>, the goal is to make a game playable on android and the desktop. I might drop android or add html5 depending on the theme and the design. Using Eclipse+ADT<\/a> as my IDE.<\/p>\n

Graphics:<\/strong> Gimp + Inkscape + my handy WACOM tablet. If the game design calls for it I might use a cool android-based random sprite generator<\/a> that I found these days.<\/p>\n

Sounds:<\/strong> BFXR<\/a> + possibly a voice synthesizer.<\/p>\n

Music:<\/strong> Probably I’m just going to go with Autotracker <\/a>, even though I can now recognize an autotracker-bu generated song by smell \ud83d\ude1b If I have the time and inclination I might try to compose something using the dozens upon dozens of trackers that I have tested over the months, but every time I’ve tried to do so it ended in utter disaster \":-(\"<\/p>\n

Here is my base code<\/a> (right now it is just some empty classes for handling state changing and asset loading). Good Luck and have fun everyone!<\/p>\n \n
