I have no idea what toolset I’m gonna use, to be honest. Previously I’ve used Flashpunk & Game Maker, but I’m having tilemap issues* and Game Maker isn’t optimal for me at the moment.
\n (The following part I digress into my recent tool experiences, feel free to not read on)<\/p>\n

I’ve also had my eye on C++, but I can’t seem to configure it or any of it’s libraries(SDL,SFML) to work**.<\/p>\n

I’ve been mucking around in unity, but It just doesn’t…gel with me. I think it’s because the language(“Unity Script” I think it’s called?) seems really inconsistent.<\/p>\n

Coming from a Animation background (Flash, that is) the first language I tried after game maker was AS3, and I feel I haven’t toyed with it enough to really go in to detail; It’s going fairly well.<\/p>\n

And finally is Love2D. The syntax was very foreign to me, considering that at the time I had never heard of Lua. Love2D is nice, but it has no dedicated (Is that the right phrase?) IDE so that really puts me off.<\/p>\n

Thanks for listening and I’d love some feedback.<\/p>\n

*The tilemap is all scattered and doesn’t comply with the actual tilemap in the OGMO editor. Feedback is welcome
\n **Could someone help with this please?<\/p>","time":"August 9th, 2013 8:42 pm","title":"Tool Troubles"}
