My game, Minimalist TD is done! \":)\" Play it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was my second LD (First one being LD24). All in all, it went a lot better than the first one. I’m kind of happy with my result and I think it’s kinda playable, even though it’s probably not terribly innovative (a generic TD game really). I have never done a TD game before, so I thought that’d be fun as well as a nice learning experience.<\/p>\n

Still not quite sure about the difficulty curve. It probably ramps up a bit quickly, but then again, there’s only one level and a bit of trial-and-error can be fun. Lemme know what you think! \":)\"<\/p>\n

Here are the tools I used:<\/p>\n

Coding:<\/strong><\/p>\n

FlashDevelop + Haxe + NME + HaxeFlixel<\/a><\/p>\n

Graphics:<\/strong><\/p>\n

GIMP (although I didn’t need it very often, as you can tell by looking at the screenshot).<\/p>\n

Sounds:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bfxr<\/a>\u00a0and WAV to MP3<\/a> for soundeffects<\/p>\n

Step Seq.<\/a>\u00a0for music and Audacity to record it (Inspired by Arkeus. First time I’ve ever created music, not sure if I’m happy with it. It’s kinda short and doesn’t loop very well… but better than nothing, right?)<\/p>\n

Other:<\/strong><\/p>\n

DAME<\/a>\u00a0for tilemaps<\/p>\n \n
