This is my 3rd Ludum Dare compo outing, I will be keeping my tools mostly the same as last time to the ones I used to build Happy Little Murder Friends for LD25 , with exception to music, my music attempts weren’t very good last time so I figure I would try something different and actually do a few fruityloops tutorials before the whole thing begins.\u00a0 So as follows:<\/p>\n

Programming<\/strong><\/p>\n

MMF2 + box2d extension which means windows only again…..<\/p>\n

Art<\/strong><\/p>\n

Graphics Gale for the most part, though I have Photoshop ready if I need something that isn’t pixels.\u00a0 Going to do my best to keep the art to a minimum this time…<\/p>\n

Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n

BFXR for sound effects, fruityloops and Audacity for music.\u00a0 This is my weak area, gonna try to not suck so much this time.<\/p>\n

Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n

I want to try and go light(er) on the art this time, and focus on something a little more complex code wise, though it never really turns out that way hopefully I can resist my urge to spend more than a few hours on art this time around!\u00a0 I can’t really say what genre yet without knowing the theme, but if at all possible I would like to stray away from making a platformer if at all possible.\u00a0 Oh and make the music less sucky, but most importantly take a break from real life and write another game \":)\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So thanks for reading, I will be posting my progress on my twitter @farmergnome<\/a> – I might even livestream, shall see I guess – if I do I will post a link up on my website at www.farmergnome.com<\/a><\/p>\n
