I have been planning ot do this competition since the last LD, where I made my first <em>&#8216;game&#8217;<\/em> even though there where many glitches and bugs and it was unplayable on Macs due to me being silly when programming. But I did finish it, so this time I aim to do the same! Since the last LD I have started to learn Flashpunk with AS3. I do have some *limited* previous experience with flixel but thought that it was too platformer oriented, so I started to learn Flashpunk and have to say, I am loving it. So here is my post:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li><strong>Engine\/Framework:<\/strong> Flashpunk<\/li>\n <li><strong>Language:<\/strong> AS3<\/li>\n <li><strong>Editor:<\/strong> Flashdevelop V4 <em>(I think&#8230;)<\/em><\/li>\n <li><strong>Audio:<\/strong> SFXR, or something of a similar kind..<\/li>\n <li><strong>Music:<\/strong> FL Studio or Garage Band if I feel like my game needs it<\/li>\n <li>and finally <strong>Graphics:<\/strong> Now it either depends what I will be doing. Either Paint.Net <em>(for pixel stuff)<\/em> or Flash CS5 <em>(if I decide to go with Vectors for characters)<\/em><\/li>\n <li>Tiled or Ogmo for <strong>Map Editing<\/strong> <em>(or I might do some bitmap levels in Paint.NET or Photoshop CS5)<\/em><\/li>\n <li><strong>Timelapse:<\/strong> Chronolapse<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>So I think that&#8217;s about all I need to say. I will be streaming over at <a href=\"http:\/\/twitch.tv\/atomicmonkeypro\">http:\/\/twitch.tv\/atomicmonkeypro<\/a>\u00a0so come by and watch me code and stuffs \ud83d\ude1b Hopefully I don&#8217;t get too distracted by talking to people on Skype or Youtube.<\/p>\n <p>And after the compo I will be planning on releasing the timelapse on my YouTube Channel <a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/AtomicMonkeyPro\">http:\/\/youtube.com\/AtomicMonkeyPro<\/a> along with an idea that another LD&#8217;er suggested to me. A documentary on the creation of it. I do not plan on doing it immediately after or during the competition, but I thought it could be a fun way to make a *different* Post-Mortem, even though I will still make the normal text entry on here.<\/p>\n <p>Have fun and congratulations if you are still reading this! \ud83d\ude1b All of your have fun in your game making weekends!<\/p>\n <p><em>Oh yeah, and there is no way I&#8217;m ever gonna make a 3D game for this comp \ud83d\ude1b 2D awesomeness all the way!<\/em><\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p><strong>EDIT:<\/strong> Oh, I was going to write something, then just forgot it&#8230; a friend distracted me. WAIT, that&#8217;s what it was.<\/p>\n <p>I did a warmup game last weekend to help me learn Flashpunk. It was very simple and easy but have a look: <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/JaydenB\">http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/JaydenB<\/a><\/p>","time":"August 23rd, 2012 10:27 pm","title":"Finally, I think I should say I\u2019m In"}
