Not sure if i will participate this time. May depend on the theme and my mood. Last time my experience was soured by some assholes and self righteous pricks who turned this into some stupid crusade instead of a fun event. I will NOT make a webgame this time either, if just to annoy you guys!!!

Tools of choice:
– C# with Microsoft Visual Studio and either OpenTK (if i have the mood to dive into unknown territory) or XNA (hopefully with MonoGame ports for OSX and Linux)
– Maybe Farseer Physics, if the game needs 2D physics effects
– Photoshop and ASEPRITE for graphics
– Audacity, bfxr/sfxr for sounds
– cgMusic for generating music, and Anvil Studio/Audacity for finetuning

I’ve also got some prepared Base Code, which consists mostly of all the basic functions like simple 2D animations, particles, scene layers and the landscape tile engine ripped from my last two entries, just to spare me from having to write exactly the same utility functions again.
