In LD22 I used a decent framework (melonjs), but had never used it before and suffered a significant time penalty learning what I could and couldn’t do with it. I spent way to much time tinkering and learning.<\/p>\n
In LD23 I built everything from scratch (for a text based game). I knew the tools well, and didn’t need a bunch of art, but I spent most of my time on framework. The story and game-play suffered significantly.<\/p>\n
This time around, I’m opting to use tools that I’m familiar with, and that provide a significant amount of framework to build atop — I’ll be using L\u00d6VE, and probably the Hump, anim8, and, possibly, advanced tiled loader libraries.<\/p>\n
The downside is that they won’t be immediately playable in the browser, but the upside is that linux, osx, and windows are all supported, and there’s not much to install.<\/p>","time":"August 19th, 2012 7:24 pm","title":"N\u00famero tres"}
