Second Ludum Dare for me and highly motivated again. I’m hoping to do something more experimental this time. My last entry<\/a> was fine, but rather traditional. <\/p>\n

Tools of choice:
\n – C# and XNA with Microsoft Visual Studio
\n – Farseer Physics, if the game needs complex 2D physics effects
\n – Photoshop and ASEPRITE for graphics
\n – Audacity, bfxr\/sfxr and maybe my mouth for sounds \":)\"
\n – cgMusic<\/a> for generating music, and Anvil Studio\/Audacity for finetuning (not sure about cgMusic yet. feels like cheating because the tool is really good at composing random music.)<\/p>\n

I’m also using Base Code<\/a> this time. It’s mostly all the basic functions like simple 2D animations, particles, scene layers and the landscape tile engine ripped from my last entry, just so that i don’t have to write exactly the same utility functions again if i need them. <\/p>\n

Wasn’t very happy about the “Alone” theme last time. Something less generic would be great.<\/p>\n

Anyway, let’s code! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>","time":"April 18th, 2012 1:31 pm","title":"I\u2019m in, again!"}
