This time around I figured maybe I should simplify things a bit and actually make more of an attempt to actually finish something for the deadline. That said, this time around I plan on using the following:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>GameMaker Lite &#8211; I&#8217;ve helped out on a number of projects using this, and it&#8217;ll definitely do what I need it to do.<\/li>\n <li>Paint Shop Pro 7 &#8211; I may not even use this, the built-in editor of GameMaker does pretty well for me<\/li>\n <li>BFXR &#8211; If there isn&#8217;t a reason for me to record sounds myself, this will probably be my weapon of choice for sound effects<\/li>\n <li>Audacity &#8211; Then again, if I DO need to record some sounds &#8230;<\/li>\n <li>Musagi &#8211; Kinda doubt I&#8217;ll get to this, but I&#8217;ve had the most success with actually creating music using this&#8230; (Thank you DrPetter!)<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>I guess that basically covers it. I was pleased to see my theme (Build it, Then use it) in the themes list. I kinda doubt it&#8217;ll get too many votes since it sort of implies a level of complexity I&#8217;d guess that people don&#8217;t want to bother with in an LD. Anyways, good luck to everyone this time around, and just MAYBE I&#8217;ll see some of you at the finish line!<\/p>","time":"April 18th, 2012 9:32 am","title":"Kicking it Down a Notch"}
