I’ve wanted to do this for a couple years now. Finally, the stars have aligned and I can devote a good chunk of time to Ludum Dare 23!<\/p>\n

Of course, there is a hitch – I’ll be traveling for part of Saturday, so I have an extra challenge ahead of me. I think I’m up for that challenge.<\/p>\n

My tools for LD23 will be:<\/p>\n

SublimeText 2 – “TextMate for Windows”
\n Dropbox – super simple deployment solution between me and my server.
\n Powershell – just to copy files
\n CraftyJS – HTML5\/DOM gaming framework
\n SFXr – aww yeah
\n Paint.NET – for teh grafix<\/p>\n

And maybe a few additional things I haven’t thought of yet.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah – since I suck so bad at pixel art, I copied Notch’s icons2.png and cleared out the font and test sprite he made while working on Minicraft. I’m posting it here in case anyone else wants it.<\/p>\n

simple starter sheet to help keep pixel art "on rails" - thanks to @notch<\/p><\/div>","time":"April 18th, 2012 8:28 am","title":"Finally \u2013 I\u2019m in"}
