For my first Ludum Dare I will enter in the jam competition, I need some help with the graphics, sound and so on, and I want to use some code I have prepared in these days.<br \/>\n A friend of mine will help me with the graphics, hence I will stay with him in Venice the 3 days of the competition.<\/p>\n <p><strong>The tools<br \/>\n <\/strong>The tools&#8230; yeah, I think I&#8217;m bit crazy about this. It would be a lot more easier to make the game with flash, unity or other\u00a0game engine more user friendly but I like challenges and for some weeks now I&#8217;m learning this cool library in c++ for making games.<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li><strong>Developing<\/strong>:<\/li>\n <li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allegro.cc\/\" target=\"_blank\">Allegro<\/a>\u00a05<\/li>\n <li>C++<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>For instance I will develop the game in windows, but Allegro is compatible\u00a0with windows, mac, linux, iOS. If I have time left I will try to release the game with\u00a0Linux\u00a0version also.<\/p>\n <p>My friend, that will make the graphics for the game, will use:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Photoshop<\/li>\n <li>Illustrator<\/li>\n <li>Flash<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>What will the game speak about? We have no idea, I hope on a cool theme or waiting some suggestion if someone is reading this \ud83d\ude00<br \/>\n By the way, the game will be 2D, maybe a classic plattform but with some different features. I like a lot the game Dustforce&#8230; so maybe we will stole some ideas here and there.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>I will attend the warmup weekend, for test my tools I&#8217;m coding now and have some feedback from you.<br \/>\n Here my first adventure starts, I&#8217;m so excited and I hope I will not fail.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>See you in my next post <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":-)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>","time":"April 2nd, 2012 3:07 pm","title":"New in LD and tools I will use"}
