Looking forward to putting as much time as I can this weekend into a small game <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/>  I&#8217;m working with Ren&#8217;Py, which is a first for me but it looks great.  I think I&#8217;ll also be using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.renpy.org\/wiki\/renpy\/Frameworks#DSE_.28Dating_Sim_Engine.29\">Dating Sim Engine<\/a> framework, though the game definitely won&#8217;t be about dating or romance.  My girlfriend has been playing a game that uses those dating sim mechanics (Matches &amp; Matrimony) and they look like they could be a lot of fun in another kind of story as well.<\/p>\n <p>I have a couple of story ideas, so I&#8217;m going to spend the rest of this evening sketching &amp; see which one sticks first!<\/p>","time":"June 24th, 2011 10:03 pm","title":"MiniLD #27 hopes+dreams"}
