LD 20 – Last Minute Speculation

I’ve made some list-minute decisions about what I’ll use.

I’m probably going to use Panda3D, first of all. Development in it goes pretty quick, so it’s probably a good choice.

Secondly, I’m probably going to make a shmup if the theme permits. Otherwise, not sure. I’m perfectly willing to use wordplay, subversion, and outright bull**** to make the theme fit my ideas, too.

I’m also absolutely entering the jam. The main compo is fun, but I think I’ll need the extra 24h because I’m doing 3D. (And even though Panda3D makes 3D development quick, it certainly doesn’t make it as quick as Unity does!)

That being said, my game is like to be a top-down, multi-directional shmup set either on a space station or in cyberspace.

I am using the following tools: (This part I know for sure)

  • Models – Blender
  • Textures/Images – Inkscape
  • Sound – as3sfxr
  • Music – Hahaha! Yeah, right!
  • IDE – Geany
  • Taking a Break – Walks outside, playing these sorts of games.

All in all, hopefully a fun weekend. That being said, the game idea is subject to change if I have a better idea for the theme.

Peace,
