So this will be my very first second LD competition. After a more or less bad outcome at my first LD, LD19 that is, I want to at least get a better placement than the last one.<\/p>\n

What I’m gonna do will mostly depend on the theme, but I am like 90ish percent sure that this time it will NOT be a shmup. Too much shmups on my hand right now. Plus I really dig to at least once be making a decent platformer.<\/p>\n

So the lang will most likely be SDL, C++ with no other frameworks. Wait, if I manage to finish my simple framework then it will be this one. If not, then it’ll be everything from scratch. And if i really use my framework it will definitely be released in source here too, obeying the rules for the competition.<\/p>\n

On tools it will be Gimp and Inkscape for graphics, CLI for compiling and for taking screenshots for my timelapse, and my smartphone for taking food shots. Hope I’ll make it on my brand new MacBook pro.<\/p>\n

As I still had no experience with sounds and music in games it will most likely be a quite game. Maybe I’ll get a flash though and start with musagi and sfxr before the competition, then it could get some sounds. But that is not likely.<\/p>\n

So yeah… looking forward.<\/p>","time":"April 19th, 2011 10:37 am","title":"Luduuum"}
