During LD18’s game jam, I formed Surprised Man<\/a>, with Kieran Walsh, our vehicle for making games. We’re working on another one right now, but we enjoyed our last efforts <\/a>so much that we decided to take a break from that to give it another go.<\/p>\n

I must admit to being a little disappointed that more doesn’t seem to have been done to give recognition to the Jam games; a lot of people felt that it could benefit from some sort of rating system even if there is no formal winner or awards like in the competition part. It seemed to me that this could only help things by giving people another reason to play peoples’ hard work.<\/p>\n

That aside, very much looking forward to it. Last time we blogged the whole thing on Nukezilla.com<\/a>\u00a0and that’s the plan this time, too, so keep an eye out for that and I’ll provide a link when it goes up. And finally, our probable set-up is as follows:<\/p>\n

Programming ‘n’ stuff: Delphi<\/p>\n

Graphics: ProMotion 6, Paint Shop Pro 4<\/p>\n

Sounds: SFXR, Audacity<\/p>\n

Music: Cockos Reaper (and various plugins), FamiTracker<\/p>","time":"December 17th, 2010 4:36 am","title":"Surprised Man enters the Jam!"}
