October came around, and I started working on a game.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s javascript\/canvas based, instead of my usual pygame. But, I\u2019m using gamejs which uses the pygame API, so I feel pretty much at home.<\/p>\n
We got most of our new graphics and sound into the game today, and all of the game play is done.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not running fast enough on my ipod touch 2g, but I think with some work it could be playable. So we\u2019re aiming to release on the various web stores first. Then perhaps improve things for the mobile platforms.<\/p>\n
I had to work on improving a sound engine I call jquery.shitsound<\/a>, or just shitsound for short. Which uses various web browser sound APIs to work. I\u2019ll have to get it using the phonegap framework to play audio too, since html5 Audio on mobile platforms is simply broken.<\/p>\n We\u2019re in, I should say. Since I\u2019m doing a collaboration with Spencer Sternberg<\/a> ( http:\/\/www.spencersternberg.com\/<\/a> ) video game audio and music productions.<\/p>\n The second app I\u2019m working on next after this one is released I\u2019m doing as a Powered By Bees<\/a> production ( http:\/\/www.poweredbybees.com<\/a> ). It\u2019s less game related, and more content related, but I still think it will count for this October Challenge.<\/p>\n Thanks Ludumdare!\u00a0 This October competition has really given me a big kick up the backside.<\/p>","time":"October 6th, 2011 9:34 am","title":"I\u2019m in.","title_was_empty":false}
