Hello everyone!

I have been planning the entry for quite a long time (several months).

So in short, I will be entering the Jam, with one of my friends (she will help me with the graphics, you can check her gallery here).

I’m an experienced c++ coder, mostly working with maya, arnold, mental ray, cuda and such things (working on game trailers). Though my primary weapons of choice is raytracing, I’m looking forward to create a fun, sprite based 2d game. (or something simple in 3D if possible and I will have enough time)

So my choice of tools will be, C++ (mostly Visual Studio), SFML and openGL (with some GLEW and nvidia CG) for graphics, TBB for some threading stuff (hopefully I won’t need that), pugixml for xml reading and editing, devIL for image handling, mercurial for version control, some of my own libraries (math, some simple graphics stuff etc), google docs, FMOD for audio and I think that’s all. Most of the code will be written from scratch (I’m used to creating prototypes early and fast, so hopefully that won’t be a problem).

The only things missing, is a good level editor (possibly with exporting to xml), and some kind of an audio (music) editor / generator, what is easy to use. (so even I can create some background music with it) Any ideas?

Cheers,

Pal.

So we finished the game finally. It won’t be a winning entry, it’s average (or below average) at best (and there are a lot of bugs). But it’s our first game ever and everything is written from scratch in c++. So I’m proud.

Ciao guys, and thank you for this amazing contest!

Okay, so back again. I’m still waiting for the main theme. If it is something, that I can work with, I will join, and take monday off.

But otherwise, I have several problems. I don’t have proper internet access (moved to Spain, and Orange is still having some problems with my line), only some very limited and slow access through my phone. The other thing (what is the bigger problem), that I switched to mac from windows, and I’m still having problems with the development and all…

Let’s wait for the theme…

I managed to convince some people at my workplace to come, so 6 people are in from Luma Pictures. We are not gamedev folks, but well… We always manage to do something awesome.

The standard stuff, Unity, Git and all sorts of software we use in our daily work.
