Alright for my 4th LD I am going to use a new engine and actually try to make my own music!
I’ll be using:
HaxeFlixel! (all the cool kids are using it)
GIMP 2.0
MilkyTracker
Bosca Ceoil
Chiptone (like BFXR but better http://sfbgames.com/chiptone/)
Let’s see if I can get something relatively playable…!
Phew, this was a tough LD! But I somehow managed to get everything in in time!
The game is Super Resizer, which is played in a browser popup that you have to resize and move around to activate blocks and get points!
It’s a really experimental and unconventional control system for a game, and browsers really aren’t meant to be used like this, but I hope you enjoy it. And I really hope no one else had the same idea as me 😛
Tech:
Pure JS with HTML5 Canvas for graphics/gameplay
bfxr and Audacity for making audio
Howler.js for playing audio
Forgot to make my in post, so here it is!
I’m jamming with a bunch of awesome Richmond, VA game devs (http://rvagamejams.com/) at the 804RVA coworking space (http://www.804rva.com/). Check out all the games our little club has made, including many previous Ludum Dare entries: http://rvagamejams.com/games/
As for this jam, I already have a cool minimalist idea, but I won’t spoil it here. Look out for the final result!
Tech:
-Plain ol’ JS… might use CoffeeScript too because its fun
-GIMP for graphics
-bfxr for audio
Alright I ended up using plain old Unity… well it’s the Unity 4.6 beta, so it was pretty fun (and annoying) trying out the new features.
Anyways, I went with a very minimalist, color-centric design for my game. Simple touch/click and drag controls and fast action to try to get a high score. I’m pretty happy with it!

Tools used:
Unity 4.6 beta
VS2012 for programming
Bfxr for sounds
Audacity for sound editing
GIMP 2.0 for image editing
This might be unrealistic, but I really want to try making a game in Unreal Engine 4 this time! It would be a great trial-by-fire training session.
If I chicken out I’ll just use Unity again, but I I’m not too comfortable with how many Unity games I’ve been making lately. I need to switch things up! Even if the resulting game isn’t great…
Beyond that, I would use:
It’s not my first game jam, but it’s my first LD, so I’m gonna keep my toolset relatively safe:
