Links from my FitC Edmonton talk

Erik on Oct 18th 2009

I’d like to start with a disclaimer for anyone coming to my blog for the first time. I swear I didn’t just install worpress and leave it on the default theme. I actually chose this template before it became the wordpress default. I’m really going to have to change it soon. (Edit: Ok, I’ve updated the template.)

On with the links.

First, Commies, the game that introduced me to the LD48.

The web site for the LD48 competitions:
ludumdare.com

The top ranked games from the last competition.

Some recent LD48 games your really should check out:
Beacon
Mind Wall
Rara Racer

These are just a few highlights. There are so many great games.

Here is an updated version of my entry in the last competition. Caves and Bombs. I’ll be writing a post about this game some time soon.

Next, some tools:
Flixel. An open source AS3 framework for rapid game development.
SFXR. A small utility for generating retro style sound effects.
Pixen. An image editor that specifically targets creating pixel art.

Here is a link to a blog post that covers a lot of similar concepts that my talk covered. It seems I basically stole their title for my talk. Oops. Build something cool in 24 hours

Finally, a couple of unrelated links that would be relevant had I stuck with my original talk topic of Runtime Actionscript.
As3 Eval.
