Hey everybody! It's been a while. :smile:

We're nearly 3 weeks away from Ludum Dare 40 ( ), and it's time to get your Theme Suggestions in.

Go here:

Suggestions will continue to be open for the next week, so feel free to come back if you change you mind or think of any better ideas.

Last night we pushed a HUGE update we've been sitting on for a while. It didn't go 100% smoothly, but we're working on it. Here's a few things to keep an eye out for:

• Notifications - We're still tracking down bugs, but you might see the bubble do something now.
• Anonymous Comments - You can enable this on your submissions now.
• Half-Star Ratings - Can't decide between a 4 or a 5? Now you don't have to. Go with 4.5 instead.
• Charts and Graphs - Right now they're only on the event stats, but we're getting charty (example: ).
• Website Performance - Last LD we saw some awful site performance in the final hours. It turns out I missed something super obvious that was slowing us down (doh). That, and numerous other performance issues have been fixed.
• And much more.

I need to give a HUGE shout-out to @sgstair, @local-minimum, @zwrawr, and @noojuno for their help! I'm super happy to have a team of folks helping me on the code. Teamwork is the best work. :smile:

That's it for now. Stay tuned! We'll have more for you next week!
