5th Ludum Dare in a row since I started devving!! I'm excited!!
SUPER excited to be part of another Ludum Dare! Hopefully I can do better than the last four, but the main thing is having fun!! I'm a 35 year old hobbyist game dev who has been doing this for a little over a year now. Here are 5 "anti" tips I made..
- Big scope, make a huge ass game, has to be an MMO, MAKE sure you add Battle Royale mode at the last minute
- Wait until the last minute to make it playable, game-play is not important, you want photo-realistic graphics bro!
- Avoid eating, sleeping, drinking(water) and never take breaks. That just gets in your way.
- Wait until the last minute to add audio, it's not that big of a deal.
- Nobody cares about UI and neither should you. Default buttons are fine and if the player has to unplug their computer to end the game, they won't mind, it's all good!!
Disclaimer These are tips of what NOT to do, and trust me, I've actually been guilty of doing all five.
I shall be live-streaming regularly, and most likely post-jam I will do a sign-up sheet if people want me to play their games live and give constructive feedback. I will put a link to my Twitch as well as my Discord!! Good luck to everyone, I look forward to seeing and playing some awesome games, as well as meeting new people!!
