Hello all,

Looking forward to participating in my first game jam. We'll see how my <= 11 yr old kids can help out. 9 yr old says he's in (but never programmed). My mileage may vary. Was originally planning to do GODOT, but been messing about with Pico8 which I'm pretty excited about. "Hey kids, this is like my glory days of game programming." All we're missing is the paged Mode X video. I digress.

I was hoping to give some feedback to make the website easier to navigate/understand. Or get feedback for myself to clear up things. I think the current - as I understand in development - situation may be a bit difficult for new people to get going with.

Learn more takes you to: https://ludumdare.com/#schedule

Which says next event is LD51. Schedule has been updated, latest news is stale.

If you picked help

• Rules link is broke: https://ludumdare.com/resources/rules
• Guides work --> and migration to ldjam.com is discussed.
• Questions link works and is helpful.
• Topics is bare, has same link to rules, link for derivative works.

Given the migration plan, perhaps ludumdare should be updated to better point to ldjam page resources?

As for ldjam.com: Since event details for ld55 aren't posted, I presume I can reference: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/

Perhaps on the top bar a link to left of "My Game / New Post / Notifications / Personal" can be added. * Either "Getting Started" or "Sticky posts" with helpful info from ludumdare.com / ldjam posts? * Hmm, maybe the Explore --> Events --> Ludum Dare Rules is what I'm looking for? * For now, perhaps the Explore button should be changed to Events button until the Explore landing page is done.

It would be nice for the different Ludum Dare compos to be links in the coming up section of page. As it is, I typically edit the URL.
