Hey folks! It’s time for another 48-hour game development extravaganza!

Ludum Dare is a regular community driven game development competition. The goal is, given a theme and 48 hours, to develop a game from scratch. Ludum Dare aims to encourage game design experimentation, and provide a platform to develop and practice rapid game prototyping.

Here’s the time-horizon:

– July 19 – July 25: You may submit themes to the wiki
– July 26 – Aug 2: Themes will be edited for awesomeness by the #ludumdare regulars
– Aug 3 – Aug 8: Various rounds of voting. Check back daily so you don’t miss any!
– Aug 8 – Aug 10: Ludum Dare #12 !!! (Starting at 8pm PST)
