Here at Ludum Dare, being the best game isn\u2019t the only way to win. Games are rated in 7 additional categories, with a special \u201cCoolness\u201d category highlighting people that went above and beyond to be sure you got a vote.<\/p>\n

So in addition to the 242 entries created by individuals for competition, there are 43 more games<\/strong> created teams or individuals that decided to take an extra day to polish their game. Be sure to check those out here:<\/p>\n ALL JAM GAMES (43)<\/a><\/strong> <--<\/span><\/p>\n [ ALL COMPO GAMES (242)<\/a> | ALL GAMES (285)<\/a> ]<\/p>\n Wow!<\/p>\n We are keeping score here, and again, the latest event managed to annihilate<\/strong> our prior best \u2026 IN DECEMBER<\/strong> of all months too (our historically lowest month). Back in August, we were impressed that we inched 10 ahead of our prior best, with 213. This time, we were just 15 entries shy of 300<\/strong>! And if you look at the theme voting<\/a>, more than 600<\/strong> people cast a vote for the final theme!<\/p>\n Lets crunch some numbers\u2026<\/p>\n Event Games: 203+213+285 = 701<\/strong> Thanks to Sos for helping me with the math.<\/p>\n Seriously, every single one of you that participated, whether you finished a game or not, you\u2019re awesome. Phil and I (Mike\/PoV) took over running Ludum Dare in 2007, and every event since we\u2019ve been constantly impressed at how much it\u2019s grown, and continue to be amazed that it keeps growing so much. What will 2011 bring? Will we break 1000 games?<\/p>\n A big thanks to all of you for helping us make 2010 such a fantastic year.<\/p>\n Lots of timelapse videos to dig through. I still haven\u2019t had a chance to watch them all, but I\u2019ll give them a browse soon. I\u2019ll try to do that this week.<\/p>\n \u2013 Keynote!<\/a>, starring Some Bear Thing \u2014 With Special Guest Mjau Interesting Tags: montage<\/a>, motivation<\/a>, foodphoto<\/a>, food<\/a>, deskphoto<\/a>, desk<\/a>, timelapse<\/a>, bear<\/a><\/p>\n Attending GDC? Stay tuned! Like last year, Phil and I want to get a whole bunch of us together somewhere, perhaps more than just once! If you haven\u2019t already, sign up for the mailing list<\/strong><\/a>, and we\u2019ll keep you informed. Also, you can follow Ludum Dare on Twitter<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Like always, stop by again in April for our next regularly scheduled event. We\u2019ll try to have a date nailed down before GDC (Feb 28th), so we can brag about it at the conference. Again, don\u2019t forget the mailing list<\/strong><\/a>, and Twitter<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Fans of LD19\u2019s Silly Themes, take note! Jonny D has a surprised planned just for you. Tune in this month<\/strong> for a very special Mini LD.<\/p>\n If you have any suggestions for us (website, observations, etc), we continue to collect them in the comments here:<\/p>\nLudum Dare 19 Jam Games!<\/h2>\n
