As I did for the last two editions, I’ll be taking part in the Ludum Dare 72h jam along with my buddies Canardu57, pixelboy, schouillette, bilou84, Xael (and probably some others) using CraftStudio, my coop game-making platform (who -totally not a coincidence- just happens to have hit beta status).

Screenshot from our first try at a game for LD25 (idea ended up scrapped)

Schouillette and I have stocked on food as a bunch of our teammates are coming to jam together in person! I’m looking forward to having great fun designing another wacky game with friends in definitely-not-enough-time! I’ll try to livestream at http://twitch.tv/eliseegw

Others in the CraftStudio community have announced they will join too: Erwan0fil and friends, Adam Clarke, Van Merwan and possibly NexxCR.

Free CraftStudio week-end!

If you’d like to try out CraftStudio this LD but are still on the fence and don’t want to shell out the 20 € just yet, I’m running a 5-days long free week-end (yeah, that doesn’t make much sense to me either) for the occasion, starting… 15 minutes from now! Just create an account, download it and you’ll get access to all features for the duration of the jam and then some!

CraftStudio comes with a physics engine, Lua or visual scripting, a built-in model & map editor and real-time cooperation support!

You can check out a bunch of games made with it over here: http://store.craftstud.io/games
