Ludum Daradise #1: The World’s Most Relaxed Competition!
During the course of the Ludum Dare 26, did you find yourself working on a game only to realize that it was too huge of a task to take on? Did inspiration strike you just a day late, losing yourself 24 precious hours? Did a new, more interesting idea pop into your head during the voting stage of the competition? Did you simply wish you had more time to continue development of your game into the beauty it could become?
I know that one of these (or all of them) could have happened to you, and that is why I created Ludum Daradise. Ludum Daradise is a laid back “competition” that takes place over the course of four weeks from May 20 to June 17. The goal of Daradise is to give you ample time to polish your game to perfection, or to create an entirely new one under the same theme.
I found that my entry didn’t convey the minimalistic theme as much as I would have liked. So, over the past few weeks I’ve been working on a game on and off that I believe would fit the game better. The graphics are simple and clean, the gameplay is a mix of Asteroids and Lunar Lander, and the music is actually implemented this time around and is created randomly by the gameplay itself.
If you already have an updated version of your game, or a completely new one, you can send it in to ludumdaradise(at)gmail(dot)com. I’ll post it HERE whenever I am able. Make sure you include at least one screenshot, a brief description, and a download link so others can play!
