Do may LD developers use existing game frameworks and collaborate on improving those frameworks?<\/p>\n

For example have you seen an amazing LD entry and considered working with the developer on creating a framework for that genre of game?<\/p>\n

Or are the best entries already using good frameworks built on their technology stack e.g. Unity \/ Haxel \/ Monkey \/ BlitzMax \/ Java \/ C# \/ C++ \/ Unreal \/ Cryengine etc?<\/p>\n

OK this would only work if your game worked within or close to a given frameworks genre e.g. FPS, RTS, Platformer, 2D\/3D, Racing, Flight so it might reduce the diversity of Ludum Dare entries but I would\u00a0think it would increase the quality of entries quite a bit.<\/p>\n

What do you think, is LD all about re-inventing the wheel or could it be about improving\u00a0different styles of wheel for different jobs?<\/p>\n
