Ludum Dare 48 April 24–27, 2021

My First Game Jam

Hello everyone from this community! I'm new and lately getting into game coding. I've been learning how to code with a help of a friend (@fupi) and did some small projects, but now I got enough confidence to participate the 48th edition of Ludum Dare! I hope that we'll bring something joyful on that day but I'm also excited to see what y'all are going to present so, see you guys in the day!

2D Artist looking for a Team! Found a team!

I'm a 2D artist with a few game jams under my belt, including LD31 & LD32. I can help with some game design, capable of some sound design/music, and like keeping projects organized with things like Trello, Spreadsheets, or even just a GoogleDoc.

Let's talk about some stuff and see if we could work together!

Voting: check!

Voting is done! A lot of similar themes, reposts of previous themes, spam and obscure references later I have made it through. There were a lot more interesting themes this time around though.

Final thoughts

I saw the idea of reducing the amount of theme suggestions per user to one and I think it would greatly improve the voting phase. Many people seem to submit the same theme reworded three times anyway and I think people who want to submit actual themes will feel more inclined to make sure their one suggestion is of high quality.

Welp, that's the voting phase done for now. Can't wait to see the final theme and what everyone will do with it!

I don't know how y'all can manage the Theme Slaughter

I finished like 50 and already I'm so bored and tired like no way I'm able to finish that so mad respect

On that note I promise I won't whine when I don't get that theme I wanted

You can find getting started tutorials here.

first post, flayvouah apelsin best flayvah

the jam is in like 6 days and I never post anything here so I figured I'd converse a little :p

engines n tools

I'm gonna be using the Rust programming language with the bevy engine/framework, I wanted to take a break from Unity and only use that for larger projects... It will be fun learning a lot by failure, but I still hope I make it in time!

I'll def open-source all the code and art once everything is done...

sound n art

For music I'll use the Reaper daw and a bunch of plugins, Vital is a reaaally good and cool n awesome synth that's free, I recommend 10/10! Reaper itself is also sort of free but not really, it's like winrar... For a daw that's as good as it is and for only 60$ it is a really really good deal anyways.


Anndd that's about all of em, maybe aseprite or krita for 2D art, blender for 3D stuff if I decide to go that route...

goodluck everyone! ต(=ω=)ต

Ludum Dare 48

is the theme actually Slaughter Round? Or will that change by Friday?

Hello, Im recruit

I am new in this type of event and don't have experience in game jams. I want to take part in ld48 but I have some doubts about choice. As I think, jam is better for me but I dont really know about that

Voting Round 1

Wow, what a nice bunch of themes this time!

I was traumatized by the pre-voting round (really, I've felt sick from all the violence and repetition) and expected similar gorefest in the end. But no, everything went better than expected. I've only -1'd one and +1'd all the rest.

Kudos to fellow theme butchers.
