Ludum Dare 48 April 24–27, 2021

Guess what? Another LD stream!

Hey guys! I'm going live right now at https://www.twitch.tv/secret_juice to play your LD games! We'll play your submissions, danger zone games, and maybe try for some high scores as well! Hope to see you here!

Question about ratings

So for a long time now I've been keeping my Humor category unlocked but telling people to avoid rating it if they like. I have a silly reason for this, but it's not super important.

My question is, however, do I need 20 ratings in Humor for my game to be ranked, if I have 20 ratings in Overall? After looking at the rating section of the page I'm not sure. I am suddenly worried that I'm not going to be able to get a ranking due to my silly request.

I do not actually care about getting a ranking in the Humor category itself--but if it prevents me from getting a ranking in the other categories that is a real problem.

Tank every one alot! For this 20!

Will you manage to escape the Employees ?

An office boss forgot to put coffee back into the coffee machine. Impossible for its furious employees to work in these conditions. There is only one solution for the boss: to run away.

Promise the next time we will not forget the coffee.

Спасатели прибыли! Rescue team has arrived! Vol. 2

Все еще обращаюсь к русскоговорящей аудитории Лудум Дэра. Закидывайте свои игры в комментарии к этому посту, пройду/поиграю в вашу игру здесь https://www.twitch.tv/runuchok, так же просто заглядывайте и бросайте ссылки прямо в чат стрима. Если же ваша игра недобирает до 20 рейтинга, 100% кидайте ссылку на неё везде где можно! XD На стриме будем спасать не прошедшие порог для оценки игры!

For English-speaking folks, drop link to your game anywhere I can see it. Here in comments, or come to stream and drop it in chat! (https://www.twitch.tv/runuchok) One issue: I'll not able to talk to you in an understandable manner because my speaking English is very bad)) But you will see me playing your game, and I ll definitely rate it after playing! If your game is less than 20 ratings, 100% drop link to it! My first task is to help games pass 20 rating barrier!

Expanding a compo game

Hi guys,

My LD48 entry was pretty meh. I once again had a scope problem. BUT for once I decided to spent a bit more time doing a postjam version. It was a pretty interesting experience that will help me estimate time and scope more accurately in the future. If you have never tried expanding your jam games, I would recommand giving it a try!

Shork Optimisation and UI update

We just updated Shork to have better performance, as well as adding in a menu. You can now change how many fish are in the game from the main menu, in case you are lagging!

Try the game here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/shork

Please note that the web version only works for some people, and in some cases seems to work, but the fish have no AI. We recommend downloading it rather than playing in the browser.

Windows, Linux and Mac (untested) are supported! SHORK-compressed.png
