Ludum Dare 48 April 24–27, 2021

A long time ago in a game compo far far away...

I made a game called RoboSub for Pyweek 6 in 2008.. kindof feels applicable for this theme :rofl:

..but of course gonna do something new.

First time ever...

...a theme I voted for won! Gotta be that LD48 magic.

I'm in :)

Planning on making another Ren'Py visual novel! I enjoy writing and being able to get games out of it quickly. Hopefully joined by my favorite artist Colm~

Pre-Jam jam, the end

So, I took a bit of time to finish up the pong game I was making as a warmup to this LD, and surprisingly enough I ended up finishing it on "the deadline" (the start of the actual jam that is). Really happy with my progress on Godot, and I hope I can come up with something cool for the voted theme (at least cooler than some janky pong).

Good luck everyone on your compo/jam game!

Good luck!

Good luck to everyone!

I'm in!

My first LD was in 2009, with #14 and the theme Advancing Wall of Doom. I've done entries here and there throughout the years, but I absolutely could not miss THE Ludum Dare 48.

The theme was not one of my top choices, so I'll need some time to think of a game idea, but I'm excited for this weekend!

And So it Begins

Off to brainstorm; brb

Good luck

good luck to everyone

compo ends?

what is the diference between compo and jam and why the timing of em different ? first time participating in ludum dare :))TIA

Finally!

Been working on finishing the music app I plan on using for LD48 and my current non-LD project while waiting for the theme to be announced.

Hey look, it's Deeper And Deeper! That was probably my favorite theme I voted for. Now the question is if the idea I have for it can even be done in 48 hours. I'd hate to switch to the Jam just for another mere 24 hours when it's the symbolic 48th 48-hour event.

(Yes, that's right, I actually like the theme despite a Ludum Dare tradition being everyone hating the theme)

Now, I'd better finish up my music app. Good thing is it means I'm actually doing something while brainstorming my game design.

I would also like to apologize for the fact that I'm apparently cursed, because I +1'd Stuck In A Loop too. At this rate whatever I +1 in LD49 is going to be the theme.

🎉🎉 It's not You Are The Power Source! That was probably the only theme I truly disliked this time.

I'm in!

It's been a long time since finishing a game here and this time I plan to invest energy into actually doing something fun. I plan to learn Unity at the same time, let's see how it goes.

So far three main ideas: 1) Mines exploring, like in Stardew Valley 2) Journey to the Center of the Earth - digging deeper and deeper discovering interesting worlds inside 3) Planet inside a planet inside a planet - when you dig deep, you discover a smaller, weird planet. You dig even deeper, there is another, smaller and even weirder world inside...

3:15 AM - The game is afoot

It's jam time! First of all, good luck to everyone else participating in this, let's all have fun!

Maybe I should introduce myself a little bit before: My name is Sheinxy, I'm a silly IT student who decided to come back for this jam! This is my second time participating here (the first one being a year ago) I'm working with Godot, Piskel and BFXR, and this time around I am not alone as my (lovely) boyfriend wanted to participate too by doing musics for me Unlike last year when I had a lot of free time (due to obvious reasons) this year's jam is going to be a little harder for me, schoolwork and responsibilities come first and they are not going to make it easy working on a game, so I guess this is going to be quite a hustle, but a good one! It's probably going to feel more like a 24h game jam :d

Now, now, let us see. The theme is Deeper and Deeper, quite a good theme, I like it! The first thing that came to my mind when seeing that theme was the game Spelunky, but I don't think I'm going to go in that direction. Unlike last year I don't have much to work with, only my small macbook, limited time and resources (but a great musician on board, so not everything is bad :3) Due to that, I will have to aim for a smaller game compared to last year, but I'll make up for it by aiming for a really good one! I'm quite fine with working with limitations anyways, I think limitations push towards turning your thinking around, thus breeding creativity!

Anyhow, I am now given a choice to either sleep right now and start working early, or start working now and wake up quite late, I'll probably do a mix of these two options I haven't found what I will do yet, but I'll think about something great!

On that note, the game is afoot! 2aa18.gif
