Ludum Dare 48 April 24–27, 2021

As is tradition...

MAN, this theme sucks. Why on Earth did I vote for it??? What was going through my pea brain when I decided it would be a good idea to +1 this theme?? I suppose I will suffer for it, and atone for my sins by making a better game this time around...

good theme, but...

Why is it that the simplest themes are always the hardest to come up with a good idea? Let alone one that can be feasibly made in 72 hours?

Almost done!

We just started working on our game and well, It's coming on pretty good. We are almost done with the game so hopefully you enjoy it when we publish it :).

lets do it!

So far I have my usual project boilerplate (https://github.com/DPS2004/ld48),

and a main character sprite!

I really only have a vague idea of what I want to do, so I'm really flying by the seat of my pants here.

Thanks Godot....

I haven't had a single problem with Godot for months, and then the day of Ludum Dare... Godot refuses to start due to graphics card for some reason

At the very least, I think I have finished coming up with an idea. I am very excited about it, I think...

Ah yes, a good theme

30 minutes in and I still have no idea that are not spelunky or downwell copy/pasta. This gonna be gud.

In my game, you will be gathering rare resources with a submarine

I always really liked the "gather resources, upgrade, repeat" games that were the backbone of the golden era of flash games between about 2006 and 2014. Some call them "mining", some call them "launch", but I always found them very fun nonetheless.

While I am sure the idea is not tremendously innovative or anything, I am sure I will have heaps of fun with this project. Going to sleep now. Enjoy my quick concept art sketch. I will try to focus on art a bit more this time, as I will not have to spend as much time on game mechanics, since I am not inventing anything tremendously innovative.

Well....

39 minutes into the Compo and I just now finished the music app I've been working on for hours. Guess I'd better get to work on the actual game itself since time's a-ticking and I can finally make audio.

Leettt'sss gooooo

Some of the themes during slaughtering were making my brain hurt, but all things considered, it could have been much worse. Hopefully it's going to go smooth, so good luck to everyone.

Me in

hehe

LD Newbies

This is our first time participating in Ludum Dare with the intention of completing something. We have wanted to do this for a long time and are excited for the opportunity to dedicate the next few days to the craft. We're of course very hopeful that we will deliver something unique and fun, but have been part of enough projects to remain cautiously optimistic. Worst case scenario, we learn a ton and are better equipped for the next one :blush:

A few ideas have been deposited in the brew kettle, but we're going to sleep on it and let them ferment a little before giving them a taste.

Good luck, fave fun!

Not technically a digging game I guess

You just have to get to the center of the earth, but by controlling the environment! :0 Physics.

Hey Everyone

Hey Guys! Been missing the last couple Ludums. So I was happy to stumble upon this one and I may be a few hours late BUT I am here nonetheless. Good luck everyone! I love this community. Not sure what I'm going to make yet but Dig Deeper is an interesting theme. See y'all on the other side!
