This time i'm going to make a solo jam.

I'll use: - Unreal Engine 5 - Blender - Krita/Photoshop - for the audio part IDK yet

Good luck to all!

Id say its a good theme for a writing contest or a full game with lore and story. But for a game-jam i generally want a theme that can be applied to mechanics.

To bad the one and only best theme didnt make it through the slaughter... ☃️

I'm in! =)

Take these results with a grain of salt, but here are the current standings for my ongoing theme poll! Thanks to the 258 voters so far! If you want to vote and haven't yet, CLICK HERE.

I though it started at 11PM but it's 2AM! Looks like I'll be trying to get an early night tonight.

I've been working on a basic starting template this week. Just a simple entity system using libgdx/box2d. I always end up spending a bunch of time looking up the box2d api and chasing down little bugs at the start. Downloading texturepacker, looking up how to disable antialiasing in blender, etc. So I think I've saved myself an hour or so of work there. I also have a script in blender that will render out all the graphics/animations for me with the right names. I always end up forgetting to change the output filename and then having to go and re-render the previous animation.

I'M MORE READY THAN I'VE EVER BEEN!

Just realised my music production laptop isn't switching on. Also it has several mysterious liquid stains on it :( Not ideal but I'll just install ableton on my desktop

Hard to believe that I started with Ludum Dare 24. I have enjoyed all of them, except one, and I am really looking forward to #50. Congratulations to everyone who has participated over the years and has been inspired to become a #gamedev because of this service. Thank you Mike for keeping this event going year after year.

So, it's LD time once again, and 50th! :open_mouth:

Last few weeks work and other stuff have been tiring me out to a level I don't know if I can manage to make it to the Jam, but will try to do so.

Tools will probably be: - Engine: Phaser or GameMaker - Audio: FL Studio and whatever instrument I have laying around - Graphics: Affinity Suite + Aseprite

Good luck to everyone! :wink:

Amis francophones,

Dans le cadre de la Jam, nous recherchons un graphiste afin de remplacer le nôtre qui a un empêchement.

Nous sommes actuellement un groupe de 4 : - 2 développeurs sous game maker studio 2 - 2 sound designer

Je fais également du graphisme en plus de la programmation donc je pourrais accessoirement aider. Ma page itchio : https://cortexxx.itch.io/

Contacter moi sur discord : Cortex#4722

Merci

It's that time of year again! :pointright: :cowboy: :pointright:

We're getting back in the saddle for another weekend of shenanigans, and as usual, we'll be streaming our whole process over at https://www.twitch.tv/coleslawski! Come stop by if you ever need a break from the chaos.

May the theme gods bless you! :pray:

:smile:

Been watching jealously from the side-lines for some time but this time I am going to try and get something in. This is my first attempt at a game jam. I have always wanted to have a go. I will probably bail.

I wasn't invited but here is a wallpaper to show my excitement and trepidation.

LD Jam 50!

I participated in a jam a few years back, but I was still new in the world of game dev and it was... well a flop to say the least. But after seeing another jam was just this weekend, I decided to give it another try now that I am more experienced.

• Engine: Unity
• IDE: Microsoft Visual Studio
• Sprites: GIMP
• 3D Models: Blender
• Audio: Bosca Ceoil

Looking forward to this jam and the great games that will be made! Good luck!

Have some mercy on our souls please I dont want to have to play a shit ton of bathroom related games and puzzle games thank you

I am participating in this epic Ludum Dare Game Jam Tools Unity GIMP Blender Aseprite Audacity BandLab SFXR/BFXR

Its my second time doing this game jam! this time in a smaller group with 1 other person! Looking forward to how this will turn out.

This is our (me and @HexyVexy - ArcaneRituals) first game jam, and we are very excited.

We've made a few small things, but we are mostly still learning the ropes. We are both technology professionals though, so we are good at bluffing our way through complex stuff!

Our goal is to have something to present by Monday, no lofty goals for our first go-around.

Personally, I am hoping for Folklore. We are both Scottish so there is a ton of great mythology we could plunder from our history.

My stack:

Engine: Unity
IDE: JetBrain's Rider
Audio: REAPER

I'm planned on doing something, but not finishing a game. Likely this will involve Zig, PICO8, or libtcod.
