I had so much fun doing this Compo! Let's start rating now.

It’s my first time joining ludum dare and working with @voidsrc as a team, and I’m already having so much fun and gaining tons of experience. Here's our setup!

Soulbearer is finished!

Descend into the catacombs and collect souls to fuel your lantern. Keep your distance from restless beings and keep your lantern burning or you will join the dead for eternity.

This was my first attempt at a somewhat spooky/atmospheric compo game. I think it turned out quite nice despite some time constraints. Check it out!

I can’t outrun them - they’re smarter than me.

The hardest simple game you'll ever play.

This was my second time participating in the compo. I took a way more relaxed approach and finished way earlier than I expected. Here's the result: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/58/gems-of-kaine

Time flies when you're having fun, can't believe we're already on the last day of the jam. Honestly feeling pretty good about where the game is at the moment, gonna spend today doing UI and polish see y'all at the end!

So I managed to submit my game, Video Store Blitz, right on the line of the compo. And that's because it's likely the most complicated game jam project I've worked on. It's actually two games in a trench coat, one a high octane arcade collecting game, the other a fake Wikipedia.

I wanted to make something that gamified my personal collecting experience, a game which could include the back and forth of doing a bunch of research at home and then going to the store and hurriedly scanning all the shelves to see if they have this or that film I really wanted. Unfortunately, that required building a database of fake movies to collect. There are over 70 fake movies with descriptions, cast, crew, awards, all to make a little fake video store come to life. The first 24 hours of this project was just building out the logic to generate all the fake movies without having to sit and do it all by hand (though there was still a ton of hand work). The fact it's playable with a fairly sizable database synced between two different programs (written in two different languages!) Is pretty cool imo.

I have done the Jam before, but I had never done the Compo!

This is what I came up with:

This time my focus was on graphics. It was my first real pixel art game and I am proud of how it came out.

Try to explore the shards of collapsed universe and save the survived history https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/58/fluxbeam

I think this is a failure on my part! I couldn't allocate enough time and effort to bring my idea to life. I started wrong and spent a lot of time solving very simple and non-essential tasks. Next time, the project will be fully implemented and playable

Can be played here!

The whole upload process was stressful, I'd say because I didn't test upfront whether the web port from Godot would work or my shaders would be compatible with the different renderer. But hey I got a somewhat decent Solitaire working in less than two days (in which I learned how to play it). So this event was quite fun again!

A friend just played my game, found a meta strategy and beat my highscore easily. Now I'd love to see your highscore & screenshot!

I’d also love to hear your feedback and rating! Post a Screenshot of your highscore!! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/58/shape-collector

My son asked me why I was smashing old Jars... I needed to create everything from scratch for the compo, so had to do my own foley! :D

Anyways, after a bug fix, the game is now playable!

Will share more in the morning.

That is another Ludum Dare Success!!!

Thanks all! goodnight and good luck to all those still jammin!

I am so amazed by how much we've managed to get done in these 2 days. It really shows how much our gamejam skills have improved these past few jams. From getting better at planning and scope creep to just being more prepared and on the same wavelength with each other. Can't wait to see what we can get done tomorrow!

Good luck with the final stretch everyone! Time for bed now...

i made a change prior to the end of the jam that i guess i didn't upload the fire pit here is the change, in the current build it's raised up too high, my buddy got stuck on it during playtesting.
