Had a real blast getting this one together, despite having no idea what to do if Collector got picked on Friday. Definitely wouldn't have been possible without some of the engine additions and extra workflow tools done since the last LD. Time to go rest! I hope everyone else had fun!

Another Ludum Dare done! I was really happy with this one, especially after the tiny RPG I did back in LD55. I think Isle Of The Orbs is a massive improvement on that, and I think I did well. You can play it on web or on Windows here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/58/isle-of-the-orbs Screenshot 2025-10-07 080633.png
Loot Goblin!
We had a lot of ideas that had to get cut for time, but overall we got a ton of stuff done and it turned out great.
Now I get to play everyone else's games :smirk:
Catch you all at LD59 :peace:

Lot's of Coding and progress regardless, as usual it's not directly game related but is in a bigger picture of my game writing.
Looking forward too rolling over into the 3 week challenge, regale sailing at bit more.
Not planning anything large.!
It always scares me to death that it might not be there this round, but I assume it still is?
Trapped in the Mist, the girl awakens in the dim confession booth of a church.
"Who am I? Where is this?" The dream offered no answers.
Outside the confession booth, a green-haired elf, an aloof mage, and a long-haired priest appear both strange and familiar.
"Come with us," they say. "You will find the answers."
"Am I a sinner? And who are they?"
With these questions lingering in her heart, she reaches for the priest's outstretched hand—
And so, the journey begins.

"Collector" resonated more as a theme, and well, from imagining the player being a collectable, this is what our two person team came up with...XD

Did you actually participate in a game jam if you didn't finish the entry 15 minutes before the deadline? Give it a spin if you want an eerie feeling space mining game
First game jam is in the books. It was fun, a bit stressful, but overall a really cool experience. We didn’t really know what to expect going in, but it felt good to actually make something from start to finish, even with the time pressure. Now it's time to actually play some games! Congrats everyone <3

You arrived in the quiet and peaceful village called Debt Meadow, where gnomes live in happiness, harmony, and TERRIBLE DEBTS.
Your task as a COLLECTOR is to track down the gnome in debt among the hundreds of Debt Meadow residents using a scroll with his appearance and personality traits.
AND TO SHAKE HIM DOWN OF HIS COINS!
Please do not disturb honest villagers who are not on our list, or pay them one gold coin if you have made a mistake.
If you run out of gold coins, don't worry... WE'LL JUST FIRE YOU.
Where’s My Money, Gnomski?!? explores the Ludum Dare 58 theme pretty much straightforward: - You literally play a role of a Debt Collector, equipped with all tools needed and ready to use all tricks to get things done. - Besides that, a key skill in collecting anything is the ability to distinguish valuable and important things from the ordinary ones. Similarly, in our game, the core gameplay revolves around Tracking Down debtor in the village full of regular gnomes. - Game Mode and win/lose conditions of our game also built around theme of collecting money and depends on how precise you are in tracking a debtor.
Please play our game and if you'll found it somehow good - give it a rate! Pretty pleeease!

It was both stressful and fun! During development, everything I was afraid of actually happened — from unexpected problems to last-minute chaos. I didn’t manage to fully finish the game, and in the last 20 minutes, I even ran into build issues.
Still, I learned a lot throughout the event, and it made me want to join more game jams in the future. The journey has just begun!
In our game you are a sneaky thief trying to steal famous (almost exactly the same as the originals) paintings! Don't get caught and be stealthy when the guide is watching you!
