Ludum Dare 58 October 3–6, 2025

My inspo

That's Biba ! Main character of our game covere.png Biba was heavily inspired by Boba - my beautiful (and a little silly) cat Screenshot 2025-10-07 022544.png

And that's the end

It's a shame we didn't manage to bring all our ideas to life, but in any case, you can enjoy the mysterious atmosphere in Debt Chaser Screenshotem1.jpgScreenshot/em3.jpg

"Suck! It! Up!" is the intergalactic gameshow about creating habitable planets!

We finished our game. You go around sucking up animals in your spaceship afterwhich you will arrange them on a new planet to get crazy balatro-esque synergies!

Can you stay on the show and make it to the season finale!?

My first ever soundtrack

I finally did it.

I liked music from the very first day I remember myself so it was natural for me to pick up an instrument when I was in my 20s. I still haven't mastered any DAW, so for my first soundtrack I just picked up my old mic and guitar and sat there for half of a day thinking about cozy farm game we were making

We didn't create SFX, so we don't participate in audio category, but music was mine. So I felt like I want to share it, it is an important milestone. I know it is not ideal and I know what to change if I had more time, but for me it is a piece of history -- my first ever soundtrack. I did it

So incredibly proud of what we've managed to put down!

Wow.. WHAT a jam this was... We've been able to accomplish way more than we thought we would.

And I CANNOT believe that I got my OWN GRANDPA to do the main voice acting for the game!!! Now I will forever have a game with my grandpa in to look back on :) HOW SICK IS THAT!?!?!?!

Over the moon with how this went and so excited to show the game to grandpa tomorrow! :))))

If you'd like to check it out, the voice acting is in Dutch, but we've made subtitles in English for the main narrative! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/58/opa-is-de-koning

Special thanks to my grandpa, my mother (who also has a role in the game) and my amazing partner (this was their first ever official jam and they did so good <3)

First solo game project!

I really enjoyed creating Totem Traveller! A platformer where you gather magic to collect totems that reward you with new movement based magical abilities.

Almost every aspect of this project was something I have never done before. An amazing learning experience! Thank you to anyone who takes the time to check out my project! <3

Now, to try out as many other games as I can! Congratulations to everyone who submitted. <3

https://verysoftwares.itch.io/gathering is out now (for Windows). sadly i was not able to produce a working web build due to there being too many assets apparently. the game is fully voice acted after all, unusually for a jam game.

it is also very silly and i will make more of it. exciting times
