Ludum Dare 58 October 3–6, 2025

Oops...

My procedural generation had a small... meltdown. Let's call it a "cosmic clutter event."

Maybe the game was TOO inspired by my perpetually messy desk. I've created a black hole of junk!

Wish me luck as I clean this up... both in-game and in real life!

Guys, rules explanation needed.

We received couple of feedbacks, that our game don't run smoothly on older specs. So we created build with customizable video settings.

And here I need your advise on how rules work: can we upload it to the itch.io so more players could play the game or is it against the rules? And if we could - should we mark it somehow? Or replace current build?

(just to be clear - nothing more were added).

Thanks for explanations in advance!

Come build a city in Taxcellent!

Paying taxes sucks. Filling in forms, submitting papers, guessing if you filled out the right ones. But you know, taxes aren't all bad, they can actually be pretty fun, IF you're the one collecting them hehe.

Come, develop your regions, build cities and collect the maximum taxes possible in Taxcellent!

Caves of Qud meets Pokemon Snap

aeternia.gif

Here's my entry Aeternia, a game I humbly considered an awkward blend between Caves of Qud (not so many colors) and Pokemon Snap (you take pictures of strange animals).

Plus there's a hidden gameplay twist nobody seems to have found yet... maybe you can?

I think I made my best game yet!
