I'm in again, hopefully life won't ruin my plans this time as it did the last two times, and I'll be able to participate.
Tools: * Engine: Unity * 3D Art: Blender * 2D Art: Krita, paint.net, Aseprite, Gimp * Audio: Bosca Ceoil, Bfxr, Audacity
Good luck & have fun everyone
Want to "quickly" learn game development in Unity and be done just when the jam starts?
I just published the final video and thus concluded my beginner tutorial series. Around 6.5h of pure game dev knowledge, best viewed all the way through, but also digestible in single doses:

Don't have that much time? I also got this handy playlist of quick tips and tricks to improve your workflows and therefore development speed, crucial in a game jam!

Leaving the shameless self promo aside for a moment: I'm also very much in for LD51! :sparkles:
Planning on going maximum minimalism and lowest scope possible this time, and concentrate on a polished core loop. We'll see how it goes!
I'm also planning on streaming me playing, rating and analyzing LD games again after the compo has ended. More info on that early next week. (Here's the playlist for this from the last LD: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEl7CIZGv53w45XYCd1Kwqyy-WMKJiQLZ)
Wish you all an awesome time jammin' it out, see you on the other side!
(and for eye-catching purposes, here's a little collage of some of my previous LD games)
Hi
I hope the theme will inspire all of us this time. ;-)
Will program in Delphi (Pascal language) and stream on Twitch (in french) with some hashtags like #LDJam and #LDJam51 If you do it too, think about doing RAIDs between us this week-end. Could be fun for viewers to see different games and technologies.
Enjoy the event and take care of you ! (don't forget to sleep a little, eat solid food and drink water)
This Ludum Dare I am pretty committed to doing something I haven't done for a long time now: write my game in C, using a custom game engine.
I've been putting together the game engine PonyGame over the past few months, and especially the past few weeks. It is definitely pretty incomplete at this point, but it has a lot of stuff I'm pretty happy with, including being able to compile games very fast, and a pretty reasonable Node system inspired by Godot.
Even better--unlike past C games I've done, this game engine supports doing web builds, and pretty painlessly. So I should have a web build of my game alongside a Windows executable.
And, because my game engine ONLY supports pixel art, I am practically forcing myself into using pixel art this time! I have been meaning to make another pixel art game for a while but I am always tempted away by the useful properties of vector or 3D graphics.
Other tools I'm using include: - Aseprite (which my game engine will automatically pull animation data from) - Reaper for music - Audacity - VSCode for programming - GIMP
Good luck to everyone! Very excited. :smile:
And you fool what is your tools ?
Have fun everyone & Let’s goooo!My partner and I are doing this together. We're both crazy nervous-excited right now. The next 6 hours can't go fast enough!

For LD50 I was Home Alone, but didn't scream after shaving. Not too much at least. But this time my whole family is at home, meaning I have to cook and help my kids with some homework. Hope my wife lends me a hand so I can make something with...
Pico8
That's it! Enjoy your weekend!!
Though I'm not loving any of the possible ones atm. :s
Massively inspired by the success of the DART mission. I'm sure my entry will end up being something space-based as a result. Maybe these images will inspire you, too!

It's good to be back :) This is my first jam since LD 46 and @rogueagente 's first time. We're both hyped for the ride!
This time going fully opensource tools for the jam * Game Engine : GODOT * 3D Art :* Blender* * 2D Art : Krita, Gimp
Lets have fun JAMming
Want to try and make a web game. Desperately trying to learn Typescript.
Wish me luck,
good luck to everyone else!!

I put 0 pressure on myself this time; I'm going (probably) with Godot that I estimatelly ued for 5 hours now :v: Last week I was on a huge jam in my country so I'm still kinda recovering after this one but I just don't want to miss Ludum Dare.
Hello everyone! This is our first time attend ludum dare as a group,we just known each other like 1 day ago. It's actually a crazy idea for me to find teammates online for about 5hrs away before the ludum dare start. We get together and discuss about those themes that post online. So far everything is great,also new and strange for us. Wish us luck!
This will be my first one in a while. Gonna keep it simple with Unity.
Every jam I use the newest LTS version of Unity and every jam I need to face 300 different stupid engine errors. This jam is no different.
On LD50 Unity liked to not compile scripts randomly. Let me repeat: the engine doesn't use the code I write. This LD I had the pleasure of using the new "very stable" 2021 LTS and it's even worse.
Random exceptions are here as per usual, but this time we have a new exciting feature: ctrl+z crashing. If you duplicate an object and then undo, the editor crashes.
The crash reporter itself crashed on me while I was sending out a bug report
