Theme Announcement!

Honestly I'm not that disappointed by Every 10 Seconds, as long as everyone comes up with good unique ideas there shouldn't be too many similar games.

Every 10 seconds

Game idea: you are a Ludum Dare game developer desperately refreshing the Ludum Dare home page every 10 seconds trying to find inspiration for your game

GL HF!

I just heard of the new Extra format and decided to join! GLHF!

is this a first?

the publicly hated theme winning? the community theme strawpoll ACTUALLY predicting the theme???

MADNESS!

No idea what to do with this theme though

I suppose using themes you don't really like is part of the fun. . . I do feel kinda restrained though. At first glance, I can only think of arcade style games, which I'm not sure I feel like making. Gonna probably have to spend extra time this jam brain storming. Anyways, good luck folks, let's make some games.

10 seconds, really?!

I tend to dislike theme in LD, but this time... I'd say I hate it, but I just feel so demotivated that I can't force myself to feel something so strong as hate :( Maybe I'll have an idea for something inventive worth trying, but when I was going through finale them voting, I had some idea for every one of them - in case of 10 seconds it was - ok, if this actually wins I'll either give up or do something completely unrelated...

Suck...

Every 10 seconds? Hate it, but I'm in.

"The theme always sucks" is a common thing to hear in LDs, but I'm of the opinion that this theme is uniquely terrible.

I'm thinking more likely than not I'll just completely ignore it. But I'll give it a bit to percolate. Maybe other people will have clever ideas that inspire me.

Some ideas for unblocking

  • turn based game where you have to plan the next 10 seconds of your character(s)

  • repeat the last 10 seconds

  • play with relative physics to stretch or squeeze those 10 seconds

Feel free to use these or add your own in the comments!

Have fun!

Interesting theme : every 10 seconds a new idea for a new game

We chosen it and we don't have any idea of what to do with it ? We are probably human developers. ;)

Every 10 seconds is a very open theme. Add a counter and something happen or must be done every 10 seconds to gain points or loose something.

A new bonus in an arcade game, a new enemy in a space invader game, so many things can be done.

I will see after some hours of sleeping and let's start something in 10 hours online on Twitch.

Have a good day and night depending on your time zone.

New Theme Just Dropped

Dropping on Tilted Towers, lads. Every 10 seconds --- interesting, can work with this. I'm vying for the classic survival. Will touch base after some no-lifing!

Lovely theme!

Looks like I'm one of the few that actually like this theme... :laughing: I'm gonna make something that is tied to a regular beat so I can make a nice music for the game. I've been watching videos about SunVox today and I wanna use it. I'm thinking about a simple 2.5D shooter where you shoot the gun every 10 seconds? :thinking:

Wonderful theme!!!

I Just freaking loved this theme! it's so easy to come with a new idea!

Think about scanning line every 10 seconds

Lumines. That puzzle title came up to my mind when timed game is more less the theme for the jam. The theme suggest constant pace throghout the gameplay which is match already the Lumines's core mechanics.
