How to sign up for Ludum Dare?

Hello! First time for Ludum Dare and not sure how to sign up. Is there a button I'm missing somewhere? Or do I click on "My Game" and make a game? Also can't find the "follow" button for some reason.

Fashionable clothes

Hi, I recommend you : https://heavenlyfamily.com . We believe that our aim is to spread the Word of the Lord through the production of Christian clothing, thus becoming a "walking word" giving others a glimpse of the truth. Know God with these things .

Hamsters

Hoping construct 2 will last until the end of the year :smile:

Hark back to LD in 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKujcnlPV88

Ayo.

My name is Arseniy, I'm 16 y.o and I'm from Ukraine, and i already was there. It's my second Ludum Dare, and i hope 10th grade won't prevent me to participate, he-he. I participated in 50th LD in Compo, but i don't know will i participate in Compo or Jam in this one yet.

Tools: - Godot 3.5 (probably Mono) as game engine - Aseprite as sprite and bg editor (classic) - Visual Studio Code as code editor (who would doubt) - Reaper for music and SFX (can it be used for something else at all?) - Blender for 3D modelling (not so many chances that I will use it)

UPD: I forgot to wish good luck, so good luck!

Fictional physical phenomena

Done with the slaughter :) I kept 88 this time.

My absolute favorite was "Fictional physical phenomena"

That just filled my head with thousands of Ideas for games instantly and works for every genre of game. You can come up with a weird phenomenon as a mechanic in a platformer or you can create a story around a mysterious phenomenon. Just so many possibilities.

Thank you to whoever submitted this

ARTIST here looking for a Team

I have done many game jams solo before but i want to join this jam as an artist. I can make 2d pixel art and cartoon-like art as well. I use PS, Pencil2D and aseprite for art. I can code in python and use Godot for making 2d games but i will join this jam as an artist only. LETS TEAM UP AND WIN

How can I find my teammates?

Hello everyone! I am participating to LD for the very first time with some friends, but I am a bit confused about how we can find and follow/add each other. I don't seem to find features like "search user" but probably it's just me being a noob.

Ai generated Animation

Hi,

I have been practicing a lot with AI art generators for the Jam. Currently I am trying to get animations to work.

I played around a lot with stable diffusion and managed to get it to generate the following Animations of a woman and a lizardman (No edit in photoshop later straight out of stable diffusion)

I used frames from a stock video of a man running as a starting point

It seems tougher to get the animations consistent the further you stray away from the starting frames

Negative experiences with "looking for a team" posts?

I'd like to work on a game dev team for the first time. So my plan was to make a post like "hi I'm looking for a team, I have x skills, I'd like someone with x skills" but a lot of potential problems arose my mind.

The Questions:

  • What if the guy seemed cool at the start but then turns out to be troublesome?
  • How troublesome can "troublesome" get?
  • What if we just decide that we don't like each other mid-jam?
  • What if the guy's profile just looks creepy? Can I just say "no thanks"?
  • How to prevent these problems?
  • What should I expect?
  • Is there a better way to find teammates on internet?

Come on, tell me horror stories. I wanna have realistic expectations.

Is it a problem that I am an unknown publisher?

Whenever I try to run any of my exported projects a warning pops up saying its from an unknown publisher. This hasnt really been an issue because I have mostly just shared these files with my friends, but is it going to be an issue for Ludum Dare? And is there a way to become a known publisher?

don't know who suggested this

but u made me feel Seen here at 12:48 AM slaughtering themes all alone lol chrome_teCKQPiWqy.png

  • president squid
  • rat king
