Ludum Dare 51 September 30–October 3, 2022

fixed it

not used to Not Making It In Time For Jam, but looking forward to how our game turns out by the end of casual!

also it's dumb that godot's export scenes with dependencies doesn't seem to actually export the dependencies i got it working by saying EXPORT E V E R Y T H I N G which is dumb. gives me unity flashbacks

Actually good game ❓❓❓

Remember my previous post?

Well, we threw the whole idea into the trash and started from scratch.

I don't really know what happened, but we actually ended up with a really good game:

Anyways, now it is time to see what you managed to build! Very excited to see new ideas 😁

Just submitted our game Home R.I.P.airs!!

This was our first ever Ludum Dare, and we had a blast. Completely unintentional but we ended up making a Halloween-themed game just in time for October. I hope you enjoy; please leave a rating!

Time to go take a nap now. :sleeping:

You call this a healthy workplace!?

There's a baby in here! ... Why is a baby working in a loading dock?

Baby Loader is a Tetris like experience where you play as a crawling baby PULLING and SHOVING boxes across a dock floor.

Don't be too slow... you don't want to make babies look bad!

Boar Breakout DX

You are a pig, experimented on and rigged to explode if you do not complete platforming challenges within ten seconds. Can you escape the lab and run free?!

This is a project by a two man team and definitely still has some bugs. Thank you for checking us out and feel free to give us the harshest you have! Cheers!!🍻

(We're still sorting out some bugs during the grace period.)

Stress test / first impressions

Well, the dust has settled after the submission. My kids came home from school and gave the final product a whirl. We started to finally see some slow downs on my desktop after a few hundred gnomes and skeletons were traipsing about. Not bad!

A couple immediate issues I am seeing:

  • No real end condition. Final numbers were too easy so the game goes on indefinitely. Would love to tweak this, but not really in the spirit of LDJ!
  • Right Mouse button based selection is not actually intuitive for most, and problematic on Macs.. sorry!
  • Gnomes detecting nearby enemies is buggy.. and they often go running off despite you telling them to where to go.. kind of an interesting subtlety.. those damn gnomes!
  • would have loved to have time to make additional unit types, etc.. like gnome wizards. Also add some landscape decoration like gravestones or old tress from which the skellies come.

Oh well, here is as maxxed out army screenshot! Still totally playable on PC with AMD Radeon 5, 2070 Super, 32GB ram... curious how others fare if they have the patience to go big!

Space Dizzy is done!

We made it! It was a tough finish (as it always is), despite the fact that I felt ahead of the game this time around.

We made a puzzle platformer this time, something we've never done before. Really cool project, especially since we had the MVP ready Saturday, which is always the goal but never happens. Turns out that making levels is really hard and requires a lot of time :sweat_smile: Anyway, we once again had a lot of fun and not a lot of sleep.

I hope you'll give Space Dizzy a try. You can play it in your browser

RIGHT HERE!

Clockwork Owl

CW-Owl.jpg Experience the nostalgic bliss of an arcade coin tower game with a twist (and a hoot ^-^). Set in a dark forest filled with anti-clock foxes, you will play as Owlfred Hitchcog, an outcast in the owl community hoo serves as the watchful protector of all things related to cogs and clocks! Will you survive before the foxes get their revenge on the only teller of time in the forest? Hoo knows.

Clockwork Owl is a battle-sim rogue-lite that utilizes coin-pushing mechanics as a means to defend your tower against increasingly challenging waves of enemies. Push cogs off the edge to drop them on your enemies heads! Unlock new cogs that have unique abilities, and upgrade them to increase their damage and reduce their cooldown.

Dreihander (how to fight off the digital hordes in 3 easy steps)

I did my first Ludum Dare as a team alongside @don-juan-javier and had a blast. We ended going with an intense action shooter where your ship changes modes automatically every 10 seconds (thats the theme tie-in, obviously). We went with a relatively simple flat vector art style as I think we both tend to wear the programmer hat pretty well. That said, the audio ended up coming in strong, thanks to Don's skills.

If you are into arcade experiences, give Dreihander a shot! Definitely keep speakers on, fullscreen, and bring the gamepad - controlelrs are fully supported.

Searching for Games?

Hi, I downloaded a game to review it, but apparently I closed the tab, and now I can't find it again.
Is there a way to search for games (limited to the current jam)?

Achieved More Than Expected | 10 Second Village

I'm really happy with this year's entry. Tried something really different and it paid off.

Here's a few features I'm proud of:

  • Random disasters such as fire & flooding
  • Resource collection
  • Random tiles to buy and place
  • Weather effects
  • Controller support with UI that switches between PC and Gamepad

Updates - More Slime, more Gravity , More stats, Better Music

Tweaked a whole bunch of stuff, it's now clearer what's going on every 10 seconds ( earthquake/flooding ), the controls have been tweaked, and the music improved.

Also replaced a few animations to make it play smoother.

Another fun Ludum Dare has come and gone. Huge congrats to everyone who completed there games. I had not enough time to try and complete my game this time. But all thanks to these fun compititions they always bring me back to my feet and not giving up on finishing up at least one project to be proud of for the near future. Also I loved this round's theme as well. I can't wait for the next one when it approaches and try again. Best of luck to all of ya.
