hey so uh this is my first game jam in general, probably will rate very low but we all gotta start from somewhere right?

So my Vulkan Java engine could be more complete...

I haven't done deferred rendering yet.

I do have basic 3D rendering / audio / input / the start of some physics, which I usually spend ages doing in the alotted time.

Hopefully I can get a deferred renderer done overnight, otherwise I might have to rework things a bit.

Happy Ludum Daring!!

Looking forward to another jam! Still have to decide on what tech I'm going to use, will probably wait till the theme is announced to commit to an engine.

Wanted to be there for LD55, couldn't because I got massively sick precisely on that weekend. Sucks. BUT I'M BACK. And I'll take this opportunity to get back in the groove for Godot and game jamming. Three jams so far, all have been a ton of fun and I'm not going to stop there :sparkles:

I'm in!

I am getting excited to see this theme. The next 48 hours are going to be fun.

Number 2 Ludum Dare

Number 2 Ludum Dare

Going back on my post history, I haven't posted an "I'm In" since LD53, which was one of the two times I jumped ship from my terrible game ideas to help @shreemp with his.

To be honest, after that my mental health basically collapsed. I participated in some LD slaughters and tried to participate in LD55 w/ shreemp (I got taken out by the theme sucks + I had the flu, all on top of the terrible mental health :skull:) but I haven't posted a legitimate "I'm In" hype post since then. But my mental health has been a lot better this year since I've been able to start medically transitioning, and my creativity has improved significantly with the lessened weight of dysphoria & depression. Even looking back at my old posts I can see game ideas for themes I previously rated as horrible, although I still stand by my ratings lol.

So this time the goal is to make a friggin game for once!!! And not just alone, but going in w/ shreemp from the start! I KNOW we make a good team and I'm tired of my dumb little brain holding me back so this post is for hyping myself up and holding myself accountable :muscle: I don't care what the theme will be, try me universe!!! I will LITERALLY punch god to make this LD happen!!!

Other than Godot 4 and beepbox, tools are up in the air since it's gonna be a team effort haha.

now on to the unsolicited advice time!

• Update your computer! Or even just give it a reboot for funsies to make sure everything's running smoothly!
• Update your browser(s)!
• Update your game engine if you're using one and it isn't one you made yourself!
• Godot users who just updated: GET THOSE EXPORT TEMPLATES!!!

Going to attempt my first LD.

can't believe i started ld jams almost 5 years ago anyway i skipped a lot and my life has changed drastically but me here

1. I'm in the LDJAM 2. I might be in with @Lachlan5150 3. uhh... the real 3rd thing was the friends we made along the way

After a lot of logistics to get all the equipment to the same location as well as a lot of networking woes to get the git server up and operational, we're ready to go!

Let's go!

This is my first Ludum Dare since LDJam 48. It's been 3 years? I used to do these quite regularly, either as part of a team or solo. I really enjoyed them, but I've been too busy getting a degree to really join in.

I'm very out of practice, I haven't made a game since that last Ludum Dare, so I'm understandably anxious about it all! I hope I make something of meaning.

I've been doing Ludum Dare on and off since 2012 or so, it's wild to see how much it's changed in that over a decade. I don't plan on ever giving up on it!

I've had a quick look through the themes and I have some ideas. I'll likely be working with one of my partners for art on this, and maybe doing some audio myself.

Let's make some games!

I am just setting up my github repository for hosting my source code. And I wanted to add a badge to show the LD edition!

I have also used the following topics: game game-development ludum-dare ludumdare ludumdare56 ludum-dare-56

Who is using github as well ?

Hey! My partner forced me to make a wallpaper for the jam so I crammed in lots of characters from our previous games. Goodbye sekai!

Going at it solo with Godot, finally have a free ludum dare weekend.

I'm in or i will at least to try to finish a game :]
