It's day 2 of the jam, and I got started on my game! So like... it's day 1 for me. Social events kept me from starting on things yesterday, but thankfully I managed to get a text-adventury idea going today.

A few previous entries are definitely influencing this one, the lack of time is making me rely on things I have previously learned. That's not necessarily a bad thing I suppose.

My main worry is that I am still stuck fiddling with mechanics and actually playing the game might not be engaging--a constant struggle I always run into. I do have to work tomorrow, so there's really only a few hours left for me in the evening to slap things into shape. We'll see how that one goes! :laughing: But now I sleep!

I'm finally done with building everything, taking screenshots and uploading all the files. I think I'll use the remaining time to get a first glance at a few games. You guys have made some incredible stuff!

Good luck to everyone still working! You're almost there!

LD bugged and sent the post twice and I can't delete the second one so I just change a pic

Luring out very tiny creatures in our laboratory experiments

We've been making good progress, our tiny creatures and our player are mostly set up. There's even a fail state now. The tiny creatures are called the Boys and we love them.

I think I've published my game correctly

But I'm not seeing it, even when I check the games in private browser mode.

Anyone know what's up?

do i spend it trying to fix a clamping issue for some QOl, or quickly burn out a 3rd level

Added a shadow for the player so jumping is more fair.

I did what I could to make my first game, it's not what I expected but I hope at least you like it!

We're still an hour away from the deadline, and my game is ready!

or I'm just too lazy to polish

Too simple...But i'm a Game Designer, not a musician 0_0 That'a all only due to Walk Band and my android :)

First time making something from start to finish in Godot.

It happens to be a survivor-like where you command tiny creatures that "nom" through everything.

Not really sure where we're going, but we're definitely going somewhere!

ayy, it is done: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/56/$397386 Cicada & Les Genouilles is a platformer about collecting frogs

Cool for people who can't drawing! For me -_-

I did not finish everything I wanted but there are shrimp in a tank. And there is some simulation and management.

We get close to the end of the Compo and my game isn't ready... 😥

I give up and I would submit my game for the jam. Good luck to all those in the home stretch! 😘

We're currently polishing last details for DeskBuddy, to make your experience as enjoyable as possible!

My Buddy has gone to sleep! I hope the compo people manage to submit their entries before going to bed as well :muscle:

We'll be submitting ours tomorrow along with the other jam teams. Whether you have an hour or a whole day left, good luck to everybody :fourleafclover:

...yeah, I kinda forgot to say that. For like, the entire duration of the jam.

So yeah, I made a game. It's my first attempt at making basically anything with Godot and I spent about half my time switching between Godot, the documentation and ChatGPT to get something resembling a game but I am very happy with the result.

So, if you want to play a game where you are a swarm of insects destroying local farms while evading birds, give FIELD TRIP a go!
