Ludum Dare 56 October 4–7, 2024

Behind the Buggie

  • Buggie made for a fun challenge this LD, as it's my 2nd time working with Godot as a 3D artist.

The addition of .FBX made it much easier to test files as a Maya artist. I've never been a fan of the .GLTF implementations outside of Blender, and that's been a major setback for Godot, if you have any tips let me know.

Trying to keep a spider cute and getting the model rigged and setting up the IK logic for all 8 legs in the first day made for a good challenge. I left to the dev team for implementation with the character controller (shoutout to Crigz Vs Game Dev for a great IK tutorial on YT).

Playing your Ludum Dare Entries!

Currently live at https://twitch.tv/ategondev playing games from the jam! Feel free to stop by and watch me play your game

I run a raffle system after every game for who gets played next

Anyone got a cheat sheet for ratings?

Like mapping stars to words

Fun - 1 = unplayable - 2 = frustrating - 3 = needs improvement - 4 = good - 5 = great experience

Graphics - 1 = ..

something like that.

It's hard to rate on a scale because that makes it kinda relative to the games played previously, which seems quite unfair. Also Compo and Jam should be rated differently. I'm probably overthinking this but if anyone has a cheat sheet to share, I'd appreciate that.

Do you play games that don't interest you for evaluation?

I wonder how others rate their work here. Namely: can you play genres of games that you absolutely do not like? I personally faced the problem that when I see wonderful graphics and want to play, but then I see that this is a horror game, it's hard for me to evaluate it properly - I'm just afraid to play it. But I can't leave without a rating either :(

There are those who face a similar problem?

I'm the 3d modeler

Hi, I'm the 3d modeler of our team. Our game https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/56/its-a-bees-world is 100% personally sculpted and animated by me from scratch in blender. Here's the bee roster behind the scenes Screenshot 2024-10-08 213451.png Screenshot 2024-10-08 213553.png Screenshot 2024-10-08 213740.png

While I modeled and animated for this game, I'm not really much of a game designer. My primary hobby is 3d printing cute figures and you can find me at https://www.youtube.com/@JustCuteSculptures if you want to see what I do

Maybe I'll 3d print this queen... Screenshot 2024-10-08 213945.png

Some seriously awesome games this year!

My team who worked on critter gang has been reviewing as many games as possible and it has been so much fun to share some of the awesome experiences with each other in our discord and the comments of the games we have played! This is our first time doing the Ludum Dare jam and we will certainly be back after seeing how awesome this community is! Be sure to pop over and give our game a try and also drop the title of the game you made in the comments, thanks everyone!

Interesting expirience!

Like many, my teammate and I took part in Ludum Dare for the first time. It was hard, a lot of things didn’t work out, but I’m happy with the result. There are also many wonderful projects that I tried to evaluate. I certainly enjoyed participating and sharing feedback. Thanks to everyone who appreciated my game and everyone who worked on their projects, you did great! Our game :) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/56/in-the-depths Безымянный(2).png 66f50.png
