How do you guys make online leaderboards?

I wanna try making something with a leaderboard next jam, I could probably find out how to make one on my own but if you guys have made one before and have any tips I'd like to hear them!

1 more rating and I reach my goal!

I've had a goal to get 40 ratings for ludum dare, as of writing this I have 39! If you're reading this could you please rate my game. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/pong-begrenzt

A very short HTML5 demo

Player-2.gif

This is a very short demo, just two phases that are as quick as two minutes on average. Unfortunately it doesn't have sound (just a sound effect) nor the graphics I had planned. But the concept is there, and I was pleased that I was able to come up with some kind of concrete concept in just one day. I received good feedback about the look, even though it was very basic. So I would be happy with more testing and more excited to do more post jam phases.

Ludum Dare Score Chasers 5 - Intermission Mashup

Hey everyone! This is the intermission video that will be played in the breaks of the Ludum Dare Score Chasers tournament. It includes gameplay from 44 different games submitted to Ludum Dare, 7 songs from games in Ludum Dare and 1 song from the 1-bit jam.

Candy Catcher also got back to me about being in the video but it was after the video was made so I'm shouting them out here instead.

Try to see how many games you recognize! These are not games that will be played in the tournament (only around 5-7 games will) but these games were some of the games that were popular with people in the tournament.

https://youtu.be/TM_eIvjBmIQ

If youre interested in joining or watching the tournament when it happens feel free to join our discord! https://discord.com/invite/FhP4jaZ7KS . Its taking place Saturday at 4pm UTC on https://www.twitch.tv/ategondev

"Boxed In" Retrospective

Overall, we're very happy with how the game turned out. It took some brainstorming to land on an idea we liked, but we ended up with a twist on a classic game.

twists.png

One of the highlights of the process was getting the CSV-based level importer working. We were able to get from a sketch to a full level very quickly.

It's also cool that people are picking up on and enjoying the hand-drawn elements. hand-drawn.png

We're working on a post-jam version that should be less clunky and will have some other improvements.

Thanks to everyone that has played and rated it so far.

Our most rated game

Thank you guys

That is the first thing we would like to say to you, because you gave us 35+ ratings and plenty of feedback in comments, which is the most we ever got on LD jam. :heart:

However, there is never enough of feedback, especially if we want to expand the idea and hopefully release a full version game in the future. :fingers_crossed:

So if you haven't played Last God's Bidding, give it a try, manage the planet and become the God with senior status! :smile:

And leave your feedback, it means a lot for us!

DevLog for my First Ludum Dare

Want to see a garbage Youtube Video about a garbage game? This was my first ever Ludum Dare challenge and I tried to document it with my first ever YouTube video! I headed on out to a cabin by the sea and far from the distractions of the bustling world, I sought solace and inspiration from the rhythmic dance of the waves. That's where I created Diminutive Dungeon Draft that currently has over 20 reviews (it's 21).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vly06ev_Ag

I absolutely loved this - thank you so so very much Ludum Dare. This was amazing.thumbnail.png

FROUST!

As the snow blankets the world outside, we're thrilled to introduce our creation - FROUST! ❄️⛄
This game, as simple as it looks, took a fair bit of work.
It's shaped with love and dedication, and we are excited to know what you think!
Happy to be a part of this LD and would like to express our deepest gratitude for all the encouragement and support you've shown us.

Thank you and stay Cool!🎮🌟

Ost from "Don't touch the pylon."

Some of you seem to have enjoyed the music, so here it is on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbsUbuznifk dontemtouch/emtheempylon/emminia.jpeg

and...

The ability to wait for and appreciate a beautiful cell is worth more than anything else in the world. Please don’t touch the pylon. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/freedoms-countdown
