Temporary Name Team. Hey boy, hey girl, here we go

Thinking globally, acting locally.

Is the space of thought a limitation or a path to freedom? Using a simple example, let's show how your fears, desires, or lack thereof, add press. Restricted space! Only with music of course).

Idea: 4 parts in a looped story of overthinking. 1 part. face, eat, sex 2 part. think-ba-dum-tsss 3 part. life abs 4 part. smack back to life

Sharing the concept in b&w. It turns out delicious!

Coming along nicely

This is about 90% of the gameplay, so I think most of the day is going to be spent adding in the potential passengers and then implementing the mechanic for choosing which ones will board. Famous last words, but I can see this getting done comfortably within the Compo window.

Making something tiny!

Found some time this weekend so I'll try to put something together. Good luck everyone! 9571d54d-805e-4e4b-8b2e-9c0f5b50029c.jpg

Does AI generated voice disqualify from audio ratings?

Our game will have a story & dialogue that unravels during gameplay, and it would be best if the player didn't have to stop and read text, but instead listen to it as they are playing along. Our own voices might not be enough. What do you think, do we still deserve to be rated in audio if we use AI? We have our own music and will try to create our own sound effects too.

oooof

theme is so bad. still no ideas. waaaaaaaaaay too broad of a theme

progress

So far I have something...

This is last nights progress but I was too tired to post anything. I have this interesting effect now what to do with it?

Need some different effects and a couple of players I guess its a start

Sooo Question about audio

If i own a audio pack like gun shot sounds effect and i use it. Do i opt out for audio. I dont really have a revolver and m14 laying around to clip some effects.

Game concept

Finally I came up with an interesting game idea, we play as a warrior and have a limited space in our inventory and we must decide which things we will take and which ones we will leave on the battlefield. concept.png

That's it...

So I've been working on this idea for 4 hours... But now I feel like its absolute trash.... I'm doomed...

Seakelp is heavy

If you collect enough seakelp, it fuses into a sticky ball which makes you move slower and jump lower. You can throw the seakelp ball for better platforming, to collect more seakelp, and possibly to non-lethally bonk creatures to stun them.

Ideation in a limited space

Top story today - local game dev team takes 2hrs 46min of thinking to get to a game idea!
You won't believe how it speed past at 60x speed!
Will they be able to turn it into a game? Check back later to find out.

I never accepted that food was no more noted during LudumDare ^^.

A different jam

Hi, guys! We partecipated in the jam many times, but this year is different. As for personal reasons, many members of our team cannot partecipate in the jam this year, so we're remaking our LD46 entry, Chaincards, in Unreal Engine, just to learn using the engine, after Unity's price change. We're going to opt out on theme, graphics (still, we're remaking the OST) but still partecipating in the jam, just with a different mood, this time

Question about AI image generators

If I use AI image generation for some of my game’s graphics for a Jam submission, do I opt out of the graphics category even if all of the graphics were generated within the 72 hours of the Jam?

Would appreciate some help understanding the rules in this area!

I made a little town for my game

Got a prototype town set up. It's still missing some stuff (some buildings, building variation, foliage, roads, etc.)

Decided pretty early on that this game was gonna be too ambitious for the compo, so jam it is.
