Harold's Furry Hazelnut Scurry, a game about a Hamster and a lot of hazelnuts is now playable!

(well, that title is a mouth full, even without nuts in it :hamster:)

My game is out!

Hello! I have been very bad at showing my progress, mainly because i just had a couple of hours to work on it, but i made a jam game and it is now completed.

A game filled with elderly care and a whole lot of cookies :cookie: (and vomit) :nauseated_face:, im impressed to even get something out after this weekend where i was busy with other things!

I hope you made an awesome game that i will enjoy playing and if not, better luck next time! :heart:

Inspiration comes from strange places

We're polishing up our game, about little woodland museum thieves. Definitely going to be an all nighter to get this one done with all the polish we're hoping for, but it's coming along!

Seeking help - how do I rate games?

I can leave comments and I've successfully posted my own game, but I can't figure out how to rate other peoples'. I don't see a button or link anywhere.

Getting there!

We've made good progress today! Hopefully tomorrow after work will be enough to finish up what we've started!🙏🏻

Excited to see what you've all been cooking up!🤩

Question about asset reuse for game options?

TLDR: Can we reuse icons if they are for accessibility or branding consistency? Or would it be better to make from scratch to keep to the spirit of the LD jam?

We make our games for an arcade we host at https://moonbowentertainment.itch.io/ One of the icons we use is a "mute" option button, with on and off state. In our other games we have just copied the same buttons from game to game to keep the options as consistent as possible.

However, we DO want to enter LD's graphics category with our jam entry from this time.

Should our artist have to spend the extra time drawing the sound button again from scratch?

First timer, had a blast in the Compo!

The only problem is all the ideas I didn't have time for! I can't wait to keep running with the prototype I built this weekend. It's a dash of ZachTronics puzzle game, a dose of sandbox game, and maybe even a little something secret. Without further ado, Sigiled Throne:

Game done! Sometimes it works ...

That's it! Submitted and shattered. Although the final game seems to bug out occasionally when shooting so I need to fix that in the morning.

My entry is here! Hope you all had a great compo. Good luck to those still jamming.

Enjoy!!

My compo submission!

Hey peeps! This was the first time I took part in Compo, and it was... actually surprisingly breezy? I'm so used to just blowing scopes out of proportion that it was kind of relaxing to just make a simple game and focus more on the music and the art.

Do you wanna sleep ?

My game "Do you wanna sleep ?" is finally in :) And YES I REALLY want to Sleep

Gave up on my other Game after 2 days Working on it...

If you remember me, I was working on a badass 3D Caveman (woman) game using my own Engine...

But that was because I was ready to say goodbye to the theme.

But now I'm back to the Jam Theme!

It will be a bad game, for sure, but I'm trying to keep it under 16KB... or 32 KB, we'll see how it goes!

At the moment, art and rendering code is complete and it's only 11,6 KB.

Too bad it's too late for the Compo... Because this would be a perfect game for it!

Done! It's been a while.

My LD54 compo entry Tunnel Chase is finished!

It's been years since I've last participated and I definitely missed it. I took it a bit easier this time and kept the game very simple but I think it turned out pretty fun. I decided to use this as an opportunity to learn Godot and test it's capabilities. I was surprised by how easy the engine was to learn and how quick it was to prototype with.

First time compo, first time godot, fist time game development

Hi, this was my first Ludum Dare and my first experience with game development. It was realy much fun to learn godot and to develop my game. I hope you had as much and I'm looking forward to see all your games.

The Carver

My game is finally finished. It's my first time at Ludum Dare (I only participated in Brackey's Jam before). It was especially a challenge for me, because I knew I would be busy on Sunday. So I actually had only 24 hours to make the game. And I'm very happy with the result! It's also probably my last project in Unity and I'm planning on swithing to Godot now.

Enjoy!

Much thanks to Unity for giving me the final push needed to leave their sorry ass and start learning rust!

I will start rating after a short break, but right now I need sooommmm rest

Strange things

Why can't I evaluate the work of other developers?

Almost

here's a work in progress of the Jam game while I'm still working on levels.

Play Purrimeter

I missed the deadline for Compo, so this is my first Jam entry .

Draw grids to make a walkable area for the cat. Pickups will shrink/grow the size of the grid you can place.

And... done!

It's 3AM here and managed to wrap up my game. It's a cozy puzzle game about combining vegetables; feel free to check it out :wink:

I do still want to add more levels but considering that I have work tomorrow (today) it might not be feasible. Still, I hope anyone who plays the game will enjoy it.
