Ludum Dare 54 September 29–October 2, 2023

Well Rested After My First Stressful Game Jam

My first Ludum Dare and Game Jam is complete! It was a crazy experience to say the least, but I'm super happy with the final result! Like everyone, there are plenty of small fixes I would've love to have made, but for my first Jam, I'm super proud of myself!

Now that I've got some much needed sleep, I'm keen to see what awesome games everyone else has made during the Jam!

And if you want to try my game Mini Architect, you can check it out here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/mini-architect

Feng Shui Struggles: my first Compo game!

Also my first track that made past drafts and into the public.

Also first time I tried to incorporate my personal feelings and experience in a game (struggles of moving furniture in small apartments).

Also first time I made some gameplay-based jokes :)

I love gamejams for experiments like these!

Woke up to good news and bad news

The good news is, my game made the frontpage of Newgrounds (again)!

The bad news is, people found a game-breaking issue. Fortunately, it was right at the end of the game and was easy enough to fix thanks to the error reports I was sent.

As ever, I have left the upload to the PICO-8 website untouched, so if you want to play the game in its original slightly-broken state, you can do so. Now that the game is stable, there won't be any more updates.

I cant rate any games for some reason?

I was really excited too play and rate some games today but the rating options seem too be gone for me? Is anyone else experiencing this? Have they moved the rating somewhere else or will it only activate after the jam ends? I am really confused

How to rate?

Maybe I am just blind but I can't find the place to rate games that have been submitted. Where is it supposed to be?

Which also leads to being unable to get any karma and maybe losing track of a game I already played xD

Makes it a bit baffling since I see some submissions have karma already so it worked at some point but it broke?

It is control weird?

they told me that the controls are difficult, but it doesn't seem like it to me, what do you think?

Remember JezzBall?

This is Jezzball, old windows game with a "Limiting Space" mechanic. jezzball.png image from wikipedia - Link

Played this one a lot as a child, and later when I got into game dev I sometimes wondered how hard it would be to implement something similar.

And now I know: and a video_small.gif

Turns out, pretty hard for me, took the complete 2 days on basically full coding mode.

Here is the link if you want to try it our: Canals

Finally finished!

Just finished my game!

I feel like the fun factor of my game this time around is not as good as I would have hoped, but it was a good refresher on making such a project after not participating in any game jam in a while.

I made my latest game in MonoGame, which is quite a pain to work with for how it requires a lot of work to achieve the simplest of things, but I'm at least glad I got something done within the allotted time. I spent too much time on debugging that I wish I had more time to work on the music and more game features, but all in all, I'm proud I got something done.

Can't wait to try out all your games.

Here we go again

Yet another year where I pretend like I know what I'm doing. Thanks @human-writes-code and @tegantiu <3 Excited for you guys to see what we have put together. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/going-up

I DO?

Organising a wedding is hard! Alcoholic uncle, toxic ex and many more crazy guests in a limited space. Good luck! Last Day Super Focus mode on, hope everyone is doing good.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to everyone completed the Compo and who are currently working on their Jam game! Especially you!

Whether it was your first released game or your tenth completed game jam, take a moment to be proud of what you've accomplished. And please leave a comment linking to your game so I can give it a try!

Little bug fixes

Good post-jam morning! I've fixed a bug in my game and finally researched Unity WebGL build settings, so for the first time a game I made for a jam looks decent...

Only 11 hours left!

Last day of working on the game, most art is done, and I added a mini-game where you can combine a poem from the offered lines ~ With 4 lines and 4 options for each, there are 256 possible combinations!

Barbecue Stuffs

Any suggestions you want to eat AS BARBECUE?

And what should I call these? STUFF? MENU? INGREDIENT? OR WHAT?!
