Ludum Dare 53 April 29–May 2, 2023

Last day to rate games!!

Hey!!

Today is the last day to rate games!!

I am very proud of the work that I was able to do after years without participating in Ludum Dare. Maybe it's not my best game, but I think I've improved some skills since my first LD games.

I hope to participate again in the future!

Dear mother

I write to you in this letter as the bitter taste of war finally fades in the air. The trenches are silent, and the cannons have ceased their roaring. My heart beats with joy and eagerness to return home. I long for the taste of your homemade food and your comforting hugs. Oh, how I miss the company of the family and even Thunder our faithful dog. In just a few hours, the war will come to an end, but I am aware that new battles await us on the horizon. I remain prepared, even after so much hard work.

With love and hope

I'm making a quick post to ask for some help passing the 20 rating finish line (currently at 17). I'll be sure to rate back and provide feedback for anyone who rates our game!

I finished the game yesterday

I Finished yesterday + Finding an art style.

I finished the game yesterday and I'm glad I had time to get some feedbacks. First time I did the extra category, it was chiller than usual to have time to polish. Thank you for your feedbacks !!

My focus on this one was about graphics and finding a simple idea I could polish. For the last game jams I did, I chose voxel art to make assets quickly. I had spent two years learning the voxel art craft, I was satisfied with the results but I don't know, at some point, it felt like I wouldn't be able to go further in the things I want to represent. It's hard to be original and innovative with voxel art and the grid, especially with characters. I don't know how you feel about this. I know the art style should match the gameplay but as a solo developer, you also need to find a style that you can produce consistently and it's not easy, it's also about knowing your limits and what you can do, like an inner quest, probably the thing that keeps me interested.

Finding an art style and improving is one of my main struggle with developing game in solo but I keep trying to draw regularly so here's an attempt at a style I'm working once since 2-3 years with simple lineart and shapes. I would be glad to have more feedbacks on my game.

The Ludum Dare is very special and I'm glad I'm a part of this community, can't wait to play your games !

Check my game out and rate it if you like it (or don't). It's about a stork with akimbo pistols shooting his way through rooms of criminals as he tries to deliver the president's baby.

Try out all the guns in Developer Mode

Mission Delete currently features 24 different guns with varying fire rates, bullet spacing, projectile behavior, and attack angle. During gameplay, press "9" on the Numpad to enter Developer Mode and try all the guns freely.

Looking for Leaderboard contenders!

Adding a leaderboard to your games is great because it really lets you see how many people are playing and how they're doing -- plus a little friendly competition is always fun. I used a service called Dreamlo.
