Theme Suggestions

themes.png

I tried to suggest themes that have both direction and flexibility. Even building can be interpreted different ways (like building a community).

I'm back again!

Things lined up for me to participate this event! I'm gonna try to use my WIP software renderer Aftershock to make a game, and try to help it mature by building something playable with it. Here's my theme suggestions:) Good luck everyone!

My Themes

I know this will likely get lost in the spam posts, but here are my three themes. I have a lot going on right now so I might end up doing a text based game so I do not have to scrabble to design scenes and find the right music.

A couple free Unity tools for anyone interested

I have a couple Unity assets I created to make jamming easier on myself. A base project and a simple pause/quit asset.

PAUSE AND QUIT

https://shaolindave.itch.io/pause-and-quit-with-esc One thing I've noticed is that people run out of time making their actual game, and they wind up missing simple quality-of-life stuff, like a simple way to exit the game. This asset can pretty much be dropped into an existing Unity game. Once imported, the ESC and tilde buttons will pause the game. Holding them down will exit the game. It's that simple. If for some reason you want a certain scene to be unpausible (ie the title screen or a cutscene) there's a script you can attach to any gameobject within that screen to prevent pausing. There's two version of this asset, one for the legacy input system and one for the new input system.

BASE PROJECT

https://shaolindave.itch.io/baseproject This one is a bit more advanced. It's a base project that can cut the first few hours off of your development time so you can concentrate on your actual game. - It also includes pause/quit functionality (though only with the legacy system, I need to update this) - It contains a title screen with placeholders - An options menu, pre-populated with volume settings - A playerprefs manager, pre-setup to save those volume settings - A pre-configured audio manager - A singleton manager with auto-loading on project start - A event/delegates manager, with a sample subtitle event - A how-to-play menu where you can put gameplay instructions - A credits menu where you can list your developers and tools. There's also a customizable links panel for things like Ludum Dare, Itch.io, Email. You could add in your personal website, twitter, newgrounds, whatever you want. - A quit button

I hope to update the Base Project before the jam, to at very least put in support for the new input system for pause/quit/menu navigation.

This is of course, free. Feedback and suggestions are appreciated.

AI technology - ethical/allowed?

Hi guy, This topic has most likely been already discussed so please feel free to tell me and I can delete this.

Anyway, I feel like this particular LD will be a lot different since there is a chance that people might be using AI for art and coding too.

So I wonder what is your opinion on this. I assume it is probably a rule too, but there is no way you can prove or disprove you used AI or not, so at the end it is really just about people being honest with themselves.

BIG DISCLAIMER: I'm not asking because I want to use it, I'm asking because I've seen more and more games being done by AI and it feels like the progress simply goes that direction. As for me, personally, I think "cheating" on LD event is like cheating while trying to speedrun a movie. There is no one to cheat, only your own enjoyment. So I am against using AI.

Eco-Friendly Packaging Boxes: The Future of Sustainable Packaging

What are Eco-Friendly Packaging Boxes?

Eco-friendly packaging boxes are made from materials that are renewable and sustainable. These materials include recycled paper, bamboo, sugarcane, and other plant-based materials that are biodegradable and compostable.

Unlike traditional packaging materials, such as plastic and Styrofoam, which take hundreds of years to decompose, eco-friendly packaging boxes can be broken down naturally within a matter of weeks or months.

https://m.kaskus.co.id/thread/6438fe99fe08c24613382a92/2023-vmware-5v0-2221-dumps--high-demanded-exam-certification?ref=threadlist-464&med=thread_list

Benefits of Eco-Friendly Packaging Boxes

Reduced carbon footprint: Eco-friendly packaging boxes have a lower carbon footprint than traditional packaging materials. The production process for eco-friendly packaging requires less energy and emits fewer greenhouse gases than the production of plastic or Styrofoam.

Sustainable materials: Eco-friendly packaging boxes are made from renewable and sustainable materials that are biodegradable and compostable. This means they can be reused or recycled, minimizing waste and reducing the amount of non-biodegradable materials that end up in landfills.

Customer appeal: Consumers are increasingly demanding sustainable products and packaging. By using eco-friendly packaging boxes, businesses can attract eco-conscious consumers and differentiate themselves from competitors who use traditional packaging materials.

Cost-effective: While eco-friendly packaging boxes may have a higher initial cost than traditional packaging materials, businesses can save money in the long run by reducing their carbon footprint and minimizing waste.

My Theme Suggestions

As I've already done my obligatory 'I'm In' post, but as the hype is only increasing, I'd thought I'd to post my theme suggestions. Although this is like my 16th LD and I've read many posts over the years about 'good themes' and 'bad themes', I can't honestly say I know what makes a theme good or not (tbh we almost always end up with winning themes that I don't like).

Here they are:

Hi & themes

Hi all, next (aka coming) Jam I will be asisting wouter52 besides being sweet 😆 Not the actual programming however, all that will be his. My part will be very small as I take a looksie around besides helping out with feedback on other games. Something I found very enjoyable the past times!

Keto Plus - Keto Plus Recensioner, KetoPlus Pris! Keto Plus Köp

Utanför fysiska hälsoförändringar kan en av de största problemen med den ketogena dieten vara långvarig efterlevnad. Efterlevnad är en utmaning eftersom den är så restriktiv”, förklarar Mohr Du har säkert hört talas om farorna med ketos med diabetes. Fortsätt läsa för att lära dig mer om typerna av ketos och keto-dieten. När kroppens glukosnivå sänks på grund av kostens låga kolhydratinnehåll, agerar kroppen som om den är i ett svälttillstånd – även om det inte är det – och börjar bränna fett istället för kolhydrater. Jag känner mig mätt under långa perioder och äter vanligtvis bara två måltider om dagen. Folk blir chockade när de ser mig hälla olivolja över min fisk eller sallad. När en ketogen diet följs kommer ketonkropparna att öka avsevärt. Ketosis är kompatibel med ett brett utbud av proteinintag så länge kolhydratintaget är lågt, men de mest ketogena dieterna kommer att vara de som har låga både kolhydrater och protein.

Does LD53 start at 9pm EST?

LD 52 started at 3pm, some of the previous ones started at 6pm. This time around the website says it starts on Friday at 9pm. Is this right?

How To Watch Joe Joyce vs. Zhilei Zhang Live Free Tv Broadcast

How to watch Joe Joyce vs. Zhilei Zhang : Live stream and TV channel for boxing tonight. Joe Joyce and Zhilei Zhang meet tonight in a return to heavyweight boxing action in London.

===========================================

For the first time since his systematic destruction of Joseph Parker in September, the 37-year-old is back as he looks to keep his momentum riding high ahead of what he hopes will be a future challenge against the likes of Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk.

The heavyweight division has attracted all sorts of negative attention in the last few months due to a chronic logjam and while not the glamour fight that many would have wanted, Chinese southpaw Zhang does provide some stern competition for Joyce.

A vastly experienced campaigner with similarly impressive Olympic pedigree, the sheer size of both men makes this a fascinating affair. Someone is likely to be knocked out in explosive fashion.

Here’s everything you need to know about where to watch the fight live from the Copper Box Arena.
