During the development of STUPID LEGS for the Compo I stumbled upon A LOT of physics problems, funny bugs, and weird interactions, so I captured some of them just in case :)

Multiple rigidbodies are no joke!

"Have you by any chance seen my eye here?"

When the monster part attaching mechanics are still Work-in-Progress

I managed to tame Unity physics, but it wasn't easy: a lot of features worked not as I wanted it to work, so I had to use a lot of workarounds and questionable solutions. Although I'm still glad with the result (even the Compo version).

If you wanna try short (5-10 minutes) fun and funny game about summoning custom monsters, try STUPID LEGS. There are 2 versions available: compo, (made in 48 hours) and post-compo (more polished, more content, intro and tutorial added, sounds added).

Hey everyone! This is the intermission video that will be played in the breaks of the Ludum Dare Score Chasers tournament. It includes gameplay from 52 different games submitted to Ludum Dare 55, 4 songs from games in the jam and 1 extra song made by me.

Try to see how many games you recognize! These are not games that will be played in the tournament (only 5 games will - schedule here)

If youre interested in joining or watching the tournament when it happens feel free to join our discord! https://discord.com/invite/FhP4jaZ7KS . Its taking place Saturday at 4pm UTC on https://www.twitch.tv/ategondev

I've ported my game, Fire Quota to Godot 4 and my experimental HDR10 branch.

In theory, if you have a HDR10-capable Windows system with a HDR10-capable display you should see additional brightness and contrast with this version. The HDR is calibrated for a 1000-nit display.

Note that since this isn't really a "port" in the strictest sense, you should probably use one of the other versions for actual judging. Also, since this is a recompiled version of Godot, Windows Smartscreen may not like it.

If you have a HDR10 capable display and system, you can try this version here. Make sure you activate HDR10 mode before launching it by pressing Win+Alt+B.

Hey hey, come show me your games! Send your game link in twitch chat (not LD comments), I expect it'll be fairly quiet so I'll probably be able to play right away! I look forward to playing more awesome games :heart:

Added some new levels and 2 new power ups to release a post jam version of my game:

1. Rune: summon an ancient creature which will take down an enemy for you:

2. Laser: shot a short but powerful pulse which will destroy everything on its way:

seems i'll go to internet cafe ...maybe pay for a night. my videogame is unfinished... but the point was participating in a jam :v:

For our mixed narrative / puzzle game https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/spiritweaver our graphist did an amazing job. Here's the spirits spritesheet, which one do you prefer?

And as a bonus same question for the characters:

Hey all! I finally posted the timelapse for Clone Stacking with the full intro music I remade:

I remember it was a common practice to record these type of videos in previous Ludum Dares, but barely have seen it lately. :)

Of course, if you haven't rated Clone Stacking, please do:

TANKZ is our small Thronefall-inspired game where you control a small tank, summon buildings and defend your base.

Thank you so much to everyone who has rated and played so far! We love all the feedback and comments, and we've adjusted the game based on your feedback here, and are excited about this latest version.

A repeated request from the original entry was to remove sprint, since it had no drawbacks; so we turned "sprint" into dash. This also makes it easier to survive and move your tank away from incoming enemy fire.

Here's some highlights of changes made to the post-jam update:

| Lazer-sight & Manual Shooting | More Tank Upgrades | Minimap | | -------- | ------- | ------- | | | | |

• added 2 new enemy types (short ranged + missiles) :rocket: :boom:
• made the beach even beachier with palm trees :beach: :palm_tree:

The changes we've made to the game change up the gameplay to be even more fast-paced action, so we're excited to hear what you think!

If you haven't played it yet, give it a go here!

:joystick: Play TANKZ here!

*The Jam submission is of course still available too, so if you check out this new version, don't forget to try out the first submission and rate us :blue_heart: ! *

Hey everybody! I uploaded a browser version for my game on itch finally, for all of you who were unhappy with the previous download-only

https://ldj.am/$384624

Also: There's finally a cover image :D (which is also now the new title image, so a non-bugfixing post-compo change I have to mention)

So in case you haven't had enough of those "sum"-pun entries yet and a few minutes to spare, I would be happy to get the last votes and read about how you enjoyed it :) (or didn't enjoy ^^)

And now please excuse me, I also still have some games to try out and vote on...

:joystick: Play it here! :star: Rate it here!

Hey friends! Just made a video talking about my Ludum Dare experience this year and my appreciation for everyone that makes something. Your all awesome! Check it out if your interrested: https://youtu.be/TbHGjM8rPso

Our LD55 game Tristram got covered by Nic Reuben from Rock Paper Shotgun. 🤯 And the article is really funny too! https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/stay-awhile-and-play-this-free-diablo-inspired-indie-as-the-mayor-of-tristram

Summoner's Chess is a weird mix of chess + checkers + killing enemy pieces to summon your own.

Thanks to everyone for their awesome feedback so far! I've been busy working on a post-jam version and wanted to preview some of the ongoing work:

✨ Visual Revamp

I'm still fairly new to game dev, so making things looks nice is pretty tricky - especially in only 48 hours. Improvements were also needed to make the summoning button much more obvious.

| Before | After | | ------ | ----- | | | |

♟️ Upgrading Pieces

When pawns in chess and men in checkers reach the end of the board, they upgrade to stronger pieces. Previously I was able to include the automatic upgrades for checkers men, but wasn't able to finish it for the pawns - this is now possible!

🎥 Camera Views

By default, I included a fixed persons-eye-view of the board, which can now be rotated. I've also added a new top-down view - it's essentially Civ V's "Strategic View".

🛠️ Custom Matches

The compo submission includes 10 progressively more difficult levels, but I kept finding myself wanting to create more and more more wackier custom layouts. So the post-jam version will include a 'Custom Match' mode for creating any layout you want. This is currently on-going work, but going well so far.

The post-jam version will be available on itch after LD55 ends - so go follow me there if you're interested. Thanks!

Protest Forest got a new update, where you can get infinite mana reward and spam the road with animals:
