This is the first time I will participate in a game jam, and I am a bit nervous, I will use unity game engine. Hope this challenge goes well!

This time I will try to scope as small as possible and also focus on getting the game working with shapes before I try any attempts at some proper art. Wish me luck!!

I honestly don't know what I was thinking. Sounds easy enough. One game in two (ish?) days. But when the team grows up to 7 people, it's getting kinda scary)))

Super excited and a bit anxious to do this. Hopefully we will get to make the game within the time frame. Hoping to get strange machines as the theme!

Here we are, ready for a new chill compo. This time, I might go for Pixi.js, as I'm more familiar with it, or I might end up using BITSY to create something narrative and personal. We'll see

Game ideas are hard. Good game ideas are even harder. Thankfully, absolutely steaming hot garbage ideas are pretty easy. So, as is tradition on LDJam Eve, I shall do my best to provide you with only the finest absolutely idiotic and worthless ideas that I can.

Please... enjoy. But not too much you saucy devils!

Summoning - Numbers. All you can see are numbers. But... can you add them? Welcome to..... the SUMmoning.

It spreads - A game about bedspreads. Specifically, bedspreads with large prints of Pennywise the Clown. Oh, you want me to give you game mechanics too? What do I look like? Some kind of dumb game idea guy?! Sheesh.

Recycle - First, you cycled never. Then you cycled once. In this game, you answer the question on every ones lips. Can you cycle once more? That's right. It's time to ReCycle. ~epic thunderous Hans Zimmer audio sting~

Tunnels - No one likes to spill things. You go to pour water into a bottle and half of it runs down the sides. It's just the worst. So, here's a game about the greatest tool ever invented. You can choose from any of thousands of liquids with full physically modelled fluid dynamics and any of millions (yes, MILLIONS!) of meticulously modelled jars, bottles and containers. And then you get to use... your FUNNEL! Ah... shit. It starts with a T doesn't it. My bad.

Strange machines - A little spinning gearwheel that offers to sell you a pound of cheddar cheese. A 1950s toaster made entirely of wet sand. Two angry yellow electric coffee grinders who constantly vomit crayons and smell like old socks. All these and more can be brutally and viscerally murdered in this non-stop action packed first person shooter! Kill them. Kill them all!

Single use - A game about taking your single friend out as a third wheel during date night because they have a car and can drive you around. Chaufeur? That's single use number one. Get them to pay for movie tickets because you forgot your wallet? That's single use number two! How many different ways can you use your single? Wait... is this unethical?

Strength in numbers - You play as the puny number 1. A skinny stick of a number. How can you ever compete with the bulging physique of the number 8? You can't compare to the chiselled body of number 4. But then, a dodgy digit outside the gym offers you some suspicious stuff that he claims will ADD mass and make you stronger. Are you willing to do what it takes to unleash the strength in numbers? (Whew... what a stinker!)

Fishing - You heard about the new craze all the cool cats are doing? It involves cosplaying as Phil Fish and making wishes. They call it "fishing". Should probably make a game about it. Maybe use some arty-fish-al intelligence.

Push your luck - A game about sneaking up on leprechauns that are standing on the edges of cliffs. Well, you can guess the rest. Poor l'il guys.

Digging - Have you heard about the new craze all the cool cats are doing? It involves cosplaying as Cedric Diggory and playing music gigs. They call it "digging". Sounds absolutely wild. Should probably make a game about it. Ya dig?

Cartography - A real-time exploration simulator set in the 1400s where you circumnavigate the globe and plot the coastlines of various places. A single game takes over 18 months and for most of it, you're just bobbing around in the middle of an empty ocean. You do get to use a sextant, though. But only twice a day.

Pick your poison - You are just one man. One man with an unnatural love affair with a crescent-shaped digging tool. How many friendships have you destroyed to avoid discovery? How many jobs have you quit to hide your shame? Can you forever hide it from the world or will your secret be your undoing? This is: "Pick. Your poison." A visual novel.

Decay - Decay. Deee-caayy. Deee. K? D.K. Donkey Kong. The game idea is Donkey Kong.

Collapse - A game about running laps with a partner. Just two dudes running laps. You call them co-laps.

Mutation - What do you call a train station for cows? Huh? Oh, it's not pronounced 'moo-tation'? Well... so much for that idea, I guess.

You don't play as the main character - I don't? Geez. Way to be a debbie-downer. You sound just like my parents.

That last one cut a bit too deep. You know what, screw this stupid game suggestion stuff. I'm going to the pub.

Depending on the theme / how fit i am and how much time my partner have we're in! Hope for the best :D

Our team decided to try participating in a game jam for the first time. At the same time, we also combine it with regular work. I feel like there will be a catastrophic lack of time. Wish us luck!

Last time we (two programmers and an artist, by no means professional game devs) wasted a day trying and failing to make the best version of our game, but on the second day we scaled it back and started making progress. With two hours till the deadline we were frantically making the game playable, we didn't have a background, and it had yet to dawn on us that "LD54" maybe wasn't the best name for our game, but we managed to 'finish' it just before the deadline with next to no playtesting.

It was fun, I'm proud of how we did, and we learned a lot (I hope), so I'm looking forward to doing it again! We'll again be making a 2d game using Godot and letting the theme guide the rest of our decisions.

I used godot for the first time on LD54 and it was a challenge to switch engine for a jam but I falled in love !

So this time will be again with Godot !

Never done a jam before, but I'm excited to try it! Solo game dev here. This'll be my first finished project in Godot, so I'm gonna do my best to keep the concept simple and the scope tight. I think I'll stream my work as well. Good luck to everyone!

I'm going to try really hard to finish this time. I've only managed it once before and I've just failed twice in the last few weeks to submit anything to Pyweek and Pygame Community Spring Jam :sweat: I think the trick is to keep it simple!

this is my first time participating in ludum dare i joined it because i saw a video from polymars im gonna use godot for my first time im not really good at making games in unity im gonna use godot its more easier

Let's try to get creative again. And this time try to finish it!

It's been so many years since I joined one of these, but I've been practicing my GML skills and I'm ready to make something fun! LFG!!!

My team and I are taking part in a game jam for the first time. We will try! Good luck to all!

We still haven't decided on the final composition of the team, but we're in!

Shalom! Any game developers from Israel around here? Hmi! Just for chatting)

Never have been in Jam before, I have no idea what I'm doing, it's my first day.
