Ok well the game is nearly playable but not quite there, but it's turning out nice enough that I think I am going to switch to the jam and finish it tomorrow.
I promised myself I wouldn't but I think secretly I knew it was inevitable once the theme was announced.
Finished with an solid foundation after some smaller pivots in the gameplay. Not much extra gameplay features as hoped. Small bugs in the enemy summoner AI remain but that is to be expected ;)

Made on Godot 4.2 Art on Aseperite music on beepbox soundfx on https://jfxr.frozenfractal.com/
I made a game that's like a traditional anime goblin hunting with magic thing, but you can only summon canoes... what did I even make here? Like what was going through my head? It's funny to me, yeah, but like... what?
== Description ==
Summon an elder god and other creatures in this deck building / push your luck game.
Have fun and stay sane!

Finally, after 30+- hours of development and testing, I am happy to announce that the game is ready! Inspired by Balatro and Luck be a Landlord I decided to play up on words the SUMM-ON-ing theme and make game about Summing Summoned Some-thing.
Although I didn't have time to realise everything I had in mind, but nevertheless, the game has become a real prototype that can be considered playable.
I hope that the game will be enjoyed by everyone who decides to give it a try. Of course, I'd be happy to get any feedback to improve the game in future updates if you like the idea.
The build probably has bugs and glitches. You've been warned! I'm kidding. Enjoy the game

This is my 16th Ludum Dare compo in a row. After the last one when I almost didn't finish, I wanted to make something I could compare with my early entries and see what I have learned. And guys, I think this is it! Enjoy!
...oh no.
Congrats to the compo participants who have already finished their game, and good luck to everyone still chugging along!! I'm not confident I'll have anything playable within in the next day, but I did make a little progress on (very rudimentary) background music, a few images and the GUI. Let's see how far I can get tomorrow!
We present to you the premiere boy band that will rock (pun intended) the international scene: The Backstreet Boulders
The enemies in our Narrative RPG got bored of all this development thingy. So they decided to take it upon themselves to entertain y'all. And that's how Backstreet Boulders took shape. That and a bit of help from our Tech Artist, Connie McGinnis 😌
MJ Rock is ready to moonwalk. Johnny Phillips doing magic with his hips. Willem Berk will mesmerize you with his twerk.
Together they'll storm all the billboards and assert dominance over the music industry. Or just crumble (very intended pun) before they reach any success.
More updates on their journey to the big screens coming soon.
We're DONE! We have successfully created ~~Temu Potioncraft~~ Kitty Conjurer.
In it, you combine fantastic ingredients to summon the kitty requested by our single NPC! But don't let your path collide with the enemy mushrooms.
It's our second entry to Ludum Dare, so feedback and rating is super appreciated!
You can play it here!

Wasn't really planning on joining this time as the theme left me quite clueless.
But around 5.30pm today I had an idea and have been building almost straight for the last 10 hours. Would have loved to have some more time to work on the visuals but still quite content with how it turned out, given the short time frame. Good luck to to everyone still building, I'm looking forward to try out all your games tomorrow! Now sleep!

I think I got everything uploaded right...
Though I did have to skip adding sound...
Either way, good luck everyone!
As always, I bit off a bit more than I can chew and so am not entirely happy with how it turned out. But despite that, it's arguably a lot more of a game than my previous entries.
It's a 2 player turn based tactics game where you get new units by summoning them. The big gaps are there's no AI mode, hotseat only, and the balance is not so great as it lets you pump out too many units. But hey, it works and is a functional game, despite the time limits, so I'm happy to have done it and I feel like I'm in a good place for the next jam.
(Oh also, there's no sound, again. Time limits and all that)
I decided to learn Godot this time as previous jams I had used much more barebone toolkits like Amethyst and Pygame. On the one hand, I lost a lot of time to my own lack of understanding of Godot (3-4 hours easily), but on the other, that should leave me much better prepared for the next jam now I've got over that.
For a specific definition of "complete". It's unbalanced. It's unoptimized as hell. But it is! :D
I'll probably have to do some optimization in case people have problems with running it in the browser, but that can wait. It's 03:00, it's time to rest. :)
Try out Shadow Summoner here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/shadow-summoner
I'm proud of this game!
You're a clever homeowner trying to entice (aka summon) a raccoon out of your house. Make your plan by placing your treats and then see what the raccoon does next. Make sure you don't waste your treats.
