If I finish I would have won!
Rookie looking forward to this but I also have two fantasy football drafts this weekend. Ouch.
Workflow
Inkscape / Maya LT : Sprites / Models
Webanimate or Maya : Animation

Caustic : Music
Unity 3d 4.6 Beta!
Not sure on the asset rules?? Ferr2D is only package I may use.
If I can’t get it done within the rules than me Jam
I’m excited for this next ludum dare, as I’ve been planning to use this as an opportunity to get REALLY familiar with Slick 2D. That said, I was going to practice some basic stuff this week, and life decided that wasn’t going to happen. Right now I’m just trying to learn some basic timekeeping coding and I hope that I can squeeze in some physics and acceleration programming, not sure though. (thankfully I’ve got tilemaps and tilemap reading down, and obviously I know how to read commands from the player.) Also exporting my game… I need to learn how to do that too… that’s important…
All that said, design wise I’ve learned a lot from last time, so hopefully I can make something that’s actually a little fun to play.
This will be my second Ludum Dare and I feel like I am much more prepared than I was last time in LD28.
I stripped my code from LD28 down to a base engine and added a few extra things (audio, crude animation support) so that I am ready to get started. You can find my basecode here: http://haveric.github.io/projects/ld30prep/
Language: I’ll be working in JavaScript + HTML + CSS
Tools:
My goal is to get at least some animation and sound into the game, whereas my last game, Gnome Hedge had neither.
Good luck and have fun!

It’s a game where you kill enemies by activating traps instead of shooting guns. You can find it here: http://games.nj-tv.net/envirohazard/
I made this out of inspiration from this post, however I went over six hours since I didn’t want to post anything until I had a way to win – by the end of the originally planned six hours I’d completed everything but the traps, but I’m glad I kept going.
Theme I picked was You Can’t Fight Back, and my best guess is 7 hours 15 minutes total, not including breaks, dinner, sleep, etc. I’d would’ve gotten it done in one day, but I procrastinated.
For those that don’t want to have to program their own sprite batcher(Or are just minimalists), here is a free to use Android(Java) Sprite Batcher coded by me. It supports GPU scaling, automatic screen space coordinate transformation, and color transformation abilities. (Sorry no rotation as of yet.) Note: There is a sample activity to demonstrate how to use the sprite batcher.

Well, after I didn’t finished the first time I took part I because I tried to include too many complex ideas will try to achieve something easier this time.
For that reason, to stop myself from including too many fancy gimmicks, I will try to use only Javascript and HTML without any additional Framework.
Hey — so to celebrate #LD30 the game I made for “You only get one” / #LD28, One Spear Arena, is now free on iOS and Android.
Watch out for news on the desktop multiplayer version in the coming weeks.
Hello everyone,
I’m from Midnight Tinkering and hope to enter the Ludum Dare Jam this weekend.
I’ll be using Unreal Engine 4 to develop my project. Here’s a gameplay video of a something small I used to help expand my familiarity with engine, where I ended up spending most time working on the AI, which was a challenge because of how dynamic the gameplay was.
The game is fun however it wasn’t the best experience I’ve had using the engine with many issues popping up which would have destroyed my chances at completing a project within the Ludum Dare Jam time period, meaning I couldn’t complete it before this weekend (I hope to finish it off afterwards), so I’m glad I went for a test run and can learn from those mistakes.
Hopefully it will go smoother during the Ludum Dare Jam though as I would love to complete an enjoyable gameplay experience for everyone to have fun with at the end of this.
I’m mostly nervous now but regardless I wish everyone the best of luck and I hope it gets to be fun for both the developers and gamers who get to share in the joys of game design and development during this time.
I’m in.
Engine/IDE:
Audio:
Visual:
I don’t even know what that light is but that is what we shall find out this weekend, together. Let’s see whose light turns out the brightest, shall we?
This is where you need to pretend to hear really resonating reverby evil laughter as if it were coming out of the walls and into your very berry soul. That’s my laughter. You better had make it good.
(In other words, I’m in. I’ll be using javascript in some form or fashion, that’s bout all I know so far in regards to tools.)
Can’t wait! Getting my new laptop ready with all my tools. Perfect timing too, I have the weekend off, most of my software just got updated (Unity 4.6 beta!), and I can feel that this one is going to be fantastic!
My Tools
Engine: Unity
Music: LMMS
Art: Aseprite, Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender
Lets get to work!
Language: Lua + Love2d
Graphics: Paint.net
Get ready!
Stole computer setup from work – check.
Comfy jammies – check.
I kind of wish LD started tonight – it’s 7pm over here in Western Australia, tonight is undisturbed, and I’m ready to get started. Guess I’ll have to wait 
On the plus side, I now have these shiny dual 27s at home so I can conveniently watch the season finale of one of my “girly shows” on a nice big screen, before the comp begins and I feel too guilty to watch anything.

We wish good time to all other teams 
Let’s make fun with final themes!

Another World – explore space to find another world that is good for living
Break The Rules – break the traffic law, while driving car
Chaos – There is a panic, and you have to find entrance without being crushed by crowd
Choose A Path – labirynt
Connected Worlds – 2 planets connected by portal, fighting with each other
Day and Night – hunt at night, and hide at day
Destroy The System – anarchists fight with police
Don’t Stop Moving – running in a ball
Do No Harm – making surgery
Fortress – defend your castle
Growing – watering flowers makes them bigger and bigger
Isolation – damage a cable isolation in building, to hit something with electricity
Lost In Space – flying with spaceship
No One Can See You – running from a building
Randomly Generated – robot fights with random generated parts
Strength In Numbers – calculator handled in doors and paths
You’re Not Supposed To Be Here – thief
You Are Already Dead – zombie apocalypse, from zombie perspective
You Must Leave It Behind – driving car and placing mines
I’m going to have stuff happening this weekend, so I might only end up with 24 hours out of 48, but I’ll see if I can get something done regardless!
I’ll be using Construct 2 and GraphicsGale, along with sfxr if I have time for sound effects. Good luck to everybody participating!
We (@Thunraz and @Laguna_999) are in for our fourth Ludum Dare!
What we’ll be using:
We’re both looking forward for a great weekend!
This will be my second Ludum Dare and for this competition and last time I used my own engine to make my entry (good thing, too. made things a hell of a lot faster to develop). I’ve recently refactored and changed a few components and made a new version of the engine. I’ll be using code from both versions in my entry.
Both versions can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/skipiengine/
The language I’ll be coding in is C++. I’ll be using SFML for graphics, input, and audio, along with Boost for all the goodies it provides. My challenge for this LD is to create a strategy game out of the topic, no matter what it is. Should be fun!
mostly because it looks like your titlebars are in 8bit color mode
i really hope thats legit
