This is my first Ludum Dare!

My tools so far:

Language: Lua
Engine: love2d
Editor: vim
Graphics: GIMP
Audio: ?

I’m in! I’m going to try and make a web-playable game again, but this time I’m going to use haxe with the luxe engine.

I’m going to try and use it for a 3D game, which is not really what luxe is intended for. (it’s great for 2d games though). I just like doing 3d stuff and I don’t mind tinkering with engine stuff, so I’m going to give it a shot unless I have a really good idea for a 2d game. Last night I put together a warmup game (the world’s crappiest breakout clone) which helped me anticipate a lot of the issues I might run into.

My basecode and the warmup game is in my ld48 code dump (https://code.google.com/p/ld48jovoc/) in the basecodehx and warmup subdirs. I would not recommend them, they are a big mess as mostly for my learning, but feel free to peek at them if you want.

Good luck everyone! This is going to be amazing!

ps. I love that not only that this post’s slug includes ☃, it’s the second such post.

I didn’t finish last Ludum Dare, so I’m in again!

I envy the people who are meeting in real world gatherings.  Anyone else in Arizona, especially in the Phoenix area?

My local incarnation of the snowman greets you warmly coldly.

For better or worse, I’ll throw my hat in and make a game in 48 hours for the compo. Obligatory list of tools/boilerplate code forthcoming.

Also, based on the URL of this post, it appears that this is the 2921st post today titled “I’m in” or a near variant. Wow!

Getting ready for my first Ludum Dare.

I will be participating in the Jam together with my good friend Vidar as team ATOMIC STRAWBERRY!

We are going to be writing our game in LUA using löve2d, we will also be doing our own graphics with tools like grafx2 and the gimp. It is still a mystery to how we are going to get music and sound into our game, but I am sure we will find a way.

This will be a very new experience for me since I’ve never really HAD to finish a programming project in such a short deadline, so we will see how it goes, luckily Vidar already has some experience with this!

We have decided to try and design our code with data oriented design also known as component oriented which Vidar introduced me to. In striving for a data oriented design one tries to steer away from the mindset that comes with object oriented design in which one creates sets of data that live in an object, instead you try to group related data together, such as having one array for the positions for all of your entities. This approach has advantages, especially for performance. I have not had much experience with this style of programming so this weekend will be a perfect opportunity to get some! (more info)

I am writing this the day before we start. Being in Sweden means that the Jam/Compo starts in the middle of the night (in about 3 hours). So I will try to get a reasonable night’s sleep and then head of to Vidar’s early in the morning to get started! I am very excited!

Best of luck to you all!

Hey all!

This is going to be my first Ludum Dare, was going into compo but I unfortunately have commitments on the Sunday, and I’m thinking 24hrs will be a bit crazy for a first timer, so it’ll be the jam for me.

Unity3D

Modo801

Photoshop, Aseprite

cfxr, garageband….

Good luck everybody!!

But I want to be able to use my base code if I do decide to enter so here I am declaring it. https://github.com/xGeovanni/Javascript-Stuff

Already a new ld, and we’re in!
It’ll be me and a friend, so the jam, even with 72h it’ll be short but we’ll try 😀

We’ll use HaxePunk.

Good luck everyone

☃

We’re a couple of NHTV students, participating for the first time!

Streaming too!

Good luck!

… on one screen? Dude!

My Pygame library helps with cross-platform distribution and adds fun stuff to Pygame like animated sprites, cubic splines, screen captures and video recording.

It’s publicly available code you’re welcome to dig through.

git clone http://git.a-o.in/pgfw/

Other tools I’m using besides that and Pygame are

• milkytracker
• sfxr
• gimp
• emacs
• digital camera

3…2…1…YAY!

This afternoon we’ve set up our workstations – three laptops and one small table. Due to the timezone difference, the jam theme will be made public at 3 o’clock in the morning: not the best time for a good start into the jam. So we’ll start some hours later, but then go right into the hustle.

Exciting times!

Hi!

I’ts my forth one and this time I will be doing the 48h Compo!
I will be using the following tools:

Language: C# with MonoGame
IDE: Visual Studio 2013 Express
Graphics: Photoshop
Audio: BFXR, Audacity and maybe GarageBand
Timelapse: ScreenNinja 2

I have an idea of a game to make, and hopefully I have not taken more than I can chew (!?!?)

Happy Ludum everyone and wish me luck!

This Ludum Dare, not only will I have to deal with a 48 hour time limit, I will also have to deal with feeling ill! That’s right, I caught a nasty virus at the worst time possible! Fun fun fun.

The tools I’m using for this Dare are:

Code: Construct2.

Art: Aseprite, PyxelEdit, MsPaint, and GIMP.

Music: LSDJ and Audacity.

Anti-sickness: Coughdrops, medicine, and lots of rest.

Wish me luck! Hopefully I can make a decent game despite my condition.

*does nervous jig* hello!

yadayada I’m in and all that. Second ludum dare (first was 30)

using python & pygame

gimp &/or graphicsgale

http://freesfx.co.uk/ and other stuff I stumble across

hope everyone has fun!

I’m entering to my first jam i might have a couple friends help a little and i’ll credit them if they do.

I recently noticed that it’s been two years since I’ve released a finished game.

Holy shit.

That’s as good an excuse as any– I’m doing Ludum Dare this weekend.  I’ll be busy most of Saturday and Sunday, and there’s a big snow/ice storm coming, which means the power could go out at any time.  Doesn’t matter.  I’ll make it work.

Here’s my basecode, for anyone who cares about that.

Good luck everyone!

Gonna be doing the jam this time!

Tools:  Visual Studio (For Graphics) Netbeans Java SE, Audacity, Casio CTK-700
