I am finally able to participate in my third Ludum Dare event. This time will be different however, the first two times I did the game jam with a team of friends.  This will be my first time going into the competition solo.  The best part of the Ludum Dare experience for me is not the thought that my ideas could come out on top or my art will blow someone away, but rather the wealth of feedback from the community.  Be that in my game design ideas, code reviews, art suggestions, sounds, music, writing, or an interesting creation by another member of the community that gets my wheels turning.

Engine: Unity or Duality (C#)

Graphics: Inkscape and/or Gimp and Photography

Music: Garage Band (anyone know of a place to get more samples?)

Sound FX: BFXR

Good luck to everyone, I am excited to see what you do!

Im in.

I’m in!

This will be my 3rd attempt at this, let’s hope all that will come to make me actually competent.

I’ll be using

PhaserJS as my engine

WebStorm IDE

Aseprite for “Art”

LMMS for “music”

Probably SFXR f0r sound effects

let’s do this!

Unless things go horribly wrong within the next several days, I fully plan to participate in LD33! Probably I will use Unity again, although my heart still belongs to HTML5.

On top of that, I’m gonna try to stream my development and play a bunch of your games live during the rating weeks. I can be a very harsh critic, mind you, but I will do my best to give the most honest advice I can.  So please look forward to that, the excitement should probably be enough to keep you awake every night until the jam.

In the meantime, you can play all two of my old Ludum Dare games!  One of them won a gold circle! But could my LD33 game perhaps win even more gold circles?  Only time will tell.

Hey there!

I’m probably not going to be able to do this for a while, so I thought I’d fit in one more LD before my college work consumes me completely!

My tools will be:

• (shamefully) GM Studio, still not confident enough with C# yet.
• Aseprite (maybe) or just Paint.NET.
• BFXR
• Audacity
• I can’t make music even slightly, so I’ll be entering the Jam and stealing Royalty Free Music, as usual, like the peasant I am.

Really looking forward to this one.

Taha

I’m going to participate in this Ludum Dare.

I’ll proabably be using:

• Unity3d as game engine
• Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition as IDE
• C# as programming language
• Paint.NET for graphics
• SFXR or something similar for sounds
• Pixitracker and Audacity for music

Tried to participate last time and failed massively. I blamed it on the category but in reality it was just me being unprepared. But now I am prepared 100% and ready to go!

Tools

• Gamemaker: Studio (Professional Edition)
• Paint.NET (Maybe…)
• Sfxr
• My mind
• Food and water

I’m just going in alone but I’m excited and confident that I’ll make something for LD. I hope everyone has fun participating!

I’ll only be able to do the jam for ~24 hours because of real-life commitments, but that should be enough time to make something. Instead of listing my tools, here’s a joke for you: who is the official Ludum Dare rapper?

Dr. Dare!

That joke only works if you pronounce it da-RE. Uh, here’s a second joke: what was Dr. Dare’s groundbreaking album?

Straight Outta Compo!

That wasn’t very good either, but give me credit… I only had forty-eight hours! Ha!!!

Me and my team are in this weekend.
This time around we got a game maker licence to publish to HTML5. Hoping that will help us get lots of people playing and leaving some good constructive feedback.

I’m in and I’ll be working from this adjustable tiny sit/stand desk in my tiny house.

Hey I’m new here so a big hello to everyone! I hope to be able to enter the Jam and I hope I’m not too late :S. I’ll be entering on my own

I’ll be using the following tools:

• Game Maker Studio
• Audacity
• REAPER
• Paint
• Myself (I’m a Tool)

Hopefully this is all okay, I’ve read the rules and guidlines and I’m keen as a bean!

Hello Everyone,

Me and some other mates will take part of the next Ludum Dare We need artist as we are all programmers ( at the last year of our master studies).

We already took part to other game jams: GJ2015, GameCraft and we won the UKIE Jam. We went also to Hackatons. We mostly use Unity; 2D or 3D we don t have preferences and it will depend on the theme.

We like to have fun as it is the most important thing in this kind of events, and when taking about games we range form Fallout to Super Smash Brothers. If you want to join the fun just let us know.

Cheers,

Andrea

This will be my very first participation in Ludlum Dare, can’t wait!
To make it even more fun, I will try to participate in the combo.

(Edit: Anyone that have an office I can crash in Boston?)

My Tool choices

• Engine: Engine? Where we are going, all we need is canvas!
• Language: JavaScript
• Art: PhotoShop / Illustrator
• Sound:  sfxr

My goal is to make something that works equally well on web and mobile devices.

WHY ;_;

(….shhhhh……

those open parentheses really drive you nuts later; my present to you! you should put some extra closing parentheses in your game for to make good for it ^_^

edit:

APPARENTLY BACK BY POPLAR DEMAND IS THE CLOSING PARENTHESIS! :- )

edit edit:

turning into a real LIVING DOCUMENT up in here, yo

After going in and out of game development for about 12 years and not really finishing anything, now I’m trying to dive in game dev for real.
So I hope this Ludum Dare can be my turning point, to make a simple but complete game in just 48 hours (fingers crossed!)

Tools I’m going to use:

• Game Engine: Unity3d
• Programming language: C#
• Graphics: Probably GIMP or some pixelart editor
• Sounds: SFXR or something similar

By the way, notably I’m not an artist, so you can expect programmer art.

Good jam for everyone!

Going to try this again. Not sure for the engine maybe something JS based (Phaser perhaps). Blender for models, photoshop if 2D. bfxr for sound effects and it2everything for music.

I hope it goes well this time.

I’m in, and because I felt like trying something new, I had a look at Crafty.js. My friends behind the Dining Philosopher account seem to be quite happy with it. So I timeboxed myself to two hours this evening to make a little procedural Canabalt clone.

Play it here! It should get harder over time, both because your speed increases, and because the jumps become more difficult.

The source is on GitHub. The generation algorithm could use some tweaking and I suspect there is a bug somewhere, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out in just two hours.

I made it to level 4 so far. To what level can you get?

I am sooo excited for ludum dare 33 and i plan on entering. i will be using gamemaker as the engine, bfrx for the sounds (along with audacity), gimp to make my 2D sprites, and lmms for the music.
