LD33 August 21–24, 2015

I’m in!

This will be my first Ludum Dare and I’m really looking forward to this.

I am primarily a Unity developer and I will be cannibalizing a few helpful scripts from previous projects (mostly audio, language, and management stuff).  I don’t know if I’ll finish in time, but I’d love to participate.  Good luck and happy jamming!

I’m in

First time for me. Getting really excited.

Wishing everyone the best of luck !

I’m In Again!

First off I would just like to say something that I hope at least one person will hear…

The prize for Ludum Dare is not money, a trophy, nor immense fame; the prize, instead, is getting the motivation to come up with a fun game idea that can expand into much more after the competition is over. With such a huge emphasis on the games, it only makes sense to help our fellow developers in clearly understanding the feedback we provide. I know it takes more time and effort, but I implore anyone reading this to be as descriptive as possible when writing your feedback. If you didn’t care for a part of the game, give plenty of detail. More importantly, make sure to give plenty of detail on what you enjoyed as well, even though it is easier to point out negatives.

Unfortunately, the unintentional side effect of the current rating system encourages quick ratings without much thought. However, even if you only give descriptive feedback to every fifth game you rate, I know that the developer will deeply appreciate the effort you put forth and may even return the favor. Together we can create a wonderful community for game developers. :)


Anyway, I’ll talk about my plans for this Ludum Dare! This is my fifth participation so I’ll give a brief history to my previous attempts.

My first Ludum Dare was #22 in December 2011; I did not finish on time.

My second Ludum Dare was #24 in August 2012; again I was unable to finish.

My third Ludum Dare, #28 in December 2013, was more successful and I finished in time for the Jam! http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-28/?action=preview&uid=7292

My fourth Ludum Dare, #30 in August 2014, was even more successful as this time I finished in time for the compo and had overall higher ratings. http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-30/?action=preview&uid=7292


So now here I am, my fifth time. My goals this time are as follows:

  • Still finish in time for the compo.
  • Finish the game early enough so that I don’t have to rush graphics last minute like the previous two times.
  • Finish the game early enough to add sound.

And to help me accomplish my goals, I’m switching up my tools a bit to help me out this time as well:

  • Engine: Unity (2D)
  • Graphics: Adobe Photoshop CS5
  • Sound:
    • Adobe Soundbooth CS5
    • Audacity
    • Finale Print Music 2014

GL;HF everone!

I’m in like Flynn!

Good luck finishing this time! Love your avatar, by the way.

I’m in for Saturday!

… but I’m out of town on Sunday. Let’s see what a 24HR Ludum Dare compo entry turns out!

I’ll be using:

  • Unity 5
  • Blender maybe
  • MagicaVoxel maybe
  • BFXR, probs
  • Beepbox, probs (but maybe AudioTool or LMMS)
  • Photoshop

Good luck to everyone out there!

I’m in from Spain (4th time already)

Here I go again, after pass succesfully all my first year college exams (In videogame Design) let’s do this.

 

Game Engine: Let’s try this time with Unity

Graphic tools: Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop

Music/audio: Sfrx and abundantmusic.com

 

Let’s do this mates, let’s rock this time harder :)

I’m In

First timer here. What could possibly go wrong…

Im also in!

Nothing better to do this weekend so I might as well join in my first LD attempt, joining up with Fafner creating a roguelike(-like) in Unity.

I’m in! (without internet)

Recent house moves have left me internetless, so I’m going in without protection.

tools:

  • Unity
  • Paint.net
  • Audacity, FLStudio, BFXR
  • Guts, determination
  • extended mobile data plan if things get desperate

Wish me luck!

I’m in

Daring to Ludum.

Will be doing it with a crew using UE4, and whatever assets can be made in the course of the weekend. Looking forward to a good time.

Possibly sort-of in

In, but not all the way. Part-way in, as it were. Lurking in the doorway of Ludum Dare, letting in a terrible draught.
In my bag is Pygame (after not having all that much luck with Unity), PyxelEdit and ModPlugTracker if music happens.

Tools of Dare

This time I am going safe with tools that I already know well: 3D Unity game with VR support.

 

Unity

Oculus Utilites

Blender

Photoshop

Substance Designer & Painter

Bfxr

Audacity

Ice Cream

Going in!

Right, I’m in! My toolbox will be slightly different this time.

  • Unity
  • Pixen
  • GarageBand

Pumped for the first time I try making my own game with Unity! I’ve only practiced a bit, so I’ll try to keep my ambition low. I will expect having to read or watch one or two tutorials during development, so I’m gonna aim for a game with a very simple game loop. Probably none of that multiple level stuff I did the last couple times, boy was that time-consuming.

Good luck to one and all! May our Jam be sweet and righteous.

I’m in

Couldn’t make the last one, so much musical potential!

Hopefully I can provide lots of songs this time! 😀

Let’s do this!

Going for the solo jam this time too (compo if I have enough time).
Unity and PS will be my friends.
Let’s do this!

I’m in

This is our first Ludum dare although not our first game jam. Hoping to make something cool using UE4, C++ (blueprints is all else fails), and just see how its goes.
Good luck 😀

I’m in from Colombia

I’ll try for the first time in this LD.

Tools:

  • Code: JavaScript (I’ll write everithing :S)
  • Art: Paint .Net or Graphics Gale
  • Music: Lmms
  • Sound Effects: Bfxr

I hope to finish my game on time 😀
