se you on the other side of votings ;)

We have gotten some amazing feedback on Murder Mitosis these last few weeks, and we have finally decided to turn this into an actual game!

We have set up a Facebook page and of course murdermitosis.com is being redesigned. If you follow us there or on Twitter we will keep you updated on what's going on.

The plan is to redo the entire thing from scratch, since the code got quite messy as the jam-deadline approached. We will also keep the scope rather small for the final product, as local multiplayer games are unfortunately not that great of an investment from a business perspective. We have grown rather fond of our little game and had a lot of fun playing it with friends, so we are dedicated to invest some time into adding new features, rebalancing the gameplay, and adding some more polish.

We have deliberately not touched the Jam-version after the deadline, even though there were a few features we were itching to add. However, I now have a blank project open and a new repository set up and we are ready to give this another go!

What would you like to see added?

We are looking for some more feedback, not on the jam version, but on stuff you would like to see added in a future version. Here's a few things we will definitely add based on feedback we have gotten thus far:

• Control remapping
  • This is rather obvious, but there was no time for this during the jam.
• Make Food more visible
  • Maybe get rid of the Food altogether and instead have the player regain energy by staying in motion. Once they get stuck between creatures, they will start to die.
• Power Ups
  • Perhaps make players stronger, or increase the reach of their conversion attack.

But we want to get the very best out of our little game, so if you have more suggestions, please let us know!

Dear devs trolling for votes, do yourselves a favor and start voting too. That'll make your game climb to the top of the main list at https://ldjam.com/games/.

Also, please help our endangered species for that extra special karmic magic (really just an algorithm which rewards common decency): https://ldjam.com/games/danger/.

:octopus: bids you endless love and eternal judgment

Thanks! :-)

Hi guys. I'm still far from the goal, but I will see if I can get there today by rating a lot of games and hopefully get some rating for my game. So if you rate my game and comment it, I will rate yours too. Let's see how many in the danger zone we can save today, thanks! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/leafcutters

It is so fun receiving and reading some feedback for my game specially for a beginner in Game Development like me. It definitely helped me a lot and gave me hope on creating more games. I wish I can join more Ludum Dare in the future.

THANK YOU to all those who played and gave feedback to my game.

I would also like to congratulate everyone who participated in this game jam specially for those who joined for the first time just like me.

I have posted a lot about my game for the past 3 weeks, maybe I shall probably stop now.

Just an Advertisment:

Pls help me with votes and feedback :smiley: : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/ghost-cat

Hey guys,

first of all I have to say I am an huge portal fan and I love the credit songs! So I decided to write a credit song for each game we make. If there is enough time. This time it was and I wrote and record in the last four hours a song for our game.

I am sure that not everyone play our game until the end and because of that some people don't hear the song. In the comments I got almost no feedback. Therefore I make this blogpost. I would like to get a little bit more feedback. Is it so bad that only one mentioned it? Or do you think that it's unusual or bad to make a song for the credits?

I'm not 100 percent satisfied with it, because I had a sore throat and have to sing quiet because it was very late and I'm a bit shy and did not want the others to hear me sing. (I know it's ridiculous... But you can't imagine how much overcoming this costs me each time to add and publish a song to the game)

Enough of words. Here is my song:

Here is one last look at Miniverse, thanks!

Hey once again thanks for the feedback everyone. From the feedback I received I have decided to turn this into a full game. The platforms I'm currently targeting are PC and Android. A lot of hard work ahead to turn this into something that people will pay to play :)

Looking through the danger list it's incredible how many wonderful games were left undiscovered! I'm playing them like mad.

I'm very thankful for all the feedback I received on my game, all very useful and insightful. Before participating in Ludum Dare I never knew how fun it is to share your work with others. If you haven't seen my game, you can find it here: My Very Own World

Hope to see you during Ludum Dare 39!

Goblin Assault is a mix between Survival and Tower Defense. We still need lots of votes, so please check it out!

The game is about building Archer Towers and Barricades to kill and prevent goblins from reaching the mighty Crystal of Ididnthavetimetocreatealore. In order to do that, you can build and upgrade Towers - that deal tons of damage, but are fragile - or build and upgrade Barricades - which deal no damage, but have tons of HP.

There are 10 waves. Between each wave, you’ll have about 38 seconds (Because it’s LD38) to collect wood and stone - which are going to be used to build structures (You can only build during preparation time). You can also use your melee weapon to knock enemies and deal little damage to them. Speaking of which, your melee weapon is very smart and automatically changes to an axe, pickaxe or sword whenever you need it to.

{SPOILERS}: Some waves contain special enemies: a boss on waves 5 and 10, and a special enemy that buffs your melee weapon if killed at waves 3, 6 and 9. There are also 3 normal enemies; a Melee, an Archer and a Tank, which will appear on all the waves (Not necessarily all of the 3) {/SPOILERS}

The game might seem to be too hard at first - which was kind of the intention - but don’t give up on it! You’ll find it easier with each new attempt you do. The game is also not very long (ranging from 2 to ~15 minutes per run), so you don’t lose much time when you get a game over.

For the controls, you’ll find them and some more information on its itch.io page, where you will be downloading the game.

If you enjoyed the game, check out my twitter (@Syndelis) for some other cool games I’m currently working on.

Cheers.

So I managed to figure out this seemingly popular word cloud thing, fed it my LD38 entry, and got back a lovely machine-regurgitated beat poem. I found it an extremely accurate ~~description~~ abstraction of CryoDream's overall user experience as well as of its development process.

:octopus: urges you to help your endangered peers

Seriously, I thought I was done rating games, but looking at all these "Please Vote" blogs, I think I can't stop right now. So, please post your game in the comments and I will try to play it. Please post only web based (browser) games and be quick about it, because I haven't got much time.

So what are you waiting for? Go on, post the links! :slight_smile:

Edit: Sorry, time up!! I rated as many as I could!

Well, I think that's going to be all the time I have to judge this time around. Would have liked to do a judging stream, but have just been super busy with work the last few weeks.

I look forward to the next time around though. Will have to see if I can actually do two in a row and spend more than 12 hours on an entry out of 72. At least I used a technology that I had already started using a bit this time! That always helps too.

Keep on voting everyone!

Odd Ball

Edit: I really underestimated this community! We got enough votes not even an hour after I originally posted this. Thank you everyone, so much, for reviewing and rating our game. We're going through them now, and I promise everyone who's commented will have their games reviewed by us today. Cheers and happy gaming!

Hi everyone,

This is @colm-eccles and my first Ludum Dare. We've always been interested, but never really got anything completed... until now! Enjoy our first Visual Novel game with 5 different endings.

We're reaching out here because we just need a few more votes to be eligible for a score! If you play, vote, and comment on our game, I'll play yours in return :)

I tried to get a gif working, but it turned out laggy and choppy. So I hope you enjoy this short, 30-second long demo video.
