Only after I go get some tacos.

Love the new site! Good luck everyone.

First time I'll be able to participate without work/school getting in the way, excited :)

Also, I'll likely stream the whole thing on twitch/OfficialDingbat

Do i just stream or do i need special tags or something?

this new site confuses me.

what up

Hi. My first Ludum Dare! i'm teaming with my brother. we are going to use Unity and hopping to have a great weekend

First time... hopefully I'll finish! :P

This will be my 3rd Ludum Dare and on a special note: Today is my Birthday, so this is the greatest birthday present ever I get to make myself a game and let others play it.

I think.

We'll see if I actually manage to make anything, depends on if I happen to get any workable idea. Likely to use either Unity or Game Maker depending on what kind of idea I'll come up with.

OK I figured it out - this is my 12th. Wow!

first time participating, hopefully not the last!

1. Sleep

Many recommend to sleep during the jam, but why should you listen to them? You only have 48/72 hours to make a game, right!? Not only making, but finishing a game in that amount of time is hard enough without the sweet release of slumber to get in the way. Also, did you know, the longest someone went without sleep was more than 11 days? So why shouldn't you be able to go 3? If you need to sleep, look to Da Vinci for guidance. He'd only sleep 20 minutes every 4 hours. Why not right?

2. Food

Eating healthy? Nah. Eat fast I'd say. Why spend time cooking a stew or cutting up fruit and veggies when you could just run to McDonald's and stock up on cheeseburgers and fries!? Nothing gives you more energy than some greasy reheated meat and buttered buns. Well, maybe greasy meats and buttered buns re-reheated in your kitchen microwave. If McDonald's fries can last years and still be good, shouldn't they give you loads of energy?? Energy drinks you say? Drink a lot of them. Maybe a 16oz Red Bull every hour - give that heart a real boost! Who needs water, am I right? We're humans, not fish.

3. Scope

Okay, okay. You have 3 days to make a game. You may be wondering how much you can do. So ask yourself this, can Online Multiplayer make your game win? No? Do it anyways; MMO's are awesome. Might not have time to polish gameplay? Go ahead and add not only add a Quest system, but also Inventory, just for the hell of it. Oh, and toss Crafting in there too. "But what about feature creep?" Yeah that's a myth. You're the most focused and talented developer making games this weekend, why worry about that?

4. Final Thoughts

Don't listen to me. You'll die.

Wish me luck!

Let's wait for the last 50 mins!!

I'm hoping to have enough time this weekend to make a game, this will be my 14th Dare!

          ready,
:race_car: set,
          go!

Been looking at Ludum Dares for a while now, me and a friend finally decided to try it. Both programmers so you can only expect the best art you've ever seen. We shall most likely be using Unity for the game, and either Blender or GIMP for art assets depending on dimension of the game. Here's hoping. :smile:

First time doing LD but I will try my best at Combo

Stuff: * Unity * C# * Photoshop * 3dsmax * Blender

(It was a failure)
