I've been making shooter game prototypes for a bit now and decided my personal challenge is making an interesting non-violent shooter game. I'm sure I've played some before and there are some out there, but it's something I haven't attempted and gonna do this in 48 hours (or say I meant to do the jam all along when it isn't done in time).
See you on the bottom of the charts, folks.
Last Ludum Dare, my game icon was blurry. Does anyone know the optimal size for game icons on this site?
Most of my projects have an amazing start, then.... that's it. I'm somewhat confident that I can make a game that will at least be playable, but the quality will most likely leave a lot to be desired. I'm very excited (And nervous), since this will be my first LD. I may, just may, probably, most-definitely have to quit early. I have friends coming on the 3rd, at 1:30pm, which is 4:30 minutes before the competition is done. Good luck, hope it's a good theme, and I suck at writing comments. :nerd:
Hopefully I can actually make something polished for once. Good luck to everyone!
Yes, hello, we are back we are. ZDoctor and I will be up and at 'em again this time around. Hopefully I don't get bummed out and have to cram the last 3 hours like last time.
Ya buddy boy ZDoctor got the music with Audacity and Musescore 2.
Me, yes me, has got the code wrangled up with GMS2, sprite art with Paint.net and the built in sprite editor in GMS2 for animating. Also Gimp for logo's and bigger art.
I WILL be posting updates to my Twitter this time(hopefully) so hit me up 'dere...I guess, if you want.
Also I felt like dipping my toes into some poetry this time around so here's an awful haiku about this:
Fortieth:four::zero: LD.:joystick:
Grab :hand_splayed: your snacks :peanuts: and coffee :coffee:
All aboard :bell: the hype :tada: train :steam_locomotive:
I didn't train or anything and I don't really have anything to complain about, just, let's hope the theme is actually a theme.
I have only the faintest idea of what I'm doing and I'm almost certainly not going to finish anything, but I'll be poking around in Unity all the same. Should be fun! :)
Hi, we're Lalaine and Keke and we'll be doing the programming and art respectively. The tools we'll be using are Unity for the code and Aesprite and Photoshop CC for the art. As for music... we're still figuring that one out. This will be our second time participating in the LD Jam. Our first time was during Ludum Dare 37 and we learned a lot from it, so hopefully we do better this time around. Good luck everyone!
I've been programming in C# and using Unity since March and I've learnt a lot, I hope it all goes well and a good theme is picked! Best of luck to everyone <3
I've worked in unity and C# for about 2 years now. Never did a jam but I've always been interested. Finally going for it :) Thank you to the people that make Ludum Dare possible. It's always been "The Jam" to participate in. Only took me 39 of them to get around to it LOL
Hey ! I'm Tom and it will be my 3rd LD ! I hope I would make a better score than last time (277th overall). I'm still using a game lib I made based on LibGdx (Java). Here a little warmup ==> https://streamable.com/alnev Good luck everyone !
So I think I shall be entering this, the 40th ludum dare. This will be my first time so uh... Good luck all!
Let's have some fun making games!
Hi everyone, we're very exited to participate in the 40th Ludum Dare! We've recently been inspired by racing games, so we're excited to see what we can do with the theme. Good luck to everyone!
So I will be streaming my progress on the game I make, is anyone else a streamer that might do the same?

here it is if you want to watch / give advice or just hangout to watch me suffer XD
This'll be my first LD and gamejam I'm participating in! Let's make some games!
Hi first time for me at Ludum Dare (actually never participated in any game jam). I use C# a lot in my work and I hope it will be enough to make something remotely playable with unity ^^ Let's make some programmer arts :) And good luck to all of course!!
Someone wanna Jam with me? Im a unity Programmer. Nice to meet you :smile:
I haven't participated in a Gamejam for a year or two, so I'm more than keen for the LD40 Compo! :smile:
Seeing a lot of people joining the Jam for the first time too, which is great to see. I've participated in 5 Gamejams before: 3 were Ludum Dares, 1 was a miniLD and 1 was a NASA GameJam. All with differing amounts of success, Gamejams are tricky beasts!
Its the perfect time for a GameJam as back in September I started a '100 Days of Game Development' challenge, where day 100 will be the final day of 2017. Today is the 69th successful consecutive day of that challenge and I've been spending a lot of time getting familiar with Unity and brushing up the game dev skills. So it will be good to spend a huge chunk of time over the weekend trying to make something fun!
If anyone is interested in seeing my 100 Days Challenge so far, the Full 100 Days of Game Dev Playlist here: YT Link
Otherwise see my profile here on LD if you'd like to follow me, my work and my ramblings on social media!
Tools:
-Unity (Game Engine)
-C# (Programming)
-Blender (If I go 3D)
-GIMP (2D/Textures)
-Audacity (Music/SFX)
-Bosca Ceoil (Music)
Also I'm thinking of writing another post, covering my 'GameJam Philosophy' before the LD gets going (if I can find time). I've picked up what I think are some good tips and approaches for GameJams, based on my past experiences. Since theres a lot of new jammers, it might be good to share!

Weather in Belgrade will drop below zero this weekend, perfect time for game development. As nature gets frozen the energy escapes into spiritual realms and inspiration runs rampant, also who would want to go out when it's sub zero outside. This time I'm hoping to maybe make something cheerful, or story driven at least, depends how the theme works out for me.
