LD 40 December 1–4, 2017

We're in! This is our first Ludem Dare!

@dalma and I are doing our first Ludem Dare.

Tools we will be using

  • Language: Haxe
  • Music Software: Bosca Ceoil
  • Sound Effects: BFXR
  • Graphics: Pen and Paper / Hexels
  • Framework: Pongo https://github.com/PongoEngine

We look forward to joining the aliens in space.

Late Decision!

Just decided to join this Ludum Dare. This will be my second one and I hope I can use my knowledge from the first to constructively improve my final product this time. I will be using Unity for the most part, with Blender for 3d modeling, Photoshop for texturing and graphics, and LMMS for music (likely done by a friend).

Super Pumped

Super excited to participate in another Ludum Dare! This is my 5th time participating in the jam. I work in a group of three, Programmer, Artist and Composer.

You can check out some of our work, and other little projects here: https://tyranosaw.itch.io/

In any case, this is what we are using: - Unity 2017 - Piskel - Fl Studios

Anyways, Good luck everyone. Have fun jamming!! :smile:

I'm in for the 6th time

It's been two years since my last Ludum Dare. I'm kinda rusty, but we'll see.

I will be using C++14 with SFML. I may also use one of my custom game starter lib thingy (this one, or maybe that one). As usual I'll be developping on linux ad then export the result on windows. I will be using gimp, inkscape, audacity, my microphone, my banjo and maybe some other software for the music if needed.

Good luck to every one!

I'm Probably In

I'll be using Unity 2D, and maybe Pyxel Edit and Tiled. The last Ludum Dare that I participated in was #32. It seems that the website has changed a bunch since then.

Ready To Jam!

I've done Game Jams before, but this will be my first Ludum Dare Jam!

I will be the Developer for our game, Jamming with 2 excellent Artists! @jamoor @videojames

Here is the software we'll be using:

  • Unity Engine
  • Aseprite
  • FL Studio
  • Domino's Pizza USA App

Looking forward to a fun weekend of building something awesome with some friends and hopefully not eating too unhealthily along the way.

Basic 3D Modelling Tool

If like me, you're not an artist and you've never had the time nor inclination to drill the 36 million Blender keyboard shortcuts into your brain, you might find some tools that have been shipping with Windows 10 lately quite useful.

  • 3D Builder
  • Paint 3D

Both have different strengths depending on what sort of shape/design you're aiming for. Both can export in .obj format for use in Unity, complete with textures. I found Paint3D had more flexibility, allowing you to literally draw shapes and extrude them into 3D, then manipulate them. You can paint directly onto the object with a range of brushes. No custom textures, but that's where 3D builder comes in.

Paint3D doesn't tend to export right straight into Unity, so I exported in .3mf format, imported into 3D builder, added any textures I wanted and then exported to .obj format from there. As usual you'll need to set their scale to 100 or 1000.

Once you've exported more than one model into Unity their materials will tend to get jumbled up, so it's just a question of finding the right material in the folder and dragging it into the right slot in the materials list in the inspector. A bit of a pain but quicker than scrabbling around in Blender.

I made this little chap in about 5 minutes, which would have taken me several ice ages in Blender.

I'm in - first jam here.

Using UnityEngine

include "Marmoset Hexels 3"

include "FL Studio 11"

include "Pizza"

First time on this kind of event. Good Luck to all jammers.

Cheers! :smiley:

It's this weekend?! S***!

Didn't realise LD40 was this weekend until I checked just now. Ah well, guess I'll be going for a simple entry this time.

At least the topics look interesting.

I'll be using: - Unity (3d or 2d depending on the theme); - Adobe Photoshop; - Adobe Audition;

Let's see what I can come up with. :slight_smile:

There's a first time for everything

Finally getting the chance to take the plunge.

Programs being used: Unity, Photoshop, Maya, FL Studio.

Looking forward to a good time even if I fail under the time crunch.

Good luck to everyone participating.

ExoTeam's here!

Hey buddies! We wish you your best jam ever!

We are three French dev ready for their first LD.

Is there any game artist who would wish to join us? =D

I'm in - second try.

First went not so good, I'll try my best this time. I will be using Unity + blender/photoshop (we'll see). Good luck everyone!

Any tips for first time jammers?

A team of one gamedev with some experience and two beginner artists here excited for our first game jam. We'll be probably using less known jMonkeyEngine as our engine and Blender for art. Do you have any tips for beginners to share?

Here we go!

I'm in for the second time. I will participate in the jam. First time wen't really bad. I were starting to work on way too big projects so it ended with me doing a game in around five hours just to have something. Let's hope i've learnt from my mistakes and will be able to do something fun this time.

I will use: Unity, Visual studios, Photoshop, Blender

And maybye something more if needed...

Good look to you all!

I'm in for LD40

Pretty excited to do Ludum Dare again. This time I will be submitting solo.

I will be creating a game in Unity and I will use tools like Photoshop, Blender, Bfxr, and Audacity to create all the art and sounds needed.

I did some warmup this week that left me with some great architectural ideas that should minimise bugs and decrease my frustration. But we will see!

To everyone else participating: Good luck and have fun!

First Jam

After years of putting it off, this will be my first LD. I'll be using Game maker and developing solo. Best of luck to you all

I'm in!

I'm in! This will be my 21st LD. My Toolset:

  • IDE: Intellij, Visual Studio
  • Engine: libGDX, Unreal Engine 4
  • Sound: Bfxr, Audacity
  • Graphics: Blender, GIMP
  • Music: Abundant Music, Timidity

Good luck everyone!

I'm in.

I'm in. First time. I started doing jams at the beginning of this year and I'm quite addicted now. Haven't got a great deal of time, Sunday morning and Tuesday afternoon, but that should be enough time if I limit my scope... Wait! I've just had an idea for an epic rpg space western...

Using: Java Eclipse IDE, SFXR/BFXR, Paint, Audacity/Beepbox.

I'm in for LD40

First LD for me. No clue how to sign up but I see everyone posting that they're in so here's my I'm In too. 😀 Very excited to learn what the theme is. Best of luck to everyone and looking forward to seeing what everyone makes. Cheers!
