Let's avoid duplicates in theme slaughter!

Hey everyone! One thing I noticed during the last Theme slaughter was that there were a ton of duplicates or themes that are written differently but mean the same thing. So here are some things that could help solve this issue:

  • Avoid punctuation (unless necessary).
  • Try simplifying your themes to one or two words. You don't need to write a whole sentence to explain your theme!
  • Avoid fancy words. There are tons of synonyms in English so try to use the most common ones.
  • Check for typos!

Hopefully, this can make theme slaughter more enjoyable and make the themes more open to interpretation! Tell me what you think about this! I wish everyone a pleasant Ludum Dare and I'll leave you with some theme suggestions of my own! :) My suggestions.PNG

Working on dialogue UI now!

It's got that "pop art by someone who doesn't know anything about pop art" aesthetic, which is great because guess how much I know about pop art

Game is coming along...

Just wanted to say "hello" because I haven't created one of those "I'm in" posts yet.

After scrapping my original idea, which was too abstract and complex to realize in one weekend, I settled for something more concrete which I might actually realize in the time window of the compo.

The schedule is very tight, as I still have all those nasty sound assets as well as some art assets on my to-do list.

My theme submissions

I kept it to only 2, the best I could think of :) I chose quality over quantity here

Hello! Looking for teammates!

Hello everyone! I have participated in total in 4 jams, three of which can be seen in my profile - check it out! I am forming a team for Ludum Dare 46, I am myself a rather experienced programmer, and a rather OK artist too - but more programmers are welcomed to join, as it will make the jam more fun for everyone in the team! Also looking for artists, and people with experience in making sound effects. Comment if interested, even if those roles don't quite fit you, but you'd still be interested in joining!

Here we go !

Happy to be back in the game !

My last participation was in 2013 and I made my last game in 2015, so I will do my best. I'm happy with the selection, the final theme can only be inspiring.

Here is my toolset:

  • IDE : Cloud9 on a raspy3
  • Language : javascript (+ i tried to create my own HTML5 engine, just because)
  • Game design : some paper sheets and a pencil
  • Graphics : Photoshop (+ a color shifting tool i build this week to get a minimal palette)
  • Music will probably be non-existant or very minimal.

I will be streaming, often without mic or camera to stay focused, but you can join me at http://twitch.tv/UnexpectedCodingKiwi

But for now, let's grab 2/3 hours of sleep before the theme reveal. (:

Don't mind me

uhhhh...

Are you excited to see the results? :upside_down:

You are WOLFGUN - the angry gunslinging werewolf

WOLFGUN is a fast-paced and stylized isometric shoot-em-up where you play as an angry, gun-wielding werewolf with a serious rage problem.

Bolt across a mix of haunted house and spooky studio back alleys as you blast through the never-ending waves of vicious zombie mutants. How long can you keep your bloodlust satiated until you’re made into mince-meat?

Stay alive and cap enough zombie foes to purchase special upgrades from the alluring shopkeeper. Increase your firerate, grant yourself a bonus hitpoint, make everything explode on impact. You name it, she’s got it.

I'm using PICO-8 and streaming

https://www.twitch.tv/makscee

Gonna make whole game using PICO-8 and it's 128x128 screen. Coding has never been more fun (kill me)

I'm gonna be making sort of a tetris that rotates by 180 degrees every 10 seconds. It seems fun in my head and making tetrises is all I know
