Soo... After reading the title you know already pretty everything u need. Yea. I'm gonna probably use one of those engines, but it all depends on the theme of the jam:
Gamemaker: Studio
Clickteam Fusion
Twine
And thats all. I wish you all luck.
Leave a comment below with details and links to your real world gathering.
Don't forget to tell us where in the world it is too. :wink:
That is all.
That is all.
Hello everyone!
I am the hoster of a game jam called Geta Game Jam, in which we also run a Discord server alongside it. I need a group of people with community management experience to help moderate the server. If you are interested, then comment below.
Here is the Discord server, if you are interested: https://discord.gg/TnM9EG9
The time really flies!
Again, I will have little time to make my game, but I will try. I don't want to break my combo!
I will have very inspirational Saturday, but with no access to internet. I hope to have my idea complete by then and spend the Sunday coding without any major breaks and fails.
I thought about using Scratch this time, because, as I found out, it is actually quite powerful, but probably nah, I will stay with JS.
My arsenal:
I have some ideas for the game in mind, let's see if the theme works with them.
I am hoping to create something small and original. And simple, but clever. I would love to make some small engine building thing perhaps.
I am so, SO glad I don't have to join the compo. If that choice wasn't there, I'd be screwed. The Compo sounds really, really hard.
Anyway, lots of people appear to be spilling the info about what resources they're using to build their games. I won't be doing that here, and not until my game is released (full credits and docs in the game) but it is good to see that The Jam lets people get away with things like Unity and LOVE. I kinda... have to use LOVE. That's not a bad thing, and I can always upgrade, but it really is my best shot, and the one I've researched longest. Everything about my setup will change once my first game is complete.
I like Love-dot-Physics. Coding practice is a delight.
Let's just say a LOT a themes met their fate because of me
Hopefully I didn't spend all this time slaughtering themes for not (aka, hopefully the theme doesn't SUCK!)
Which theme did you find the best?
Me along with ptmutant and unshift are participating in ludem dare 41. We will be using Java and LWJGL 3.
I'm in for my third Ludum Dare and for the third time in a row. It's so addicting! I hope to have enough time and coffee when it starts, but it looks like I could have right now. 😬
Also, I have finished the theme slaughter! Maybe I should have kept one more to make it an even number, but I think I was generous enough, looking at how few themes most of you guys kept. 😄
So lets hope for a good theme and I wish all of you an interesting and successful Ludum Dare!
I will be participating for the first time in Ludum Dare and I am very exited. Together with friend we will join jam version. I am writing extension code in C++ for blueprints to make basic stuff quicker (some basic math that looks hideous in Blueprints).
We will be using Unreal Engine and Blender for modeling. But we have one major void in our skills... and that's audio (and music). Do you have any suggestions on what should we use and learn in remaining week so we could have some basic audio (to avoid using sounds from internet)?
Moved my plans to tomorrow so I could have time for ludum Dare! Girlfriend one week, Ludum Dare the next 😎
I was excited about participating my first LD but unfortunately i have school in Sundays ):
Does anyone know about alternatives to LD? The idea of a 48h game jam sounds really nice.
Am I the only one having issues preparing for this LudumDare event? I'm in panic mode at this time, my base code is hardly there (definitely going in blind) since I'm planning 3D. Hoping I can make some form of racing game, but will have to see if that prevails once theme is picked.
Still needed: - Basic entity management - Entity to Entity intersection testing (AABB/Sphere) - Running a dry test to ensure things should work well
Desired: - Cleanup of the Mesh object. - Automated live web-builds for live playable version of game (for stream - Hot-loading json Configuration values into my framework.
Anyone knows when the theme slaughter round ends?
IM IN!!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
Preparing for my 3rd LDjam (Second COMP)! Going to push myself to make fast decisions and focus on Design + polish.
There once was a humble game jammer,who dreamed of a Dare filled with glamour.
But when he saw his screen,
he cried "I hate this theme!"
And he smashed his PC with a hammer...
Happy Ludum Dare everyone! Let's hope for a good theme! May you keep you're stress and/or rage in control. :joy: (Please note, I have never, and will never smash my PC out of rage. :yum:)
Heheheh. I hope I don't totally fail like last year. Heheheh. Looks at 'Ancient Terror' and shudders Uuugh.
