Happy Labour Day!

I have a full day off, so if you have any games you want me to play and rate, chuck 'em my way! Maybe I'll spend the day writing up a post-mortem or something while I wait...

#1 Take out

Sometimes Life gives you lemons and other times Ludum gives us an Overly ambitious Project to do in just 48h. This game was by far the biggest in term of scope that i’ve ever attempted to make in Ludum. In fact there were a lot of first for me, First time trying my hand a procedural generation, first time making a bullet hell , first time working with water color aesthetic, first time not eating for 37h. I made alot of mistakes along the way but I think I grew as game designer, programmer.

This is What I achieved https://youtu.be/lvEbJduNS9s

I would consider this project a half success in many ways, sure I have a game but its not complete. No Music, No Sounds, Not camera shake when taking damage, No Enemy Sprites, No button FeedBack, No more complex generation, no to a lot of things I know I am capable of executing if I had the time.

What I did achieve is beautiful and chaotic only a game made in 48h could be. I am poise to say this project was all about pushing myself to my limit and not holding back any punches. I would have loved to fully realized my vision for this game and push further then that but I only got 50% there.

Looking for native Linux games

The title says it, doesn't it? I'm getting kinda tired with this "maybe runs in wine or maybe it doesn't depending on God knows what" stuff. If you (or someone else) have a native Linux game, drop it in comments and I'll play it. Mint17 64-bit, nvidia optimus.

Meanwhile, my gravity-controlled tetris could use a rating or two. 64 bit Linux/Win, desktop.

4 more votes!

I need 4 votes in my entry discorc, you can try it here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/discorc

Hello, grapes! Come play my game!

I almost have 20 ratings. While I don't care whether or not you like grapes, I do care whether or not you like my game. So play it and leave a rating! Thanks! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/racing-tower-defense

Killing zombies in a classroom?

Hello world!

I've just updated the versions available for my game (web, windows, macos and linux) to fix little possible issues. I had a feedback reporting an issue with the math box losing focus, this should be fixed. I also changed the way scenes are handled so hopefully there is no more music glitches going from a screen to an other.

Original submission is still available to download, of course!

I hope you will like the game if you have not tested it yet!

List of multiplayer games I've found so far

So, as people always insist on telling me every time I make one, multiplayer games have a hard time getting ratings in LD. Part of the issue is finding a second player for a game that is going to be probably only a few minutes long before you go back to poking at one player games. So I'm making a list! This way, when you have some people over, you can consult the list and knock a few of them out at the same time!

My original list was here, but it's been a few days, so I'm creating a new post so people can find it. (~~I'll try to keep both lists updated.~~ This is now the only copy of the list)

Also, if you want me add any games I missed or make any corrections to the list, let me know in the comments.
