OpenGameArt.org is a fantastic resource for game art. It has thousands of assets, including 3D models, 2D sprites, music, and sound effects, many of which are CC0. If you are doing the Compo, it is great inspiration anyways! I highly suggest you check it out.
My friend and I will participate in LD for the first time. We participated in 1 local game jam before and had a lot of fun. We'll try to take it easy, get some sleep (jeah right...) and first of all have a lot of fun.
I'll be in charge of the coding and my friend will do most of the art. We'll be both in charge of the general game design.
so it's my first time and I am confused where should I register in ludumdare.com or ldjam.com and why there are two websites in the first place
This is so close. Hope everyone achieves what he wants;
Sooo finally! I will be able to participate in this LD. For the first time. Well, that leaves me quite excited - and a little afraid... Haven't been the best with sheduling my time efficiently, basically ever. I guess this will be the perfect practice ground though. Luckily I will have the next few days off, so I may even find some time to prepare and practice.
Although I am not new to coding, creating visual art is still something difficult, new aaand extremeley fun and exciting to me. I already have some experience in sound and music creation - which hopefully saves some time.
For this LD I am probably using at least some of the following tools:
Engine: * Unity (mostly 2D experience, but maybe I'll get into 3D...?) * Twine 2 (w/ SugarCube 2)
Graphics: * Blender (If I'm getting into 3D) * Photoshop
Sound and Music: * Protools 11 * EeastWest digital instruments * (Probably my own guitars) * BandLab's Cakewalk (Free DAW with quite some nice effects and instruments! Give it a try if interested.) * Bosca Ceoil (It's free!! Check it out) * Bfxr (It's free!! Check it out)
I am aiming for the compo, but if that fails horribly I'll go for a jam entry for sure. First aim is to finish my game and have it out there for all of you to rate and review.
Good Luck everyone!!!
This will be my first time participating in a ldjam - solo participation. Idea of submitting a good game, let alone a game is daunting. I will be primarily using Unity as a game engine, Inkscape, Asprite for graphics. Will be one of the best learning experience.
Good luck everyone !!
Welp, first time participating in a LD event... (no stress) We (my friend (@proAFKboy) and I) wanted to participate in LD41 but it was during our exams so that wasn't really possible. I just hope can make something decent, let alone something we'll be able to publish in time. Everything will probably be fine, i hope everyone has a great time! (vomits from stress and excitement at the same time)
As LD42 is approaching it's time for the usual I'm in post. Except it's not as usual for me as I team up for the first time to participate in the jam. My partner in crime is @meldrian who is a first time participant. I'm going to do all the coding and he will focus on the graphics. I'm quite excited to what that separation of tasks will allow us to accomplish.
Lots of fun everyone and have a great weekend.
Getting my office together for the jam, making sure Twine, Unity, and GM:S are all updated. Got my food and schedule situated as well. Moreover I have enough whiteboards, dry erase markets, and board game knick knacks to paper prototype anything that this jam throws at me.
Here's a link to a tool for creating 3d assets: * http://meshpage.org/mesh_tool.php
First time in a year! Using the same tools as usual: eclipse with Java, paint.net, bfxr.net and audacity. One day I'll change it up, I swear! ;)
Greetings from Ghana, I'm super excited and at the same time worried about how I'd do in my first LDJam. I do know how to do a little bit of everything from programming to making art to simple music, and I mean a little bit. I hope this doesn't go badly for me. I wish you all best of luck xD
I'll have to make time to do anything more than an project, but if I'm lucky i can make something up. :)
After putting off the compo for a while, I might give this next one a go (providing the theme doesn't completely suck, which it looks like it might do looking at the voting).
I will probably be using the usual:
Good luck to everyone.
I've done LDJam several times before, but I was unsure how often exactly. So, I looked up Ludum Dare's wiki-page and started checking them off...
Turns out I'm entering my ninth LDJAM this weekend! First time I joined was in april '13 for LD 26 (Minimalistic). Joining for the third jam in a row (40/41/42) equals the 3-jam-streak I had with jams 31/32/33.
Also, I've recently started #1GAM, One Game A Month. So if there's any chance for it, I'll try to squeeze in their Monthly Theme for August - Heat - in as well.
First time doing Ludum dare. this is what i'm going to use.
Unity3D
sunvox
graphicsgale
Really Hope I will complete a project with these.
And hush hosh, 4 months have gone by SO quickly.. Nothing more to say my friends. (I mean not exactly 4 months a bit less yes I know ok ok)
Hi, I have been making games on and off for the last 5 to 6 years and known about the Ludum Dare for a very long time but this is the time I am finally entering. I will be using an engine I have never worked with before and will definitely put a limit to my imagination. I have been holding back from properly using it due to convenience and the daunting task of taking on a new engine but think this is the perfect thing for me to through myself into it. Any tips on time management, the engine I will be using or anything I need to know please let me know. Thanks :smile:
TOOLS
Engine: Gamemaker Studio 2
Art: Aseprite
Music: Garageband
Sound Effects: Garageband/SFXR
How do I get my stream to be shown there? What are the "special tags"?
This is my first time in LD and I am not sure where to choose If I am gonna enter Jam or Compo
