We're In -- 48 Hours of Father-Son Bonding/Emotional Turmoil !

Howdy folks! I've always loved seeing all the cool games that come out of these but have never had the time or guts to join-in and give it a go myself. Since I just graduated uni and all of my free time is spent sending out CVs and working on tiny portfolio projects, I figured this would be an excellent time to give this whole thing a go, and I'm bring my dad along with; why not!

We're Griffin and Drew, and we'll be taking these 48 hours to create some father-son experiences together, as well as something heckin' groovy! Hopefully the tension and lack of sleep doesn't have us at each others throats. I worked for the past four years as a Unity dev, so we'll be working out of that engine for sure. Pa's an illustrator and uses a lot of physical medium, so in terms of tools I expect that we'll be scanning in some paintings and foolin' around with them in the Adobe Suite.

I'm excited to see what we can come up with, and I look forward to seeing what everyone else puts out here as well. Best of luck, and let's all have a groovy time!

Virtual billboard survey

Google forms link: https://forms.gle/Xq1UZ6Px9Z52wJwD8 Icon.png Virtual billboard is an app that let's you create notes and help you with your projects (like ldjam). I'm trying to release it's demo before the competition starts, so I would like to get others suggestions and opinions. That's why I need to fill in this survey.

Self-promotion

Hello!

I forgot to make some self-promotion earlier, so I'll just do it now.

So, for 3 months already, I've been working on a huge project. The game is called Kråmening. The main idea is that you use a rope to swing yourself higher and higher as you climb a mountain. I've recently kinda halted development since I have 3 game jams on consecutive weekends, but I'm getting back to it. After finishing the main gameplay and menus, I'm now working on the level and art design.

If you want more info or playtest the game, all links are on the game's webpage:

I`m in!

This is my second attempt (first unsuccessful was LD42). This time: plain js, vectr.com, graphics gale, bfxr, caustics3 good luck to everyone. jsec out!

Hope I'm in!

I've had quite the streak, so despite moving to a new place this LD weekend, I really don't want to break it now, and I hope I'll be able to at least make something small even if I only get one day instead of three to work on it!

And I am in.

Hello! I am Jason, I make games for fun.

I been doing this Ludum Dare things since #38 and have this odd desire to keep my streak alive :thinking: (Healthy desire? not sure yet).

You can check out my prior work on my ich.io page and read about my 12 games in 12 weeks challenge on the 12 games 12 weeks blog.

I am planning on live streaming my LD game development and post jam rating over on Twitch. I also live streaming development of a larger game over on Twitch. You can head over, take a look, drop a follow if you like what you see and want to get notified when I go live.

Below is a screenshot taken from my current project (non-final art/models).

Wack

everyone except for Symbiotic relationship and Floating Worlds should be ashamed of themselves.

(unusual magic system is pretty cool to tho, just not the best theme)

(Oh wait... guess what is my setting? :-)

I'm in!

In for my 3rd Ludum Dare!

Didn't manage to finish my last one, hope it's not a repeat!

The new site is confusing.

I had to create a "game" just to post this, then I tried to post a post about it and nothing happened so here I am doing another post about it trying to figure out why it didn't work the first time.

I'm in for the 2nd time!

I skipped the last Ludum Dare but this time I'm in. I will be working in a team for the first time so that will be exciting. During the time between ld 42 and this ludum dare I changed my game engine from Game Maker 2 to Unity. So I still have some stuff to figure out in it.

i'm in.

i'm in for the fourth time and now i'm doing the compo. i'm scared.

sincerely, whycardboard.

Hello/привет/salut

Hello my dear fellows. I am very happy to celebrate with you the next Ludum Dare session which starts in a few days. If I remember correctly, this is my seventeenth participation. Usually I use Unity creating different games - often some puzzle games because this is my favorite genre. However this time, I want to do something different - maybe a paced cusual game or a FPS. I wait the chosen theme. If you want, you can take a look at my projects which had been developed during the most recently LD sessions. Sincerelly I wish you the best developing your own game. Don't forget! Hydrate yourself and have fun :)

Дорогие друзья. Я желаю вам успехов. Я надеюсь, что вы сможете разработать ваш проект вовремя, и вам понравится эта новая ЛД сессия. Не забудь друг мой! Самое главное заключается в следующем - поделиться чем-то с другими, распространяя свой робкий свет вокруг себя, как доказательство того, что род человеческий ты желаешь сжать в объятиях. Наивный человек ли я? Конечно! И горжусь этим :) Скоро увидимся ++

Une dernière avant de reprendre le cours de la journée. Il ne s'agit pas seulement de déblatérer ses habituelles interjections "j'en suis" - il faut que je prépare mon matériel et les différents outils que j'utiliserai pour cette (déjà) quarante-quatrième session. Ce doit être ma dix-septième participation. Juste un mot pour vous souhaiter le meilleur, à chacun, et que tous nous puissions apprécier ces jours en commun. Plus bas, vous pourrez consulter certains de mes précédents projets lesquels furent développés durant les dernières sessions. À bientôt ++
