So I was playtesting a minor bugfix update that addresses some of the more immediate issues and...

Apparently you can fall out of the world :sob:

Play our campy old school FPS here! :grin:

No usable game list again...

Well, after two years I still don't see any means of searching interesting games using ldjam.com. No search functionality, no paged game list, no resolution scaling(it is pretty annoying to look at game list in tiny vertical strip taking less than 1/3 of screen space).

Am I supposed to search for LD games on itch.io, twitter, anywhere but ldjam.com again?

Is it really THAT hard to implement simpliest paged list like it was on ludumdare.com? (I am not even asking for search functionality, it is probably impossible for ldjam web programmers).

Ludum Dare should be every 4 months

I would like to open a discussion

Here are few points why Ludum Dare should be every 4 months, like it used to.

  1. People are used to it
  2. The event is non-profit
  3. It helps people engineer relationships and ideas
  4. There are no prizes for the event
  5. 4 months don't just FLY BY
  6. People love it. I do, you do, and everybody does.
  7. Game industry is very competitive
  8. Now everybody is just me, me, me, check me out, check me out
  9. You don't have to participate in all of them

Why change the standard?

Sleep is good for you

Congratulations to everyone for finishing the jam!

Last night my brains was overloaded by the bugs that were still present in my game(still submitted it though). Managed to hotfix most of them after a good sleep :) So it should be in a playable state. Try it oout if you have time!

...and if you get lost 30 minutes playing your own game instead of working on it

ld44-screen.png

This wasn't our favourite theme.. during voting we said things like "it's too similar with the previous theme", "no good ideas of making a game on this theme" and we did give it negative score.

But when we did meet up to start working we had two ideas very quickly and I'm glad that we did pick this idea. A tower defense game with a graphical style like Geometry wars. After the first day we had a pretty solid working game.

The suddenly when we added the health pickups we discovered that we kind of had made mixture of a tower defense and a clicker game. At the end of day two it was almost a finished game but lacking music, sound effects and a way to actually get game over and restart the game.

So day three was polishing day. Small details here and there that made the game even more solid in the end. During day three I also started to play the game more and more while testing.. and if you get lost 30 minutes playing your own game instead of working on it that's a good sign, isn't?

What went good

Basically everything.. the flow this time was almost magical compared to previous games.

What went bad

As always so much more ideas that we didn't had time to put in. * drones picking up hearts for you * more upgrades and possible a few more weapon towers * different levels after reaching a number of waves.. the code for different levels is actually in there but no way for switching and no levels designed.

Bugs/issues I wish I had fixed

  • Closing all menus.. it's annoying if they are left open.. especially since you can accidently kill yourself from a misstaken open menu (purchasing something more expensive than your health since the check for cost code was run when opening the menu)
  • Quicker restarts... the intro screen should be skippable.. stupid me!
  • More work on balancing the mob spawner

Can you beat wave 19?

Something happens with the mob spawner and things go crazy.. but I have heard someone at least reaching wave 20!

Oh the game.. it's here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/44/ticker-clicker-defence

Now I need to go back and try to beat wave 19.. I mean to Play and rate other games :)

Seven or Nine?

Why chasing humans for their souls when just one evil cat can provide 9? Or is it 7? It really depends where you are from. In Italy cats are said to have seven lives, but Shakespeare says they are 9.

kidnap your favourite cat and see what misdeeds it can do...

BloodKeep is done (my first LD entry)

Me and a few friends finished BloodKeep last night. This was my first jam, and I had so much fun (though not much sleep). Will definitely be back in October :v:. Now it's time to play your awesome games. If you would like to try BloodKeep, you can do it right here:

Any feedback is really appreciated.

Our second Ludum dare and second little game "Danko".

It was a great experience for our team to work together. We worked very hard and achieved, in our opinion, a good result in 72 hours. And to read pleasant comments, to see how our game is liked by people is the best part of the Ludum Dare. Thanks you!! :wave:
