"Edge of Ludum Dare" English version is online!

Finally, i have translated my Ludum Dare 47 entry so now you can play in English. There are no more excuses! Check and perhaps rate this conversational adventure which takes place during Ludum Dare...

If you previously played in Spanish you will see it is just the same game.

WebGL Games

Comment your WebGL games below, and I'll do my best to rate them before Tuesday!

Last LD Stream "Early Bird" Celebration!

Due to (semi) popular demand, the Keyboard Cowboys are doing one final stream playing LD games at a time that is not smack dab in the middle of the night for EU folks!

Feel free to submit your games in chat if you would like us to play them! When it comes time to choose our next game to play, we will prioritize anyone who is both on the list and is still in chat.

Otherwise, we still have a dozen or so games that we still need to return the favor on for folks who were kind enough to rate and comment on our game, Dude Ranch.

We hope to see you there! (and sorry in advance...) :pointright: :cowboy: :pointright:

Our intern has lost something, uh, personal...

Oh no! Your newly-hired intern coworker has lost a personal object of hers, and it's up to you to find it! What is this mysterious object, you ask? Well... uh... it's... how do I put this?

This is only one task out of our 6 romance-able routes in the game (each with their own ending too!), so we hope you’ll check the game out and discover a true office romance!

Updates for the final weekend of Play+Rate: bugfixes and UX improvements!

I've brought a gift to those of you still looking to play and rate games this weekend: finally I've gotten around to addressing some minor bugs, as well as responding to some common requests from the comments.

You can play the updated version of A Day in the Woods here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/a-day-in-the-woods

A huge thank you to everyone who has rated and commented so far, I'm almost at 50 ratings, which is by far my best LD turnout yet. Good luck with your games, and don't forget to also browse others' submissions using the "Danger" filter, which shows which games still need ratings to reach 20!

TVGS is livestreaming now until 7 PM EST!

That's right, Tech Valley Game Space is live, playing your Ludum Dare games! We'll be streaming today from 5 - 7 PM EST on twitch.tv/techvalleygamespace and youtube.com/c/techvalleygamespace.

Stix, a game that is definitely not a horror game.

If you are looking for a horror game with a weird monster, jump scares, and am unsettling mood,

Stix is definitely not the game for you.

Playing your games: Encore

Did you submit a game for me to play, but never saw me get to it? Or maybe you're running low on ratings?

I'm live on twitch.tv/Outfrost, playing your games during the last weekend of the Play+Rate!

I'm playing games that are already in my queue (!list), as well as games that have generally caught my interest. If your game isn't in queue yet, and you're low on ratings, feel free to !submit! :sparkling_heart:

I'll play your game ASAP if it's in queue and you're in chat! :speech_balloon: :sparkles:

also bonus points for Linux builds

And if you haven't yet...
Check out Pillars of Anguish!

Penultimate chance to see me play your game!

I'm now live on Twitch for the next 3 hours to play your Ludum Dare games! I'm happy to give constructive feedback or just have fun with it. I’ll also be rating every game I play (but not while I'm live). If you want me to play your game, type !submit url/of/your/game in the Twitch chat.

If you miss today's stream, I'll also be on tomorrow (Sunday) at 3 PM EDT. I hope to see you there!

Behind the Pipes in "A Duck In Time"

Here is my take on the game development on our game. We went through a few issues along the way especially with unity installing on @lovetocode999's hacky computer. Along with a few failed ideas and more!
