So I was just gonna warmup a bit for the next Ludum dare and somehow I got into the zone and well.. I completed a short playable full game called Squares have more fun. So I guess I'm warmed up now :)

It's a game about a square in a platform puzzle kind of game. I really enjoyed making the game and I have ideas on more content that I might work on after the next Ludum dare (or during easter).

Sorry for the small small gap in the music looping but it shows up only in the WebGL build but not in the Unity editor :(

How to play

Play with WASD and space or use an Xbox controller (On Windows 10, MacOS didn't fully work because of differnt button numbers on the controller).

Hit X to show speed run details while playing with elapsed time and deaths.

Hold R for two seconds to restart from level 1.

Play the game at: https://cloud.rhapsody.st/ld46warmup/ - WebGL

So lets have an easter competition and post your best score in the comments (if you can make it to the end)

So I don't want to tell anyone what to do, I just want to share my opinion and personal taste towards LD themes.

I love themes that are as ambiguous as possible and as broad as possible. Themes like "darkness", "sustainability" or "Out of scale" are really good. These can be used in so many ways in either gameplay, visuals or story. For example, "darkness" can play with literal darkness, where you play in some gloomy environment, or you can use it for a horror story. Or it can be a game mechanic where darkness is used to kill enemies with, or be killed by it. Or it can go even deeper like having darkness in your heart or soul, writing a story about depression or sadness.

No matter what theme, I know we will all have a great time next weekend!

Yeah, I started the Warmup Weekend early.

Today I was messing around with animations and a 6 frame run cycle. Now my vikings that run across the screen in my avoidance game actually look like they are running.

Now the pillaging hordes run across the screen.

Feel free to join Warmup Weekend to get ready for the event next weekend! (https://itch.io/jam/ld-46-warmup-weekend)

Seriously love this guy

A month ago I finished developing my personal tiny project with Gamemaker Studios 2. It's a simple top-down shooter where you play as a mage, who annihilates waves of enemies with his powerful spells. Apparently, it was my last project with GMS2 as change it with Godot. However, I still love GMS2, because it helped me to learn programming from scratch.

Hope, you'll enjoy my game.

Hi! I'd like to join to a team, as a composer! (At LD46)

I also tried to be in a team before, at LD44 and Game Off 2019... But in my crowdforged teams: members left few days before the Jam even started... Recently I participated at Wowie Jam 2... I couldn't make the game alone... Even the theme was interesting...

But maybe I can make a game with a team finally! A few tracks of mine: https://soundcloud.com/theoteno

So guys, I would love to know what is your opinion on SELF PROMOTING here on Ludum Dare sites.

So I get that this site was made for Ludum Dare posts. So people who are scrolling the feed here are probably curious about others posts mainly about Ludum Dare, so they can get annoyed by seeing some guy promoting his game. But on the other hand, most of you are probably apart from game developing lovers, also game lovers, so the question is:

Are you willing to overlook the self-promoting posts for the sake of other people, who enjoys self-promoting posts, and like to see on which level are their competitors?

First time I've taken the time to go through all the themes in the slaughter, thank goodness for keyboard shortcuts.

Now do your part too and slaughter the themes!

Sorry if it's a duplicate. Have a productive day :)

Just saying...

[MY OPINION INCOMING, PLEASE DO NOT GET OFFENDED]

So, I know some of the ideas may sound really original and imaginative, but if the theme would win, I do not think anybody would actually enjoy making a game inspired by it. By this I mean for example these themes:

- This theme is literary: "Start with nothing while life is your currency". I mean who would actually enjoy this too complicated theme?

Planning on taking a break from my big project, Battle Pals (pictured below), to participate in the LD! Can't wait to see what people make

Hey, it looks like I'm finally in for another Ludum Dare. I might be able to team up with a few people so I'm probably going to enter the jam.

Tools

Engine: Godot
VCS: GIT with GitLab
Graphics: Gimp
Audio: LMMS
OS: Arch Linux :penguin:

Stay home if you can, stay safe and create some cool games. :tada:

Still working on my Warmup Weekend (https://itch.io/jam/ld-46-warmup-weekend) entry to get all set for the compo.

Focused on putting together a title screen, which I always put off and regret during the competition. I also threw together a 20 minute tileset for the background. Animated the main character and threw everything together.
I also tried loading custom fonts which worked locally but not once I uploaded it to the web, so I learned something.

Next up is saving data locally to track a high score. Then maybe some sounds and juice over the next few days.

Game is here if you want to play it: https://minibobbo.itch.io/warmup-weekend

GameMaker - Good for beginners, but annoys Mac & Linux people

Unity - Powerful & Easy to use

Unreal - Good for pros, brags about it's graphics in comparison to unity

Scratch - Just no

The themes I like usually have to do with numbers (ex. 1 minute, 0, 4 colors, etc.), so those were the majority of my +1s. I started doing these jams with LD36, which was just before I entered high school. Now I'm at the end of my senior year, doing this one.

hello people

I am currently working on the MIDI editor for my music making app. Here are some screenshots:

When you have no patterns

1 Pattern

3 diffrent patterns(pattern 2 is blank so there is no preview)

Any suggestions to improve the UI, feature requests or ideas for the name will be appriciated.

I will hopefully release this app for free before the jam so you can try it out. Now I'll start working on the sequencer.

bye
