Ludum Dare 46 April 17–20, 2020

ARRHYTMIA Postmortem

This is a bit overdue, but I wrote up a dev log about Arrhythmia, my LD46 submission. The process of making games and the challenges within interest me a lot. If you want to read about the thoughts and challenges that I went through up to the release of Arrhythmia, you can check it out here:

Please Help This Game Get Rated (not mine)

8bitcharlie needs your help, only 3 more ratings to go.

The game is HTML, no engine, it will not take much of your time so please help get it rated. I liked it :-)

Lack Of Time

So! It looks like I might not have enough free time to play and rate enough games to get my own game to 20 ratings. I will do my best to rate more games in the time remaining, still.

But to be on the safe side, I will drop my game right here. (I only need about 5 ratings.)

Me And My Horse

I'm really happy how things turned out this LD, and I'm even considering making a re-imagined full game out of this concept, with better... everything! Like a small, short and sweet Metroidvania. Different story. Better mechanics. Better art-style. Feels like a perfect project for where I'm currently at in life. We shall see!

Were so close to 20!

Hi guys!

We're so close to minimal 20 votes! If anyone want to help us, here's the link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/terrarium-zen :v:

ps. We're going to publish version 2.0 at the end of game rating, with all missing feaures :smile:

Sales Pitch

Are you still looking for a game to test? Running low on hard disk space? Only got a few minutes to spare?

Why not try "Keep It Alive"? It plays in the browser! Its short, but sweet?

Keep It Alive Some people have had problems playing the game, if you have problems, try the game in Private/Incognito mode.

The final push!

Only 3 days remaining!

YOOO! LET'S HELP!!

Become a HERO! GO BEYOND, PLUS ULTRAAAA! And save the games that are still in the danger zone! :fire:

The crushing dissapointment of an unfinished game

I was so looking forward to this Jam. I had never been in such good shape to make the most of it. Usually I have some work on that takes away precious hours or means I cant take part at all. This time with lock down I was both feet in and no distractions. Many things contributed to not finishing and I have done the required reflection to understand what had happened. The most brutal part of not finishing is that it wrecks the play and rate experience. In many ways it renders it null and void. So I decided to channel my energies into getting my first game onto the play store. I have got it up as an Alpha ready for it to be put through its paces. This game started as my warm up for Ludum Dare 45, unfortunately a late work offer took me out of the running for that jam but I have carried on working on Flailing Hips ever since.

Flailing Hips is a Ragdoll combat game on android. Someone said its a Ragdoll Soul Calibur love child and I guess that just about covers it.

If you fancy helping a LD Brother out then I would love to add you to the Alpha testers. Email me your google play store email to flailinghips@amancalledarron.com

Don't do it at the expense of playing and rating, but if you are in need of ratings let me know and I will play your game. Just promise not to look at my entry!

Peace to you all and I really look forward to October.

Up for a challenge?

Fair warning: this is one of those you're-probably-going-to-die-a-lot games. I hope it's also in the it's-quite-satisfying-once-you've-mastered-the-mechanics category though!
