Keep It Alive!

I really had my problems getting something out of that theme (after all, it applies to basically every game with a "death" lose condition plus a lot more things), but in the end it was fun, a great learning experience and I'm fine with how my game turned out. Thanks again for the feedback everyone, I'll remember it next LD. :)

But that's not why I'm writing this: The overall #1 games of both the compo and the jam are named "keep it alive" and I (for some reason) find it ridiculously cute. Like the theme named it's first-born children after itself. The results for LD46 will certainly look fun on Wikipedia. :D

Not bad for the first complete game

Github: https://github.com/rongcuid/ld46-keep-it-alive

Really good result for my first LD46, and first game with full gamedev stack finished. Though bare-bones, it does include 3D modelling, SFX, BGM, animations, a cut scene, instructions, and endgame conditions.

I think it really helped when I knew lesser-known interpretations of simple words, that I performed three iterations of brainstorming, and mercilessly discarding every idea in the former two.

Congrats on everyone finishing!

ldresuls.PNG I was really happy with my game for this LD, and I think these scores are a pretty good reflection of that. Extra huge thanks to LordCakSpy who made the music - I'm positive I wouldn't have come nearly as high in that category if it wasn't for her music, you can check out more of her work here -> https://soundcloud.com/lordcakespy

Here's to the next LD!

I made it to top 50!!! Thanks for this LD everyone!

Thanks everyone for all the ratings, support and feedback you gave to my game, Anatomic Mayhem!!

I can't believe I actually made it to top 50 overall (41st!). Even more impressive... I'm in 4th place in "theme"!! That's awesome. Congratulations to the winners!!

Thanks to everyone who played Mage or Trouble!

I am a little disappointed I dropped in overall ratings, but the competition was tough! Had a lot of fun playing everyone's games. Since I play it safe, I'm not surprised that I'm still hovering in the 3.x range.

Let's see what the next jam brings!

Floyd's Fire: Thank you!!!!

Results are in, and I wanted to appreciate the time people took to play, rate and review my first LD game.

I'm surprised by the results, and really excited to try it again.

You can play it here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/floyds-fire

I will continue to work on it, so far, sound as been added and new things will come.

Big thanks to you all, see you in 142 days <3

What happened to the Ludum Dare Games from the Legacy Website Era?

I could've sworn when we transferred to the new site it was linked such that your old games showed up in your "My Games" section, but looking at my page the oldest one I see is from LD41. But I've done LDs as far back as LD26. Is this an error? Is there a way to have these linked back to my account? Please don't tell me all LDs before 41 are destroyed forever.

This is why planning is important

A result reflecting lack of planning. This was my second ludum dare and third jam overall and in this I learned the value of planning and managing your resources especially time with care.

I shared this in my postmortem as well that I went on with the very first idea I had, spent 2 days and then started fresh with a new idea and you can see that showing in the results. Disappointed not on the results, but my efforts. Looking forward to LD47. Congratulations to everyone who participated hope you all had good results.

Distribution of ranked games?

Is there any way to know how many games in a particular mode of LD (jam or compo) have gotten 20 votes and received a rank? There's only the distribution for submitted games, not for those that actually got ranked... Anyone?

Thank you everyone.

My first game jam was a resounding success! You guys loved it, and I loved reading everything you guys had to say. I can't wait to see you all again in October. A huge update for my game is ready to go, just waiting on play-testing results.
