I guess I have a habit of skipping two jams between contributions now :shrug: maybe only having two per year will sync up better for me!

Anyway goals for myself are to continue refining my time management to make more rounded entries and to hopefully throw together a ~~blocky~~ abstract 3D game for a change this time, theme permitting. I'll probably use the same stack of tools as before even though I said I'd switch to Godot. Shooting for another Compo submission, wish me luck!

Tools: - Engine: Unity - IDE: Visual Studio - Modeling: Blender - Textures: Piskel(if 2D)/Paint/GIMP idk depends how I feel tbh - Audio: beepbox.co/SFXR/Audacity(maybe)

Have fun peeps, can't wait to play your games! :smile:

Looking forward to LD45. People always say that the theme sucks but, why is that anyway? Is it because we have such different ideas about what makes for a fun game, or is it a lack of theme suggestions, or something else?

My theme suggestions:

• Raise the dead
• Alice in Wonderland
• Bollywood

What ever theme we end up with I wish a fun jam for everyone :)

It was a busy week, but we hit the finish line, so here's a post mortem :)

And I also foreshadowed that I will participate in LD45! See you there guys!

I have scored music and sound for films, documentaries, commercials, and several games. My work has also been featured by NPR, Huffington Post, MTV, Grammy Association, Google, Apple and more. Looking find a passionate team to work with and build my game audio portfolio with something fairly polished and presentable.

Rather confusing ...

It says 12:00 AM CEST, but the counter seems to points to 0:00 AM CEST.

Yeah, looks like it.

Just finished another game jam in preparation for it. You can check it out here:

A big complaint I heard last time, is that the theme was too narrow, so most games ended up very similar. So does that mean a good theme is broad enough to be interpreted in many different ways?

Here's where I'm at now, but I expect it'll change lol

One Limit. Yep thats it. Waiting for the gears to start turning to think of more!
And oh here's where that generic "I'm in" post goes (its tradition for me)

I"m in

For the.... *Flipping of pages Fifth time! Anywho... Have fun!

Just gotta finish signing these papers to give away my sleep for a weekend....

Hey, all! TVGS is streaming a lesson on Armory on September 12th, 7:00 PM EST, or right now! You can hop onto twitch.tv/techvalleygamespace or youtube.com/c/techvalleygamespace to check it out! The latter will record the video, so you can check it later if you missed it.

i'm in

see you all there!

:) Might stream or upload a post mortem

• Musician (Wouldn't necessarily have to have good music in it, but just be about a musician or the music business for instance.)
• Deception (Trying to find new ways to deceive the player in some fashion could get interesting results.)
• Leave out one element of game design (Can you design a game without graphics, sound, story, or some other element? Especially if the lack of the element adds some unique gameplay challenge. The missing element should probably feel important to the game, such as leaving out music in a rhythm game, or leaving out story in an RPG.)

This will be my 22nd ludumdare in a row. xD i started at LD24, and am still here :-). I’ll be using these this time:

IDE: Visual Studio 2017 Community - Microsoft

Engine: Otter2d - kyle pulver

Graphics: aseprite/paint.net -david capello/Rick Brewster; Tiled - Thorbjørn Lindeijer; ui lib - myself

Sound: Audacity - Dominic Mazzoni and Roger Dannenberg

Music: Musagi - Tomas Pettersson

Timelapse: Chronolapse - keeyai

I managed to release my silly bubblegame demo on commanderstitch.com if you want to tinker at that. I'm really happy how it turned out and I look forward to finishing all the missing levels. (the four player experience is seriously recommended (local coop, press esc and config all the controls. Pretty epic) I'm kind of feeling like I want the theme to really help me on inspiration on what to make this time around. These have been a lot of fun and you guys have been great to rally around. Good luck on all your entries this time around!

Due to LD's the switch from 3 jams a year to 2, the 7th Alakajam is almost clashing with Ludum Dare this time. The 48 hour jam is held on the September 20-22nd week-end, and we're now in the final phase of theme selection...

...the Shortlist ranking :sunglasses:

Only the top 10 themes (as voted by the community) are now kept, and everyone can choose to rank them in preference order. You can do it here if you're curious. There's also still time to steal them and submit them to LD I guess :smile:

Made my first LD entry earlier this year, looking forward to making my second! This time I'll go solo for greater challenge. Planning to use vanilla JS again; computation shall be my game engine!

Just completed my post-jam version Shape Magnet (LD35), now named Positron!

Please feel free to check it out~ https://nihilaleph.itch.io/positron The source code and OST is publicly available!

And I miiight be in for the next LD! I need to take a rest right now, but I think I will be able to work on something, though it will have to be something quite simple. See you all then!

I'm in!

It's been a while since my last game jam, but this time I hopefully will be working in a team! Recently, while game testing a tabletop design, two testers joined in on the development and we formed a team called South Gate Games. The tabletop game is still in the early stages (we don't even have a name for it yet! :sweat:). Thankful to have access to a Kodak NexPress Digital Press for printing new iterations of the game for testing. Follow our progress on our Twitter and Facebook page.

This will be their first game jam, so I'm hoping for a great theme for us and everyone! Here are mine:

Can't wait for the theme slaughter! :smiling_imp:

This will be my 10th LD! I plan to use javascript.

Also, check out my boomerang roguelite / Zelda homage I just released for JS13k!

Play Bounce Back!
