A friendly reminder:

don't forget to export your games for the web if possible (help significantly in making people play your games),

linux export is highly appreciated as well for us linux folks

that's all.

is it just me or are the final round themes pretty... disappointing

I know this is just my opinion and I respect everyone's choice..

but damn, I didn't expect most of these themes to make it to the final round, while almost all the ones that I though had great potential are just.. gone, really not satisfied with the results

what are some of your best games so far?

I usually try to play the low ranking games, and give everyone a chance, but since I didn't finish in time in this jam and can't vote, I think it's fair to play purely for fun, so please let me know if there are any super duper fun games out there!

Help me find an old game from LD51

FOUND IT: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/51/shady-business thank you @Wouter52

(this is not a bot), wait that's exactly what a bot would say...

so there was this 3d game from LD51 where you get to drive a boat (it's called driving right? you drive boats? or ride them.. IDK), the boat has two layers so you can get downstairs to bring fuel and there are buttons in the control room you can use to move the boat around, I don't remember much else honestly, but it should be distinct enough. I've been trying to find this game again with no luck, if anyone remembers anything I'd be grateful.

why I want to find it? well I've gotten into making 3D games lately and I'm working on a little personal relaxation project where you get to drive a boat in an endless ocean (yep that's my definition of relaxation lol), and I remember that game being oddly relaxing so I want to borrow some elements and ideas from it, it's just a personal project after all, thanks!

PS: there is a very tiny chance that I'm wrong and the game is actually from LD50, now I'm like 90% sure it's from LD51, but there is a tiny chance that I'm wrong and it's from LD50. sorry I have no better memory than a starfish

Where is that guide about comming up with a theme? I need some inspiration lol

If I remember this right, every LD event there is that one post that goes in depth on what makes a good theme and tries to analyze the past themes or something I can't remember, but I remember that being very helpful last time as it made me realize how dumb my suggestions were lol, wherever you are person who does that, I need you!

is it possible to change my name?

I want to change it but it seems there is no option for that, will that ever be possible?

EDIT: I'm talking about LD not my real life name lol

My splash screen for LD53 :)

man it feels good to have fun doing something I enjoy after a stressful week https://youtu.be/C4Rn0Jz7kOk

I'm going to predict the winner theme:

(hi people of the future when I take a screenshot of this). the winning theme will be......

something to do with controls! like "flipped controls" or "one key for everything", I saw many of these themes and my tingling jammer sense is telling me that the winner theme will be one the these, besides giving how the majority of suggested themes are.. less than ideal.. any good enough theme will have a boosted chance of winning I think. thank you, that's all.

Finally Done!

I was generous compared to the other posts here :)
