We're @ArcaneRituals, more specifically @HexyVexy and @AR__Teddy. We've made some Video Games before, but we're entering our first Ludum Dare (and jam in general!) to try and work on our scoping. We started working in the pandemic, so this will also be our first time working in the same physical space for the duration of the weekend! Can you tell from the exclamation marks I'm a little excited?

Rob will be working on graphics, writing, design, and general production.

Teddy will be working on code, music, and design.

Wish us luck, I can't wait to see what everyone makes!

Hey, my teammate @teddyreid and I are going to take a look at a bunch of entries tomorrow night over at https://twitch.tv/ArcaneRituals If you'd like us to take a look at your entry (or if you've seen something cool and under-seen) let us know in the comments below!

We've been blown away by the reception and feedback for our entry so we thought this would be a fantastic way to celebrate and showcase some of the excellent work done here. That and we need to dust off the old Twitch channel :laughing:

Right up to the wire, but we did it! Now to rest up before a big day of playing entries tomorrow.

Nice to finish at a reasonable hour (in our timezone) this time, but I still had a lot of sleep to catch up on. Neat to give our game a quick playthrough this morning, the Itch store works great on the Deck (and you can add the games to Steam for play outside desktop mode). Any controller-based games I should look at? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/beanstalkers

Drop your entries in the comments below, we'll be live on https://twitch.tv/sir_vulpe from 19:00 GMT

While you wait, why not give Beanstalkers a try. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/beanstalkers

Mount an arcade action defense against encroaching veg with a variety of spells and mystical objects! I'd love to know what wave folks get to.

@TeddyReid and I are rearing to go. 1200->151->98 overall, lets see if we can keep the streak going this weekend! Ginny the hound is ready and standing by for emotional support.

Make sure to check the Danger filter and review some games to make sure as many folks as possible can get the 20 reviews required for a rating.

Look forward to seeing you folks tonight, these are always fun.

Excited to once again deal in reckless overambition with my partner in crime.

Our entry is a card game-based roguelite about combining reagents to summon over 25 different creatures to do your bidding. Traverse 3 worlds, buy upgrades, defeat the bosses, and get your money back from the magical crime syndicate! Did you also make a card game? Let us know, we'd love to take a look-pop a link in the comments!

This time we made a game based on the iconic "To A Mouse" by Robert Burns, featuring tight high-speed platforming levels and a fantastic rendition of the Scots poetry classic. Check it out!
