Ludum Dare 52

Music/audio guy looking for a team

In the past I've probably spent 80% of the time coding/gluing and 20% of the time doing music/audio. This time my usual buddy can't make it and I'm a little burnt out of frantically coding a few months ago, but music/audio is super fun and I'm getting a lot better at it.

So if there is a team looking for a dedicated music/audio person (and uses Unity, and is open to fmod), I'd love to get involved. I put together a portfolio of sorts at https://www.youtube.com/@btkal. I guess ping me on Discord? btkal#5723. I'm also on the LD discord server.

Should "humor" be more generally "writing"?

I've seen similar things posted a few times (https://www.google.com/search?q=ludum+dare+humor+category) and want to throw my hat in / beat a dead horse.

  • I've played some games with great writing this jam and I'd love to acknowledge that (in more than comments).
  • It makes more varied games IMO.
  • I often can't rate "humor" because either people don't try, or when they do it's not my thing.
  • I have played some genuinely funny games! But this is "good writing".

Curious about other people's thoughts.

(I'll also acknowledge that I came into LD late (LD45) so I'm missing history/context).
