Straight from the cavern! We’re finally entering the ever evanescent Ludum Dare… after years and years of calendar conflicts we can finally join! We’re gearing up to go, are likely to use UE4, and can’t wait to see the theme! We got an artist, a programmer, a musician, and a voice actor. Plenty of stuff to go around, one might say!
Ok, so that’s about it. See you Friday! (Or Saturday, depending on where you live!)
Albeit with a rougher, scaled down version when compared too our goals, we were done right on the 9PM (3 PM for me). But we couldn’t get the Unreal project to package up. There is the source of course, but uploading it took so long that we missed the deadline. As a result the entry is sort of empty. I’m not sure what to do next about that.
I’ve been trying various things to get the Unreal packaging process to work, so there is hope yet! But I don’t know what to do about the incomplete entry.
Glad it finally came together in the end. The game page has all the information you could want:

But man, I hate Unreal. I mean, I love Unreal, but I hate Unreal. Also my internet connection.
You can find the entire trilogy (LD34, LD35, and LD38) here: http://www.echoteam.org :D
I've been waiting 5 Ludum Dares for this!

Apart from some cryptic message I didn't really spam my jam game here, but I just finished my first post-jam version of a Ludum Dare game, so it's party time! Feel free to check it out, and/or play and rate the original. I'm sure there's other games that still need ratings though, so check those out too!
Could've been a compo game perhaps even... if I didn't watch so much Netflix :wink:

Use the 3 mouse buttons and the scroll wheel on the things you place and you'll figure it out! You can also remove things by pressing Delete while editing them.
Haven't done a great deal on day 1 but there was one thing I had been wanting to do since I got myself one of these for Christmas...
In Unity, you need to build for Linux (which you can do on Windows, macOS, or of course Linux) with Auto Graphics API set to off, having only the Vulkan API in the list. You can get the resulting build on the Steam Deck fairly quickly and easily by using the SteamOS Devkit Client, which you can download on Steam. For best results, test your game in the editor at 1280x800. I haven't looked yet at how to get the more fancier controls working, but the standard controller stuff works as expected. One could always use a controller layout, but it would be fun to have some kind of native support for the trackpads and the gyro at least.

Someone found a security vulnerability in Unity starting at version 2017.1 all the way up to now. It was critical enough that Unity sent everyone an email about it and coordinated with various other tech companies to remediate its potential effects. One should probably update their Unity if one is planning on using it this weekend.

Quite the opposite actually... there's a building-wide power outage 😐
Stay tuned!
The power came on after lunch so we gathered all our motivation together and went for it! More is to come...
Looks like we're going to need that third jam day to wrap things up, but here's a sneak peek...
It is done! The work has finished. Some work it was! Play Deep In Debt right now, right in your browser!!!
