I’ll be entering the game compo on Friday but due to real life events I need to miss Saturday. I can finish my second day on Sunday, but is Saturday the last day for the compo and is it against the rules to skip a day?

Thanks

My game is called On The Other Side. There are two worlds which are vertically connected. You can switch between them with the right mouse button, you can also jump with the left mouse button. It’s basically a more advanced version of those jump-over-spikes games. Every 30 seconds a disaster occurs, as of now there are only 3 disasters. Here’s a GIF of the gameplay so far! You might have to click the image to see the animation.

On The Other Side Gameplay

Here are the tools I have used to make this, or will use tomorrow:

Engine: None, coded from scratch in C++

Libraries: SDL2 (and its sister libraries, SDL2_image, SDL2_ttf and SDL2_mixer)

Sounds: BFXR

Music: LMMS

Images: Paint.NET

Oh, and by the way this is for the compo unless I can’t finish it by tomorrow, in which case it’s going to have to be for the jam

This will be my second LD Compo, my first was 30. Hopefully this time I will make something more visually appealing – this time I’ll use a game engine rather than writing code from scratch and focus more on the game design, sound and overall aesthetics.

So far I haven’t decided what engine I’ll use, but it’ll probably be Game Maker: Studio. (Or Unity if I learn how to make 2d games with it.)

I wish everyone luck!

I decided a good idea to practice for LD31 would be to recreate my previous entry.

There’s a noticeable difference between my LD30 entry and my practice one.

Happy LDing!

About 9 hours of solid development, and that wraps up today. Tomorrow I hope to add some more powerups, variation of enemies (i.e. enemies with guns) and a final boss for wave 25.

The game is called Ludum Fortress

I’m proud to announce I’ve just submitted my LD Compo entry!

And here’s a screenshot.

This will be my third *main* Ludum Dare compo.

Tools of the trade:

• Language: C++
• Framework/Library: SFML2
• Audio: bfxr/LMMS
• Graphics: Paint.NET, Pyxel Edit

I will probably silently livestream my development. Good luck to all!

– Ethan

I’m in for the 4th time!

To be honest I haven’t really done much (or any) game dev since the last Ludum Dare as I’ve been busy with web related projects, but hopefully I can produce something half decent this time and get back into the exhausting but rewarding world that is game development.

My tools, as usual, are:

• Language: JavaScript / HTML5
• Framework: None
• Audio: Bxfr/LMMS
• Graphics: PyxelEdit/Paint.NET

See you on the other side!

C++, SFML, Thor

(My game will contain more effort than this post)

(hopefully)

It’s not much, but it’s as best I could do with only one day since I had other things to prepare for the next day.

It’s made with C++ using SFML and Thor libraries, check it out
