I’ve never done Ludum Dare before, and the only other Jam I’ve done was GameBoy Jam 3 a few weeks ago. So I’m super new to this.

I’ll be using Construct 2

I’m hoping to create music and sounds with FLStudios if there’s time.
I’ll be happy if I get anything working in the 48 hours.

Best of luck to everyone. :)

What is “Submission Hour“? (Sorry, this is my first LD)

Just asking because I have been trying and failing to get my game uploaded to GameJolt for about 30 minutes now. :/
Does this mean I’m out of LD compo?
Every time I try to set up a new game it just puts me back on the dashboard page, with no new game profile to add distributions to.

—–Edit:
Well, I figured out the problem with uploading to GameJolt.
As I suspected I was doing something derpy, but it took me until now to figure out what it was.

I kept forgetting to set one of the fields that I thought was optional. I didn’t realize it because rather than indicating that I’d missed a required field, the form just sent me back to the dashboard. And as you can imagine the closer time got to running out the less I noticed any details.

Finally got a web deployed version of Lucid working. :)

It has a low FPS detector, so it will automatically let you know if your browser will be able to run it at full speed. If not, it recommends either the “Quick Play” option or the desktop version (no install needed). Chrome seems to work best so far.

On GameJolt, the “Download” button will provide links to the 48-hour version, the 48-hour source code, and 72-hour version. Please note that the web version is the 72-hour version.

Lucid :D

Look at spooky circles…

Hop around at speeds slightly faster than that of a typical bird.

Dramatically overshoot your objective, and pretend it was all part of the plan.
