It’s not my first game jam, but it’s my first LD, so I’m gonna keep my toolset relatively safe:

• Unity3D + Playmaker
• GIMP 2.0
• Bfxr + Audacity

This might be unrealistic, but I really want to try making a game in Unreal Engine 4 this time!  It would be a great trial-by-fire training session.

If I chicken out I’ll just use Unity again, but I I’m not too comfortable with how many Unity games I’ve been making lately. I need to switch things up! Even if the resulting game isn’t great…

Beyond that, I would use:

• GIMP 2.0
• BFXR and freesound.org

Alright I ended up using plain old Unity… well it’s the Unity 4.6 beta, so it was pretty fun (and annoying) trying out the new features.

Anyways, I went with a very minimalist, color-centric design for my game. Simple touch/click and drag controls and fast action to try to get a high score. I’m pretty happy with it!

Check it out! http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-30/?action=preview&uid=36186

Tools used: 
Unity 4.6 beta 
VS2012 for programming 
Bfxr for sounds 
Audacity for sound editing 
GIMP 2.0 for image editing

Forgot to make my in post, so here it is!

I’m jamming with a bunch of awesome Richmond, VA game devs (http://rvagamejams.com/) at the 804RVA coworking space (http://www.804rva.com/). Check out all the games our little club has made, including many previous Ludum Dare entries: http://rvagamejams.com/games/

As for this jam, I already have a cool minimalist idea, but I won’t spoil it here. Look out for the final result!

Tech:

-Plain ol’ JS… might use CoffeeScript too because its fun

-GIMP for graphics

-bfxr for audio

Phew, this was a tough LD! But I somehow managed to get everything in in time!

The game is Super Resizer, which is played in a browser popup that you have to resize and move around to activate blocks and get points!

It’s a really experimental and unconventional control system for a game, and browsers really aren’t meant to be used like this, but I hope you enjoy it. And I really hope no one else had the same idea as me 😛

Tech:

Pure JS with HTML5 Canvas for graphics/gameplay

bfxr and Audacity for making audio

Howler.js for playing audio

Alright for my 4th LD I am going to use a new engine and actually try to make my own music!

I’ll be using:
HaxeFlixel! (all the cool kids are using it)
GIMP 2.0
MilkyTracker
Bosca Ceoil
Chiptone (like BFXR but better http://sfbgames.com/chiptone/)

Let’s see if I can get something relatively playable…!

If you like Persona 5, or Malcolm Gladwell, or have crippling social anxiety like me, you should check out my game The Tipping Point! Easily playable in the browser, you can get the gist of it in about 5 minutes. Try to make connections with all 1000 randomly generated people in this small world (get it????)

7 years since my first LDJAM, I'm so happy to be able to participate in #LD48! Never expected we would get to this

PS: If any Godot experts want to take a look at my code and give me tips/criticisms, I would highly appreciate it! It was my first time using it and I feel like I did a lot of things the hard way.
