Hi all, this is my first LD Jam and wondered about what you guys do to prepare. Any tips would be uber helpful.

Just thought that may be useful

Second Solo Game Jam, First LD Game Jam

I will be using Unity, Aseprite and Probably Audacity in combination with a piano

All tips are useful, like how to prepare, when/if to sleep... etc

And halfway, I have only made a funny alking ragdoll man, great use of time

I was just looking through some games and wondering how to rate them, as I can't see any way to on the pages. I am new to LD so I may just be being a bit stupid. Can we only vote when the Jam ends?

I have made a very unpolished game, but for my first LD with a theme I could not get my head around, I think I did good. Also my favourite mouse broke down while I was programming :( --RIP-- Leadsail LX-002 I will miss your tiny click sound...

Preferably with your head still attached: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/you-think-you-can-escape

What happens if you do not get enough ratings?

Hey guys, please have a quick play, I only need 7 more ratings https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/you-think-you-can-escape

This is not my game but it is SO AWESOME and deserves more attention, Function F: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/function-f awesome original idea and really fun to play :D

I was really hoping for some themes with good game mechanic ideas this time. I'm rooting for side effects, but let's see what happens
