Is there any way to get all my data from http://ludumdare.com/compo/author/danidre14/ onto my new profile? (this one)

Also does the streaming service to the right on this site also account for DLive streams? Last time I knew it was only Twitch, but I see Youtube is supported too.

It's been 4 years since I've last entered a game jam! Ludum Dare 29 through to 34 had game after game from me.
Then school took away my time.... :thumbsdowntone4:
*Until now! Highschool's finally over!* :thumbsuptone4:

I've spent the July/August holidays :computer: learning, and have made my own website. A great improvement from the click and drag website I made back when I was 14.
Thus, I finally have somewhere to host all the multiplayer games I hope and dream of making. :open_mouth:
But, there's only one problem... flash is dying! :scream: flash is dying!

Inevitably, I soon learned and adopted Javascript and HTML5 canvas, as it was very similar to ActionScript2.0; so I began working on my own game engine, which includes: - my fully functioning and resizable/scaleable canvas panel - my own audio system **(more on this later) - my own Highscore API (for users with accounts on my website) - my own achievements system [Coming soon: planned to work on it this week]

So....Ludum Dare?

Yes! I'm excited and ready to finally participate in Ludum Dare once again! I'm in!

tools tools TOOLS:

• Software/Engine: Pure Javascript + HTML5 Canvas (I want to learn another engine but haven't gotten there yet. Maybe Unity? Haxe?) :thinking:

• Sprites/Art: Paint.net **(I kinda suck at pixel art) :stuckouttongue:

• Sound effects: SFXR/BFXR/JFXR: **(Very, very, basic sound effects) :laughing:

• Game Music: ~~LMMS/FL Studio/Bosca Ceiol/PixiTrack:~~
  I'm probably going to download free music and sound effects **(if I use music at all) :joy:

Streaming?

I plan to stream the development on Twitch, so during this week, I'm setting that up as well. Be sure to follow me and turn on notifications so you get alerted when I go live.

Team Inquiry:

Part of me highlighting the audio and art is in the brackets. I'm mostly a game programmer: I do coding.
I know this is also last minute, but if there's anyone confident in their art skills/music making and would like to join me for this Jam, do comment below, along with any links to your work. Or, join my Discord Server and connect with me there.

P.S: As this is my first actual game I'm attempting in JS, I'm not even 80% confident in my skills, so don't feel shy to collab...I've got a long history of bad games that I've made from 2014-2016 so...I'm bad too :sweat_smile:
If not, that's alright too, I've survived this 6 times in the past! :relieved:

Important Note If Interested:

As tradition, Saturdays are off for me. As a result, while I will be available when the theme is chosen, I will be officially entering the Jam (not Compo) on Saturday 6:00PM EDT. :sunglasses:

I'm seeing some really weird themes, some repeats, some amazing ideas...I’m sure it will be lots of fun! :grimacing:
But for now, good luck everyone, and have fun! :wave_tone4:

These themes are amazing! Scaringly though, I’m not sure I can even complete some of them in 2 days, so I had to downvote seenoevil I mean…they’re there for the challenge…right?

There are so many themes that should be renewed, but instead reused and recycled pun intended

Some of these themes are too far fetched and limited: What about the 2D artists, how're they to make a first person? What about all the tile-based platformer only users?
Decay? Mutations? Merge? What???

These may simply be biased votes based on my own limitations (and maybe lack of creativity in some areas), so big disclaimer I mean no ill intent.

Still excited for Round 4 however! :sunglasses: I just hope none of these themes get chosen :sweat_smile:

I'm working with @AXLplosion as the artist for whatever game I happen to make.

however....

I've.. never participated with someone before. And...the last time I've created a game was in 2016...
What do I expect? How does communication work? Do we discuss ideas or I just ask them to draw so and so for me?

Obviously, I know some of the answers those questions, but there're still questions like...

"What if I make a terrible game and they never work with me again?" or
"What if they bail on me last minute?"

I don't know, it's just an anxious thing doing it for the first time.

Nonetheless..

I'm excited to see how it goes, and well. What happens, happens. Still...

Thoughts? Advice? Preparations?

I'm a bit ashamed to stream my production, as I mostly google everything.
Even if I've previously used something, I'm always referring back to blogs or code snippets just to get the syntax or any additional parameters.
Hopefully that doesn't bring negativity to any potential viewers:

He's not even making a game he's just googling everything! :angry:

Just in case, I'll make sure to title my stream "Noob Making Game" or something :sweat_smile:

I started Ludum Dare about 10 hours ago, just staring at the screen as the usual. I intended for it to be a brawler. This is how the process went:

'Let's make the box punch'

add enemies instead

'Okay, punch now!'

gives enemies basic movements (random walking or following player's x and y)

'OKAY! PUNCH NOW!'

creates a level/grid

'...punch now?'

adds collision detection

'so..punch right?'

NOPE! Let's create AI pathfinding! :D

'alas! it is time for some punching!'

Hey @AXLplosion, hit me up with those placeholder sprites

What am I even doing anymore :sweat_smile: :rofl:

Jam, remember?

As you know, I'm participating in the Jam, so I've got a little 25 hours left. No rush, besides, I'm almost done! :grin:

Finally awake and going till the end!

Come see me slowly progress @ Twitch

This is my first time participating in this new Ludum Dare, and I was fortunate enough to do it with an artist - @AXLplosion - who ended up whipping together a song as well! Check it out!

Bob the Brawler
