Day 1 Done - My Cute Little World

I am not much of a modeller, so I am really proud of the work I did today.

I am not sure the idea is that strong though. In the game you stand still and shoot down trees. When a tree is shot it explodes seeds to make a few more trees. The goal is to cover a special section of the grass (which I will make pink or a similar bright color) with a certain amount of trees, with as few bullets as possible.

What do you all think of the idea?

All nighter incoming?

Its 3am in Sydney now and the game still needs 4 more levels and a bit of polishing. Might not get any sleep tonight.

Any Australians/New Zealanders looking to team up?

I'm a Unity programmer that made this in LD41.

I'm trying to find someone to do the next Jam with me. I live in Sydney and would prefer to work someone in a similar timezone.

Disappointed With Themes

I was lenient with the slaughter round accepting about 40% of the themes I saw, but I am pretty disappointed with the ones that are left. Most are okay but none of them inspire me to make a fun game (except for one but that still isn't a high success rate).

I know the community was super harsh in the slaughter round but how do you feel know?

Whats the point of the three round system?

Pretty much the title. I would prefer seeing 30 themes at once.

If you want more rounds I think having a round of 100 themes then a 30 theme round then the final 10 would be a better system.

Other game jams?

Hey everyone.

As a big time Ludum Dare fan I'm always looking forward to the next one and I don't want to wait 3 months. Are there any other game jams that have a similar 2 day all online format. The only other one I know of that I think is worth doing is Alakajam.

Any jam teams looking for some extra help?

My solo project wasn't going anywhere, but I don't want to give up on the jam. Any teams that are running a bit behind or want to increase their game's scope let me know and I would love to help out.

Programmer and Artist looking for team to join

Pretty much the title.

Our game fell apart, and I'm looking for a team to join while there's still time to help out.

My discord is JAL#2856 for anyone that's interested
