hey folks, december will be my first official ludum dare. so i was going to do a practice run for the compo this weekend, but instead i did my 48hr comp run with this fusion event.

my fusion games are super mario and altered beast. this is my first time doing anything like this, and i was a bit worried that i wouldnt be able to produce anything useable at the end. well turns out that i can produce something playable.

check out the game, its called super beast. its in the unity webplayer right now. i spent like 6 hours today trying to get the webgl to work, but i couldnt. so i ended up settling for the webplayer.

You’re free to use 3rd party Artwork/Music/Audio assets, or assets you previously created, but we ask that you OPT-OUT of the respected voting categories (Graphics, Audio). You can opt-out of a voting category when you submit your game.

So if i personally create artwork beforehand, do i still need to opt out of graphics, even though its my personal work? Because it would then be 1st party, and not 3rd party.

Had a rocky start to the compo but managed to pull this off

check out my game

This was created by the ludum dare community for the ludum dare community, but i wasnt sure if this was posted or not.

So here it is.

• Control the environment not the player
• not floating islands
• please not shelter

theres this program https://tidalcycles.org/index.php/Welcome

it makes music from code, my question to you all is code samples for this program that makes music considered base code, or would i legally be able to copy code snippets to use in my music for the 48hr compo.

im unclear if this is cheating or not, so let me know what you guys think.

• control the world, not the player
• non standard controls
• limited to mouse controls

This is a 3D platformer game inspired by flappy bird and celeste.

I took the plunge and decided to do 3D this time around and the risk paid off.

I can actually walk away happy with the game that i produced.

Give the game a try and let me know what you think :D

As the title says, i added a web build, but its really laggy and can be buggy. the resolution is smaller so it can play better in the browser.

Going to use p5.js and maybe some physics framework in javascript for my game this time around. Will be interesting to see if i can get it done in time :D

Can we use any assets for the extra, or do we have to make everything from scratch? If we have 2-3 weeks to do the extra, how will we be able play and rate compo/jam games when we havent finished a game yet, not to mention if we take the full 2-3 weeks for the extra game, when will we have time to play other ppls games.

I will be doing the extra regardless, but this is some things floating around in my mind about it right now. if you know any of the information let me know thanks.

Hey guys just need 2 more rates on my game.

If you got a game that needs to be played, rated and feedback let me know ill do the same for you.
