This year marks Ludum Dare's 20th anniversary, but also my 10th anniversary of doing Ludum Dare, back in 2012 for LD23! :tada:

To celebrate I threw together a quick highlight reel of all the games I've made so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIdSMDdkEwE

Looking forward to doing this one! I'm thinking I'll probably code up a game in TypeScript without any framework but as usual I'll see where the theme takes me and whether I'll a different tool. And looking forward to seeing what others create too!

Just quickly putting out the utility code I'm going to start with for this Ludum Dare: https://github.com/Jezzamonn/ld-base

Basically just the helper code for loading images, sounds, and getting keyboard input :) If anyone is also using TypeScript, feel free to use them!

Hi all! I made a online co-op multiplayer game where you work together to stop a rampaging kitty!

The game is a lot more fun if you play it with other people, so to help people get the multiplayer experience for rating it, I figured I'd post about it here! If you're reading this now, come and join me and defend our mouse village!!

Play it here (Web, HTML5)

I got married was yesterday which made it difficult to do Ludum Dare this time... But we leave for the honeymoon in a few minutes and I'm planning on making a game during our flight on the plane, starting now! Let's see how this goes haha

Hey friends! I need just a few game rating to make it to 20!

If you're a programmer, or interested in programming, I'd love for you to try my game. It teaches you programming!

Thanks all!!

I made some little post-compo tweaks to my game, including a new title screen featuring everyone that's played the game so far!

Here's the game if you'd like to try it! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/echos-of-players-past

Hi all! There's a lot of discussion about what the AI coding rules are for Ludum Dare, and more importantly what the AI coding should be for Ludum Dare. As it stands, the I think the best way forward is to channel all those thoughts and opinions into a poll:

AI coding rules poll

Update (10 hours after first posting): The original poll had too many options, so I've removed some to be simpler. The options are:

• ✅✅ All AI coding tools allowed for Compo and Jam.
• ❌✅ No AI coding allowed for Compo. No restrictions for Jam.
• ❌❌ No AI coding allowed for Jam or Compo.
• ❌❌🆕 Separate category that allows AI coding. No AI coding allowed for Compo or Jam.

Hopefully this can be a good data point to figure out what the rules should be!
