I missed the last two LDJAMs so I’m super excited about this one. This time I will probably be doing VR since I’ve been doing a lot with that lately, but I’m not sure until I see the topic and come up with an idea.
Good Luck everyone, and follow me on twitter (@joeld42) for updates.
I have a title now — “Alien Construction Skills VR”
Progress continues. I now have 5 playable levels and the game is sort of fun. Now on to making it look good and stuff. Follow me on Twitter (@joeld42) for more updates.
I’ve finished a Post-Compo version of my LD36 game. Check it out if you have a Vive, and tell your friends. It’s free (or rather pay-what you-want, tips are appreciated), but I’m mostly after getting as many people as I can to play it. I’m working on another VR game right now and I’m hoping to learn from this one about marketing, discovery and what works for players. If I get enough downloads, I’ll add some more levels. (If you have any ideas for good levels, let me know).
Help me spread the trailer far and wide!
Thanks again! This game wouldn’t have existed without LudumDare!

I have no idea what my game is going to be. I have a couple of fallback ideas maybe. But I can draw stuff at least. Trees and orange rocks and stuff. Going to get some sleep now maybe a good idea will reach me in a dream.
Allright, looking forward to this one. I have a reasonably clear schedule and should be able to get something going this weekend. I’ve copied in an some basecode and I already have a window and some stuff drawing in it…
(just placeholder graphics will have to replace them).. yay 4000 random trees.
One exciting wrinkle is I’m using the Oryol engine for the first time, which seems like a great engine but it’s not really suited for a game jam unless you already know it pretty well, which I don’t. But my main goal this time is to learn it, so that’s good. (Note: for game jams in general I reccommend Raylib, it’s powerful, fast and super-productive. I would be using that one if my goal was mainly to finish a game. 
).
Anyways, good luck everyone! Not really sure where I’m going to go with this theme but we’ll see…
Heine recalling his meeting with Hegel in Berlin. Heine, expressing his appreciation of the night-sky, was met with this response from Hegel:
‘The stars, harrumph, the stars are only a gleaming leprosy on the sky.’
(Quote found on the the m. john harrison blog.)
This is my final entry to the non-existant test compo. Enjoy not playing it.
