LD20

I’m in… Standing By…

First LD!

Peeps have been trying to twist my arm on IRC for a while now…

Now they’ve succeeded.

 

Might try to do a time-lapse recording for the hoops and giggles of it now that I’ve found this: http://www.sofortbildapp.com/ for my Nikon D90 and this: http://getscreenninja.com/ for my desktop.

Let’s get started!

First: Let's get the art assets ready...

First: Let's get the art assets ready...

Like a Zen Koan it is the themeless theme this time.

 

Does this make it easier? Or more difficult?

This is a great photo! XD

Good luck with the game! Try your best to latch onto elements from the theme (solo, danger, X item)

4:44 in…

I’m 4:44 in (I had to start late) and I have my main props and my main protagonist ready:

The time-lapse caps from my PandaBot entry.

 

 

 

This comes from the Mac App “ScreenNinja” at http://getscreenninja.com/

 

I don’t understand rate entries…

If you click rate entries you get a limited list:

 

Then you have to click “show all entries” waaaay down in the lower left to see all the game.

 

What is this first list? And why doesn’t it just show all the games?

It is a suggestion of games that you should rate first. Otherwise people would only end up rating the “coolest” games, or the games most posted about, etc. They way everybody gets a piece of the action!

It’s like that to prevent raters from browsing through the games, seeking the ones they like or those that already have lots of votes. Basically the norm is that when you start rating, you should rate that randomized list of 20 games first, to ensure that all games get theoretically equally votes/comments. There’s a big problem with people looking up the games they thought to be cool, and voting only them.

Is it randomized? It seems to be the same list every time I refresh or return. That was what was confusing me… It seemed like a static list.

Seems to be a static list which is random for every Ludum Dare participant.

Once you’ve started filling out all the ratings the list will automatically expand so you will always have 5 unrated games on your own list, as well. So once you’re done with the pre-seeded list you can just continue stepwise down through it.

Ah… As I’m on a Mac and more than half (of my list) is Windows Only, which I can’t legitimately rate (and I don’t want to rate N/A or 1 for all cats), my list didn’t refresh.

What is the significance of these?

Funny lozenges ...

????

What do these mean?

Mouse over them (or the space where they aren’t) – it shows you that user’s Coolness percentage.

Bronze is 25%

Silver is 50%

Gold is 75%

LD21

Sad :-(

Can’t make this one. It’s my son’s third birthday this weekend, so absenteeism would be frowned upon.

 

Great theme. Sad to miss it. Catch you all on the flip side.

LD22

I’m in!

I’m in!

I’ll be using Unity3D, Blender, Garage Band, someFXRofSomeSort, Photoshop, perhaps with the helping hand from EZGui if I get any chance to polish it.

I’ll be recording the session using ScreenNinja.

LD28

Do we have April dates?

Do we have April dates for LD 29?

I hate to say that I’m planning that far ahead, but I’m planning that for ahead.

I’ve scanned the site, but missed any future dates…
