I'm In (But Also Please Help!)

Hey Everyone, I'm In! This is going to be my third Ludum Dare but my first one with a team and my first one on the new website. Could somebody please walk me through how to coordinate submitting a game with my two teammates on this website? The "Join Event" button says this "If you are a Team Member, add your Team Leader as friend, then ask them to add you. You need to make or join a game before you can create blog posts! When your team is done, you Publish your game (not before, thanks)." but what does that mean? I don't see any way to have friends on this site and how would one go about joining a game?

Thanks so much, Shade

I'm Covering LD 44 on YouTube

Hey Everyone! I'm starting a Youtube Channel about Game Development and thought that LD 44 would be the perfect time to launch. I'm going to be covering the the entire Jam from now all the way through to the results. I'll be covering my journey, giving advice, and playing other peoples games. Here's my video about how to prepare for the event.

Why do we Hate the Themes?

Okay so everyone seems unhappy with the theme voting. This isn't exactly news but I've been thinking a lot about why this happens. I mean the process is totally democratic so it should be pretty fair right? Here is why I think the theme voting is such a firestorm.

My Ludum Dare Experience

Well that was quite a ride, as always. I worked with two of my closest friends and I think we made something pretty weird and cool. Here's an analysis of how the event went and what I learned for the next one:
