TVGS real-world meeting in Troy, NY

:flag_us: Troy, NY, USA

As usual, we'll be responsible for conducting the Tech Valley Game Space real-world meeting this upcoming Ludum Dare. The opening day will be start at 8 PM EST, while the rest of the days, our venue will be open from 10 AM to 10 PM. You can sign up at our Meetup at: meetup.com/TechValleyGameSpace/events/259795159

After the Ludum Dare weekend, we plan on live-streaming ourselves playing Ludum Dare games for two Sundays. Come check us out at twitch.tv/techvalleygamespace! Missed the live-stream? We also post them at youtube.com/c/techvalleygamespace.

Oh, no, not again!

It appears that like the last Ludum Dare, yet another local games showcase will be stealing a day from my schedule. Last time, we ended up making a Ren'py visual novel since it's much quicker and easier to prototype, so I'll probably make a similar approach this jam, but if anyone is interested what we normally would use if we had the full 72-hours is Unity and the base project we've open sourced: bitbucket.org/OmiyaGames/template-unity-project

Documentation is, I admit, lacking; but if anyone is interested in taking a look, the project implements some really cool tools:

  • one-button settings that build to multiple platforms at once
  • WebGL host-checking to prevent your online game from getting stolen
  • pre-made menus
  • pre-made scene transition animations
  • translations framework, supporting Japanese
  • framework for randomizing a sound effect's pitch
  • and more!

TVGS will play your games on Sunday, May 5th, 6 - 9 PM EST

While signing up, come check out the Ludum Dare 45 games created from the folks who joined our real-world meeting! They are:

Primodial

Primodial

Primordial is an interactive tale of creation in the Greek cosmology.

This is the very first game I have ever built alone! This is an interactive tale more than it is a game, but I had such a great time building Primordial that I have definite plans to continue developing it. I hope you enjoy this little game I’ve built and that you’ll follow me on Itch.io for further developments!


Kawhatzithon

Kawhatzithon

In Kawhatzithon, you start with absolutely nothing. So clearly you should run around collecting things you don’t have.


Eleven Days

Eleven Days

The Calendar Act of 1751 declared that eleven days in the following year would not exist.


And of course our very own...

Uballto

Uballto

Welcome to Uballto, a Linux distribution for…distributing balls. That’s right, in this desktop environment, dialog windows are used to guide balls to their target flags. Do you have the technical wits to master this distro?

Made by one individual (and a lot of royalty-free assets).

Omiya Games' Ludum Dare rankings so far

Compared to the last few Ludum Dares we've recently participated, it seems like we're improving on our rankings again. This is kind of funny, given we still kept getting interruptions throughout this Jam like we did the last two jams. Uballto was made with what little free time we could find throughout that weekend.

chrome 2019-11-01 (22170).png

ETA: huh, what happened to the scores for Ludum Dare 36? Just checked Artifact of the Ancients, and there are no scores listed.

ETA #2: While this is a rare edge-case, it'd be nice to file two or more accounts for both the old and new LDJAM site on the LDStats webpage so we can list Unconventional Stick Swinging Simulator on the graph.

Ludum Dare 46

OK, I did it

Behold!

Thinking about learning a new game engine this upcoming jam. There's still a lot of time left.
