LD 44

Hoping for my 2nd LD

Don't know if I'll have the time to enter - but hoping...

Considering these suggestions - but still mull'ing over them2019-03-18_11-59-12.png

Damn....

Any web/browser games to review?

Looking for something to review that does not require install... Hope to have some good examples ;)

Oh and drop by mine if your want to (it's WebGL BTW) LDJam44.png

Learnings from LD44

Well for my part... LD 43 presented the fact that "oh please do a tutorial or at least some kind of help to the player." :smile:

This time around it's feedback on actions. Cleaning up combat systems aka polish on mechanics. Making something that the player doesn't really expect. Consider doing a thumbnail rather than just a screenshot from in-game. Hosting your own HTML build.... Nooooot that difficult and you get to track a bit on it :smiley: (more of a novelty than actually useful)

Feel free to come have a look at my entry - it is by NO means polished enough - but it seems it was much more enjoyable than my last entry. (Well actually only been hobby developing games for about a year and only got to spend around ~15 hours or so on it).

It's here:

Wonder if I'll rememeber doing all that stuff next time or I have to learn some of it again :smile:

Tracking - and yeah Tyskland is Danish for Germany that registered as most popular country

Other Jams?

Hi all, I was wondering .. which other great game jams are out there? If it matters ... I'm on a Unity/Photoshop/Bosca-ish setup (for the jams where that matters - not much idea in participating in a GODOT or Unreal jam :rofl: at least not right now :smile: )

Ludum Dare 45

3rd one... already... no that can't be....

Loving that it's THAT time of year again and Yeah hoping that this time I will have time to do something actually a bit polished.. or maybe challenge myself ... again.. and do something 3d this time - oh well we'll see how it goes :smile:

My current suggestions: It's at the bottom.

Work Life Balance.

Two Perspectives.

For the music - alternatives to Bosca Ceoil?

Hi all, what are the free alternatives to Bosca Ceoil? I would like something a bit less beepy (if that makes sense) - it sort of always reminds me of chip tunes.

Just had a look at the office space for the upcoming LDJam... not good (-> TODO)

... but got the votings down so lets see where we land for the final round; I set a hard limit for 4 themes per round and here are my picks.

Themes.png

I think my top 5 favorites look something like this:

  1. Prisoner

  2. Factory

  3. Shelter

  4. Decay

  5. Night is coming

Funny thing about these - "exit polls" - the theme seem to never be the one that is actually "publicly votes the most".

Good luck to everyone

Uhhhhhhhhhh..........

Unity project set up ... just to save 5 minutes :rofl: New height adjustable desk being installed a bit later... coffee ready... weekend cleared for the most part...

And now... fingers crossed that "Night is coming" pulls through - it'll be the perfect October Halloweenish theme (not perfect for my skill set, but never the less).

Good luck to everybody participating :thumbsup_tone1:

The spread does seem really low - so if it's anything like the previous ones.... it'll be "Duplication" that wins:
