Getting this excited/scared feeling. Like 98% excited, 2% scared. Could be more. It could be 98% scared, 2% excited...
Do you need to enroll to participate or do you just submit once done? If anyone knows :)
Just got through the entire list ... A LOT of repetition ;)
Is a top 5 or 10 or something show up before the final theme is announced?
Hi all,
I was just wondering - how much and where to upload...
I plan to just put my Unity Project folder (incl. sound and gfx) and a complete build (from Unity) on OneDrive and publish a shared folder (shared for 2 months or so). I intend to share both as Zip-files.
Would this qualify under the Compo rules?
Have a nice day all :)
Did the Fragile/Invulnerable become just fragile - don't seem to remember a fragile only ;)
Is it me or has the theme potential gone up in round 2 ... feel free to say the opposite ;)
Game of life/psychology. Dessert game - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floatingisland(dessert) - might just be used as backdrop to the actual game. Game with old American cars. You could even do a life in a toilet simulator... (rofl)
Betting there are loads more ;) Have a nice day :)
Go go go 👍👍👍
Well took this one a little more by impulse... so here we go ;)
It "forgot" my text... wups ...
Is it okay to use standard fonts? or do you have to create your own?
Picked up some numbers during the voting and to me.. it seems that either Making Connections or Break the Cycle might be ahead. This is (still) my first GameJam and I have only been fiddling with Unity for around half a year - and only in my sparetime. A couple of things I thought about - do you guys have a set game type even before the theme is finally announced? (Building game, Top down shooter, small strategy, fps..) or a couple of candidates - On the whole 2d/3d decision - I suspect you have a preference up front?
Furthermore.. I'am a bit worried about the technical issues from last time around - It sounded like a lot of people had issues - how soon before the deadline do you start uploading? Do you upload an intermediate build (just in case)? What failed? was it the description part of it (on ldjam) or the external site (whichever you chose to use).
Sorry about all the questions - it's just that... I only have one goal for this first jam - a successful upload and hopefully... a ranked game.
Sorry if the formatting has gone haywire.. just copied from word?!?!
Automation (0)
I would be worried about this being AI heavy – but as well as the others – this would be interpretable – could be used as a story part instead.
Break the cycle (-1)
This one I struggle a bit with – but that comes down to lack of game dev experience; I can think of a couple of things.. but wouldn’t have time for them
Control the environment, not the player (0)
A bit divided on this one; Might also be a bit difficult with my skill set; But doable – if I can avoid a too AI-ish implementation for the “player”.
Each playthrough builds on the last (-1)
Another mentioned scope creep on this one – I would have to agree.
Everything grows (0)
If you literally have to make everything grow here – this is a definite -1 – however if it’s ok to fiddle around the word everything it might actually be ok.
It only changes when you aren’t looking (-1)
Gut feeling on this one; not sure it would be a fun theme.
Sacrifices must be made (0)
This could be fun and doesn’t lock down too much on the mechanics; Also doesn’t dictate game type.
Absorb your enemies (0)
This would cause the need for specific enemies … or you could do some interpreting here as well. (Time could be the enemy … level filled with clocks and you need to carry out some tasks before time runs out and the speed of that is dictated by the number of live clocks)… Oh well – we’ll see.
Darkness is your friend (-1)
With @birdwards on this one. Probably a LOT of stealth games.
Don’t trust the game (-1)
Just no.
Magic, but at what cost? (-1)
Setting would most likely end up being pretty similar across the board – it would probably involve a lot of people with pointy hats.
Making connections (1)
This could be fun – not sure if my brain would melt down during storming but could be a possibility. Gut feeling says this would be fun though. My favorite I think.
One item, many uses (-1)
I’am not entirely sure on this one – “many” is kind of a big word.. would worry a little about creeping here as well.. and with my skills .. holy moly
Take one, leave one (1)
Mostly just like “Making connections”. Although not the favorite. For my brain it does restrict the possibilities a bit.
Two connected worlds (0)
For me this is a restricted version of “Making connections”.
Evolve (1)
This would most likely be a good theme for my current skill set; Not saying it would be easy but I guess .. a bit more manageable. Jinx jinx jinx
Excited to see what other people think about the categories. For most of the above it’s based on gut feeling.
Hi all,
I would love to change my nick name - and it kind of looked like you could message Mike (@pov ?) (but I'am guessing he's quite busy at the moment) - is it the only way to change it?
It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum... and I'am all out of gum
... and now seing your sneak peeks - needless to say .. unsure of own efforts and all that.. but will check the water temperature ;) Have a good second day when you get to it.. And yeah - guess I took the theme really literal :rofl:
Hmmm pictures go missing .....
And the sketch
Ingame-ish
video capture for presentation -can see that greenshot should do
Hi all,
Just uploadet the first build - but not done by a long shot :smile: still if all else fails - it'll have to do ;)

Good luck on the home stretch!
Hi all,
This is my first "real" project and I'am a bit uncertain if I have submitted correctly for COMPO? I would love som feedback - and rather some constructive critisism rather than yes men ... Give it your best shot
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/43/wanyudo-island
Hope everybody else came through with their projects.
A quick screenshot from my game - and of course everything is by hand .... and I am by no means an artist.
I'll try and rate your game back if I can - I'll use at least the next two hours and maybe a couple tomorrow as well - hope to try as much as possible.
Have a great night (here it's about to become 1:00 am)
Sleep tight :smile:
Like I said - quick ;)
Hi all,
I'am trying to harvest ratings - to the best of my abilities and would love for you guys to find holes in my cheese :)
Have a nice day, evening, morning, afternoon or whichever may apply
Hi all, Just had a look at my ratings.. actually pleased seeing as my first goal was to actually deliver a game - second was to not finish last... and I don't think I did - but are there any way of telling out of how many 482nd is? And yes I know it's probably a horrible rank :smile:
