Excited For My 4th Ludum Dare! || How Are You Approaching The Jam?

Obligatory 'I'm In!' Post! & Question For Jammers

This is my 4th Ludum Dare, and 7th game jam in total. I've tried approaching jams a few different ways, such as going in with something I want to achieve (like procedural animation), challenging myself to make something that feels really polished/complete, or just winging it.

I'm curious, how do you approach Game Jams and are you trying anything new for this one?

Let's discuss!

Uploaded Bug Fixes | 10 Second Village

Bug Fixes

Fixed a few game breaking bugs and minor quality of life issues caused by bad logic.

Hopefully all is now well! Please let me know if you find any more issues, I appreciate the feedback. Thank you!

Update 0.1.1

  • Fixed bug where tiles continued to rain past the limit.
  • Death screen is now shown when the population drops below 0.
  • Fire / Flood event sound is now only played once. Originally the same sound was played for every tile on fire which became really loud and caused audio issues.
  • Weather tiles can now be placed anywhere.
