Hi everyone, this is my first Ludum Dare and I'm excited to see how this is going to work.

Not sure whether I'm choosing between entering in the compo or the 72 hour jam though. I'm a one man team but seeing as it's my first Ludum Dare, I think it might be better to go for the 72 hour jam. Also, how does one sign up for either one?

I'm using Unity and Aseprite. Looking forward to seeing all of the amazing games made this year, good luck everyone! :D

My game is about making sure your birthday party stays alive as long as possible. Am planning to implement a few interesting mechanics that I will show off later :smiley:

The way scoring points works in this game is very simple, the longer you keep the party alive, the better. Therefore, your time itself will be your score!

Thus far I have a timer working, a dialogue manager and interface, dynamic sprite layer sorting, some sprites, and a basic character interaction framework (for lack of a better word).

Started relatively late on this jam, hope I'll be able to submit a fully functional game.

As of now, I made a randomly generated roller coaster with some simple parts.

Here you can see how it's rendered and how it culls the objects so it can keep going forever.

Been working on choosing tracks while the player is "stuck in the loop". My personal interpretation of the topic of this jam.

Basic game loop is basically in here. Now I just need to polish and try fill the game with very basic graphics and gameover functionality and it'll be up for publishing.
