Well, Small World was NOT my ideal topic for this jam. And for a while I was scratching my head. At about three or four hours in, I found an artist to join me and we brainstormed a mermaid game. Hopefully it will be the only mermaid game in the competition, but we'll see.

At least it should have a twist that people will enjoy.

I'm tired already though... but there's so much to do!

Or not. Visual Novel creator hoping to make something different this time around. Should be posting stuff on Twitter @yojammerjammer.

Going with something really basic. But whatever.

Our LD40 game has all the cheesy Christmas pickup lines! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/smooth-lines

I discuss it in the above video. Super excited for the next LDJam with how fun this one was!

Jumping on the bandwagon. Smooth Lines is here: https://godline.itch.io/smooth-lines

Thanks to everyone that rated us! 7th in humor was TOTALLY not what we expected. I'm so pumped. Especially because I forgot to add the humor section for two days or so after we put it up!!!

If anyone wants to view the bonus Christmas section, I'd suggest playing it within the next few days because after December you won't be able to access it again for a whole year!

Needs some love.

THANKS IN ADVANCE IF YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT.

That took forever to make up. The jam is more than half way done and stuff is slow going but yay? We're on ldjam.com!

Hope everyone enjoys when we get it up. (that's what she said)

Any troubleshooting, let us know! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/44/big-tiddy-goth-girlfriend-a-tale-of-romance

It was a little bit later than the deadline of the actual jam since there's more jerking around for Google Play but now it's up there with the other 10 or so Ludum Dare games in history that are up on there.

If you want to play it though it's here as well: https://godline.itch.io/big-tiddy-girlfriend-a-tale-of-romance

We still have the original version up that we made in time for ldjam but I finally got the game voiced (which we ran out of time to do) and put that version up on the page as well. If you want to give it a try, let us know how you found it!

This one hit me hard. Bug fixes and all those other fun stuff... it feels good though. Though ldjam games never feel quite done yet. Anyway, Home Tripper is a trippy look at home appliances. So check it out and comment below for me to play your game.

Thought I'd share with everyone my favorite bits from the star appliances in our game Home Tripper.

The clock is a judgemental SOB. But they mean well... only wanting you to spend your time wisely.

The fridge is pretty good at telling you what's in there, waiting to be eaten. And of course, wanting to swallow you whole.

Toaster is a perfectionist. Enough said.

And toothbrush tells it like it is.

There we go! This was really fun to make so it's great to go back and reflect on some of the fun stuff.

Over the last day I've felt inspired to revisit my old LDjam games and uploaded all my old Ludum Dare games to HTML. Unfortunately voicing doesn't work and other features do not work in some browsers.

Here's our latest one: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49/home-tripper-1

And my four past entries are here: https://godline.itch.io

Let me know if you find any errors or have any other browser issues. This is all new for me.

Thanks everyone!
