I’m in for first time
Hi all
Super excited to finally take part in my first Ludum Dare. Goal: Finish anything.
Any tips from the pros?

Tip 1 – Stop drinking any caffeinated drinks ASAP! If you clean your body from caffeine now, you get serious boost later.

Keep it super simple. Hack in more features if you feel they contribute to the game somehow and you still have time left. But think well through the very core mechanics and concentrate on those first.

I’ve only done one Ludum Dare, but my tip would be to first choose what you’d like to learn or get better at. Maybe an art style? A new engine like Unity or Unreal? Some pathfinding or AI coding techniques? Or just time management to finish a project.

Good luck! You’ll either love it, or it may kill you. Most likely both.

Keep it simple, don’t go overboard on coffee, etc. Make sure you know your development tools well, get a decent nights sleep the night before and the first night, because you’ll need it for the second day.
