It's time to start counting down to Ludum Dare 39! The event kicks off earlier, on July 28th (or the 29th depending on your timezone), instead of in August as usual. This isn't a permanent change, just the best compromise to avoid conflicts with an August packed with major industry and related events.

Theme Suggestions are now open. Go make yours now!

This event will be a standard Ludum Dare event.

Thanks the adjusted schedule, there hasn't been as much time between events (a bit over a month). I had planned to check-off a list of major features beforehand, but between GDC, launching the site, and 15th anniversary stuff (some of it didn't work out, other things had to be aborted), frankly I pushed myself too far. Oops! :sweat_smile:

So going in to Ludum Dare 39, I'm not promising any big new features, just a smoother experience (*cough*, which I'll admit isn't saying much).

For my health I'll be forcing myself to move to a more normal schedule, instead of the death-crunches I pushed on myself these past few events. That means I'm not going to have enough time to do everything I want, but I'm hoping that means I'm left less broken after. Heh, news to me: full-time projects need to be both financially and mentally sustainable. :wink:

That's it for now. Go make your Suggestions, and come back next week to help us decide the theme!
