Destroy waves of enemies in our game! :D

Supply lines have been cut by space pirates and you need to hold your ground for as long as possible!

Can you make it? (No… no you can’t, but you can get a sweet highscore)

If you can survive for longer than five minutes, the Gods will have much more to say!

HTML5 Games, Link-em!

This time around I wanted to get back to 2d games so I fired up Godot and fell back in love with it all over again. I also thought of something I haven't done in the past and might be common knowledge but I put an HTML5 logo on my cover image so it was obvious that you can play it on the web.

Link me your HTML games, I would love to play and rate them!

The Extra: Ludum Dare continues until April 21st!

The competitive Ludum Dare weekend has ended, but we're still here and we're still making games!

Welcome to Extra, the new casual Ludum Dare

Unlike the Jam and Compo, Ludum Dare's extra format doesn't have winners. What it does have is over 2 weeks left to make something and still be a part of Ludum Dare's feedback and ratings process! :sunglasses: :tropical_drink:

If you didn't finish your Ludum Dare in time, no problem! Take another day!

If you missed out, no problem! Try again this weekend (April 8th-11th) or next (April 15th-18th)!

Pick what works best for you!

Don't wait too long though! Extra submissions close on results day (April 21st), and if you're not early, you'll miss out getting feedback on your game!

See the full write-up for more ideas on how to how to make the most of the next couple weeks.

NOTE: We still collect ratings on Extra games (for future use), but you can opt-out of ratings entirely for a pure casual Ludum Dare experience. When you opt out, you can still give and get feedback!

Time to Play, Rate, and give Feedback

For everyone did finish a game this past weekend, now's your chance to play, rate, and give feedback on games.

If you'd like to get a score at the end of the Play+Rate+Feedback period, be sure to play other games. We prioritize your game when you give ratings and good feedback. The system is most heavily weighted towards feedback, and we encourage you to like :heart: good feedback when you see it. :smiley:

Everyone making an Extra game can join us once they finish. :slight_smile:

Keynote Reunion, celebrating 20 years of Ludum Dare

In case you didn't hear, Ludum Dare 50 is also Ludum Dare's 20th anniversary! We're old!

To mark the occasion, I reached out to every previous Ludum Dare keynoter, and ask them to join us for this.

Finally ...

... finished writing the game description, instructions and uploading screenshots to LDJam.com and itch.io - was way too tired to do it last night after the submission.

I'm going to leave a link to the game here before I go an write a quick 'post-mortem', after which I'm looking forward to relaxing for the rest of the night and playing some of your game submissions..

Someone has made an MMO for this jam?!

I heard that someone made an MMO for Compo - is that true? If so, I need to play it.

And, you know the drill, never make a post without self marketing xD If you want to play a short but cool top-down shooter (HTML5), check out my game

Keep It Warm

I made my fisrt game for this LD50 and it's my fisrt game I finished. Before I only made some test game from Godot tutorials.

Hop you enjoy too. Happy to join it's great community.

Early Feedback

Thanks to everyone that has given me feedback on my game so far, much appreciated, I've already started implementing some of the changes from the feedback ready for a post-compo build, they include:

  • Zoomable camera when you move, to show more of the playing field, easier to navigate.
  • Flower radar icons to help you find the nearest sky garden.
  • Normalised sound.

GrimTide

I completely forgot to make a blog post about my Jam entry yesterday. But, better late than never.

I present Grimtide : Delay the inevitable

TitleCard.jpg

A dark, surreal strategy game where you have to defend your bases from an encroaching tide of "red stuff".

Inspired by the likes of creeper world, minesweeper and missile command.

I'll record myself playing your games !

Feedback is valuable, but live reaction recordings are the graal. And since I'm trying to feel more easy when I'm being recorded to become a better youtuber, I thought I'd record myself playing your games !

So I'll play and give feedback on everyone's game that leave feedback on mine ! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/50/nightwaker

Once I'll be done, I'll post it to my ytb channel : https://youtube.com/channel/UCcGSRDYUYBQIsujY2QXpg

I'm looking forward to see your games !

I managed to deliver a game in time

Despite being a professional game developer, for the first time I managed to complete my game. That's kinda big for me, because the development of a game in a jam is really different to the one I do in my daily job.

Only two days to make a game was challenging for me not because the technical obstacle I had to overcome, I'm working on Unity since 5.3, but in a motivation point of view: I was exhausted sunday morning, and I wanted to throw everything and take a nap. Got convinced to power through bad thoughts, and at the end the result really paid off.

Watching people playing your game and giving feedback, praises and criticism is worth the struggle in the last two days. And this is why I will partecipate also to LD51, LD52 and the others to come. Thanks to you, people!

In just 25h of work, BLACKSUN is born. It's not really pretty: I'm a developer, not an artist, but it's mine, and I'm really proud of it.

Don't know yet if I will continue the project: the code is in a pretty bad shape due the time constraint, but I don't mind rewrite it from the ground up. The UI and the general touch needs a real artist touch.

In the meanwhile, you can try it in your browser here:

Thank again guys and gals, that's the first time for me interacting with the LD community and it's a pleasure. Keep up the good work! :v:
