Our second Ludum Dare in a row! We wish luck to all

Feeling more ready than ever for this, as I have nothing else planned this week-end and the weather here is gonna be rainy and cold! I decided to make a 2D game in Elm and have even written a base skeleton, so hopefully I’m going to have more time than usual to design, program and polish this game.

Ludum Dare 50 will be my 25th Ludum Dare (started with LD26 in April 2013). I will probably make something simple, since I'm getting to that age where I can't sit in front of a computer all weekend and write code. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the kickoff event in Knoxville on Friday night.

Hi! I'm super new to game jams, and only slightly less new to gamedev as a whole. I've made a few small projects for friends' birthdays over the past year, but otherwise I've only made a small demo of a 2D platformer.

I'm hoping entering an event like this will provide me an opportunity to personally connect with the community a bit more, as well as hone my ability to make something that works in such a small time frame. I'm not looking to revolutionize the gaming landscape obviously, just to make something relatively functional.

I am fully prepared to fail on all accounts, but I am still incredibly excited to take whatever path leads me to that failure. And if I end up with something I like, then that's a cool surprise too!

Engine: Gamemaker Studio 2

Art: Aseprite, Clip Studio Paint

SFX: Chiptone and just recording

Music: My friend seabats and FreeMusicArchive (I have no clue about music theory.)

https://discord.gg/RnXWEyUs

Looking forward to participating in Ludum Dare for the 4th time! Our team from last year found a few more members and we plan to code in Scratch.

Reused a logo from my last game and it looks really nice. I hope you all enjoy!

I dwell within! (You can't say that isn't technically something that 'I'm In' could be short for.)

Too lazy for much formatting but:

Tools: - Game Engine: Godot - Music: BeepBox maybe? Just saw a nice tutorial for it. Otherwise, maybe LMMS and/or Audacity and/or unknown looper pedal app I've been looking for... - Sounds: Audacity and/or some kind of sfx generator. Maybe just BeepBox again, I was having some fun with note sliding earlier. - Art: MS Paint + Paint.net most likely. Possibly IbisPaint on mobile; I did a mixture of both last time.

General Goals: - I want to see if I can put what I theoretically learned this semester in 'Rapid Prototyping' class to good use to help with scoping and prototyping, which I am notoriously not good at in these jams, although I always finish my games. - Try to adapt what I've learned this semester from 'Intro to Screenwriting' class to either game design or just telling a good story through the game.

Rating Goals: - Top 10 in humor baby! - Or better yet, top 3 in any category, want to see one of those shiny little medals this year ;)

For those of you who prefer it simple. Cheers.!

This year I'll use PICO-8 for the first time in this game jam~

It'll be fun~!

Title goes brrrr.

Alright, I'm in again. I've got most of the weekend free this time. So looking forward to a solid jam. A few friends are also participating this time around so it's going to be fun to compare ideas and how we interpret the theme.

The final round is a little split down the middle on conceptual themes and specific themes. But overall, should be another good jam. Looks like many people are figuring our ambiguous themes make for the best themes.

Good luck everyone!

Hi, I'm a composer and audio designer in professional training, I would like to participate in this edition of the Ludum Jam, if you need someone to focus 100% of the time just for the audio of the game, you can have me as a partner, it will be a pleasure to work on your project!

Hi guys, I'm looking for a first experience with game audio production. If anyone need a composer and audio designer to produce the soundtrack and sound effects, let me know, let's talk about.

A little bit of my work: https://open.spotify.com/album/3jtb56OF5LU4aA2ybO3suF?si=9HTXAsKDQV-TD5MPRxGqzg https://open.spotify.com/album/4qg8THPwYduATJxDa4h9C0?si=VSFR2M_5SvmRrfI18HFavw

I'm in, celebrating Ludum Dare 50 with my 15th attempt. I'll be partaking in the compo, planning to take it easy and aim low because that's the sort of weekend I want to have.

• Engine: Unity 20whatever.whatever
• IDE: VSCode
• Graphics: Adobe Photoshop
• Sound: Cockos REAPER, Chiptone, some synths and guitar
• Source Control: GitHub

Going to enter, and this year, I'm submitting SOMETHING, no matter how bad I think it is! :up:

Unity2D, Photoshop, JetBrains Rider, Some free music editing software? Probably Garage Band.

Good luck and have fun everyone!

Here are the latest results from my theme poll! 180 people have voted from 28 different countries so far! If you haven't voted in the poll yet, CLICK HERE TO VOTE!

Excited to produce yet another masterpiece with the Godot game engine. Have a real artist this time instead of my awfulness, though I'm considering doing both the compo and the extra.

If you have any Godot questions, or you're using Godot Firebase (my plugin) for any reason, feel free to ping me, happy to help!

I have to give LD50 a try... this will be my 12th. What an amazing milestone to get to 50!

Going to use Unity, Photoshop, Audacity, and some various tools.

4th Jam for us, looking forward to it! I'll be using yet another incantation of my own engine, with teammates using Gimp and Reaper. Work and school on monday so we always have to finish up in 48 hours - should be a busy weekend.

I'm still new to a lot of programming and mostly I wanted to use this event to sharpen those programming skills, as well as writing and game design. Those are basically the only things I'm good at, I can't draw and while my taste in music is excellent, it doesn't mean I know how to make it.

Joining a team this weekend, have not done a LD in a while! No plans for tools yet but likely Unity. Good luck yall

Hoi Hoi Hoi! I'm in! (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

Can't wait wait wait to see what games everyone makes and to play all all all of them!!!!! (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

What better time to join in the renowned LD than on their 50th?

As the counter gets closer the more worried I become that I'm not prepared to make something fast enough on my own. I've done a couple of jams in the past with a team but I'm goin solo this time.

How do you folks feel about where you are right now? What about before a jam in general? Do you get the prejam jitters?

This is not my first game jam, but it certainly is my first Ludum Dare jam! I suppose I should introduce myself... bonjour! I'm a 19 year old Unity Programmer/Game Designer with around 1-3.5 years of experience, depending on what counts as experience (here's my portfolio of jam games if you want to see: https://lavalamp202.itch.io/).

So far I've only worked on my games alone, but this time I kind of want to change things up so I'm taking applications for potential teammates or teams to join. So if you want to work together, or just want to get in touch so we can vibe and chat as we both work on our own projects, feel free to send me a message! Or @, or comment, or whatever it is you do to contact people on this site :)

Hey folks! I'm David, a long time game development enthusiast and live coder. The last time I participated in Ludum Dare was around 2014 so I'm looking forward to trying it again!

The challenge I'm making for myself this time is to use my own Scheme-inspired programming language Mesche and my relatively basic game engine/library Substratic to make a complete game in 48 hours. We'll see how far I get!

I'll be live streaming most of my work on my Twitch and YouTube channels, come hang out while you work on your entry!

• https://twitch.tv/FluxHarmonicLive
• https://youtube.com/FluxHarmonicLive

Now a question for you: are you using any interesting programming language or library for this event?

tl;dr: I hope folklore wins, it's quite flexible and I'm already going in with baggage of the kind of game I want to make.

I think some of my most creative works from game jams have come from going in as a blank slate and designing entirely around the theme. However on the flip side I don't take part in a lot of game jams each year and usually my main motivator is I have some sort of game concept in my head I want to play about with. In those situations I end up trying to force the theme to fit and it may be less creatively pure but it benefits from a lot of pre-existing motivation and excitement.

My first game project I released publicly was "the white chamber" back in 2005 a point and click adventure game inspired by the LucasArts games I grew up with. Though stylistically it was a lot more inspired by anime, Silent Hill, Twin Peaks and a bit of Event Horizon. People seemed to like it.

I spent a lot of time after "the white chamber" trying to make games that were more creatively challenging for myself and more commercially viable than old school point and click adventure games. To... mixed success. Now 17 years later when I no longer worry about making things that can sell and reach an audience I find myself drawn back to the games I grew up on. I want to make adventure games again.

For Ludum Dare in particular I want to make a classic 9 verb pixel art old school game. I've got some ideas about a setting that I think I can pull off quickly and feel excited to work within. So now I just need a theme flexible enough to go ahead with that plan. So some of the more mechanical sounding themes like "Make Connections", "Single Resource" and "Combine" are certainly workable but not ideal for the corner I've already painted myself into.

So in short, I'm campaigning for your vote for FOLKLORE

Folklore 2022

the theme you can trust to get away with(tm)

As per tradition, better post that I'm taking part in the jam and most likely will consume my body weight in coffee yet again. :)

This has saved my butt countless times after unity decided to rage quit...

https://github.com/Matthew-J-Spencer/Unity-AutoSave

Auto save!

Hello hello. Short notice, but any artists want to join? I am a 4 time medalist, won 2 medals last jam. Anyone down?

My current project is based in Ancient Greece, so I've gotten really interested in some of their traditions and mythology. I've recently picked up a set of astragali - fortunetelling dice traditionally made of animal bone - and a book on interpreting them, so this was a great excuse to try doing a reading for the first time. I view it less as genuine insight on the future and more as just something really cool, but it's hard not to get excited when the result turns out so favorably! Now that I'm apparently destined to do super well, I'm pumped for the jam to start! And maybe this could even be a jumping off point for inspiration as well.

For anyone curious, the actual reading:

The Fertile Earth

Should a single four fall and all the rest threes,

then you will succeed in all things, and command capably.

Along with luck, you will have the aid of Apollo.

The Earth will bear you perfect fruit for your labors.

I know I know..... Making connections and Tunnels are not bad themes... just doesn't fit my plans for #50

Hi guys, I'm looking for a first experience with game audio production. If anyone is in need of a producer to produce the soundtrack and sfx for a game, let me know, let’s talk about.

A little bit of my work: https://open.spotify.com/album/3jtb56OF5LU4aA2ybO3suF?si=NJ5K-xP7TdaYOHCb-ywwKg https://open.spotify.com/album/4qg8THPwYduATJxDa4h9C0?si=WuDHhWO3RY-bQzTFG6hSog

and yes, im in

A fishing game ?

I'll perhaps participate, excepted if I don't...

If I do so, I'll be alone (really?), and submit a thing for the compo, excepted if it's not ready. In this case I'll submit for the jam, excepted if it's not ready...

Tools: - Yes

Have a good LD all! Excepted if you have a bad one...

Kisses! :kissing_heart:

Here we go again...

Done a ton of smaller game jams since last LD (LD48) so feeling more prepped :D:D:D:D (who am I kidding?)

Good luck to all

I am very excited for coming weekend! Music is an important part of my life. Here are some music pieces I'll probably listen to during the jam :-)

• System of a Down - www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DMM87DMF5o
• Clutch - www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0D7hnwIik8
• Pink Floyed Tribute band Live - www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYbm096uzEc
• Groundswell (Three Days Grace) - www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aFO_ruTdf0
• Everything from BeeGees
• Everything from Roxette

Does anyone have suggestions in the same line as the ones listed above? Or did you think about music to keep you sane durning the weekend? :-)

It seems to me that using Discord or blog posts isn't the best way to find a team. Does anyone else agree? Or disagree? I'd like to know what other people think.

Once upon a time there was a site for this. I'm seriously considering making a replacement. If I did, would you use it? What would you like to see as features of such a site?

Please let me know what you think, positive or negative. The more responses I get, the better.

Thanks.

Yeet here we go againz, good luck all

i have school, then a whole game jam over spring break, this'll be fun a h

can you stream your game?

First time our team is joining Ludum Dare and we’re excited. Hope everyone has a great one!

Hey. I'm at the final stretch of finishing last LD jam's game! A good time to start a new LD game, what could possibly go wrong. Basically I added a Level 2 and a Level 0 and made a lot of things more stable and some unstable while also adding a lot of stupid fancy stuff.

My 6th time around and excited as always! My wife challenged me to create a 3D game without violence...

Challenge accepted! :laughing:

I'm going to participate on the new format so it's more relaxing this time.

I am in, cannot wait to start making some great apps with everyone!

Has anyone ever made an application rather than a game, but still fit the theme? Some of the themes in this jam are particularly good for it, like combine, garden, out of order, and so on. They wouldn't be "fun" in the traditional sense, I assume, but with engines like Godot, making an application really isn't vastly different from making a game.

I just wanted to share my nerves, this is the first time I participate in a Game Jam. And not in any Game Jam, in the 50th edition and 20th anniversary of Ludum Dare!

So there's a game jam in like... 13 hours. There's a list of possible themes. Maybe you're thinking "I have no idea what to do for any of these themes!". Don't worry! I'm here to provide you with a list of some of the most idiotic ideas imaginable...

wait...

That's not helpful at all!

Delay the inevitable - A real-time strategy game about non-existence for the final 8 billion years of the heat-death of the universe.

Fragile - A tower defense game where you deploy increasingly more powerful publicists to protect Will Smith's ego from an onslaught of jokes. (Ooh...snarky AND topical!)

Make connections - A game about meticulously planning a trip across a major city using public transport. It's a text adventure. I mean, who doesn't love bus schedules?!?!

Mutation - A visual novel where you're a evolutionary biologist but everyone you meet is a hardline creationist... and you're just trying to find love, man. YOU JUST WANT SOME ONE TO LOOOOOOVE!

Teleportation - Just make Portal. Seriously, it's SO good.

A single resource - A social engineering game where you publish the phone numbers of your real life single friends on the internet and charge money for people to access it. Wait... EA just called me. This idea is now part of their IP.

Folklore - A quiz game where every question is about the hit Showtime TV series, Queer As Folk.

Shelter - A game where you play the final three days of life as a 13 year old dog abandoned at the local animal shelter before you are put down. Holy shit. This is the saddest fucking idea I've ever had. What is wrong with me?

Infestation - Two words. Ass. Spiders.

Road trip - Remember that film from like... the early 2000s? You know, it had Tom Green in it. Yeah, don't make that into a game - you'll get sued. Instead, how about a game where you and you sister are arguing while playing Connect Four and you have to win the argument and the game before your parents put a suitcase between you?

Tunnels - It's literally Fallout 3. But you play as Butch DeLoria in between the scenes where he interacts with "the main character". Seriously, Tunnel Snakes RULE!

Overgrown - It's a "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" game, but you end up stuck in a depressed man's body hair and have to fight gross shit like skin flakes and sweat gland eruptions. Ughhh.

Out of order - A physics-based QWOP style game about banging a gavel and desperately trying to manipulate your vocal chords into saying "You're out of order!"

Space is limited - A game about fitting oversized goods into your car boot (that's a trunk for Americans).

Combine - A manhunt meets postal slaughterfest about a farmer who's "been pushed too far" and his trusty combine harvester, Betsy.

Garden - A cleaning simulator set in Madison Square Garden after yet another disappointing loss by the New York Knicks. But it's also a subtle sabotage game, because the more the Knicks lose, the fewer people attend the games and the easier it is to clean the Garden. This may be the greatest game I've ever come up with. I have a single tear rolling down my che... wait... no. That's just a sweat eruption.

Anyway, I hope that sets a bar so low that any idea you come up with in 13 hours looks AMAZING!

Best of luck! Have fun!

I started prototyping Cubis puzzle clone a few days before current LD 50 begin. Early progress I can show just flood-fill testing really.

No matter what engine, framework or library you use, it is important that you start the setup before the jam starts. so make sure you have a barebone project ready if you haven't already. it's also helpful to setup other things like a github repository and make sure all your usual software are working and dont need any updating or troubleshooting.. for me for example I use the godot engine, so I have a (jam-template) project always ready. it has common components like -A global scene manager with premade transition effects -A global music player that can play sound effects and handles music and music transition. -basic customizable splash and menu scene -common sound effects like buttons and splash scene music and some other utility and misc I use

Wow, 8 (EIGHT) LD's have seen the light of day since i last participated successfully and finished a game. I tried a couple of times since then, but there was always something that sucked away all my time that weekend (mostly work).

But now, finally, for this special occasion, i will make it work. We just had a baby, so now should be the perfect time, right ;p ? Can't sleep much anyways, lol.

But with the option to go 'extra' i should have enough time to finish something at least, but as always the most important and difficult thing is for my ambition to match my time budget. The setting might be something related to my recent experiences, i have a few ideas already, hehe.

So, have a nice jam everybody, goeth forth and codeth

For most of us (including me) in our team of 9, it's gonna be the first Ludum Dare (for some, even the first jam!) but I already picked up the traditionnal "we're in" post. ;)

So yeah, Bottled Up Studio is in ! Tools: - Engine: Godot

We aim at making a 2D game with a nice story and innovative mechanics and polished audio-visuals. But the most important is to have fun and express our creativity ! Good luck to all! (even if the theme is gonna suuuuuuck XD)

After over 1 week in bed with my friend Corona, the fever is finally gone and I have decided to try Ludum Dare #50! I say "try" because i dont know how focused I can work after 5 days of fever. But since I love LD and have been part many times I just need to be part of this! 20 years man! How cool is this! Congratulations team!!!

Have fun everyone and I cant wait to play your games! And of course to show you my game!

All the best / Jot / ILIKESCIFI Games

PS: I will not vote for any of the themes since I want to be 100% surprised what the theme will be! Oldschool!

Hey everyone, just thought I join the wallpaper game! Here's my contribution. Happy 50th LD, y'all!

https://discord.gg/RnXWEyUs

So regardless of the actual theme, I propose a bonus theme of echoes as it was ironically in each round of voting leading up to the final round.

Hello all Foolers out there!

My name is Erox and im a solo-developer from Sweden! Im joining LD50 but unfortunately i have a DnD session this Sunday so im either going to do something small for compo or post a jam game. Either way, im excited! 🙌

Because people love these, here are the stuff im using:

🕊️ GameMaker: Studio: Gamemaker is game engine i’ve always used, and love it dearly!

🕊️ Aseprite: When i need to animate something very precise, i use this! A very nice pixel art program, i like it…10/10!

🕊️ BeepBox: I make music right inside there, in that little spot right there!

🕊️ Bfxr & Audacity: With these, i make beeps and boops and crazy sounds!

🕊️ Trello & Google Drive: Here i do my game concept, ideas and to do lists!

🕊️ itch.io: This is my go-to place when uploading my games, very nice!

Have a wondeful Ludum Dare y’all! I’ll be posting updates here on my feed of the progress!

I am going to try my best to participate in this 20th LD through the new amazing Extra option. If nothing else, I will hopefully get something together for the deadline and if not, want to contribute by playing and rating the rest of your wonderful creations. Good luck, have fun! <3

It looks like I'm finishing a game every second jam. Let's at least make it consistent.

According to schedule I should be able to create game using: * Pixi.js / LibGDX(libKTX) * Typescript / Kotlin * Krita for Art * GarageBand or Ableton for music

See you all there. Good luck and have fun!

10 hours, 53 minutes, 23 seconds and I am writing this stupid post.

I'm gonna be streaming on Twitch, so if you feel like it, hop on and say funny words: https://www.twitch.tv/infinitivoidex

Good luck ya'all!

I figured I'd post about this since Mike hasn't updated the event info, and some people might not see the "Welcome to Ludum Dare 50" post, but the keynote is out now. You can check it out here:

GLHF everyone!

This will be my second Ludum Dare after taking part on 46. Hopefully will get back again on making games. Will be doing it solo for the COMPO and using Construct 3. Really looking forward to playing and sharing games again!

This will be my first Ludum Dare. Just started a little over a month ago with game development by jumping straight into Pico-8 and a roguelike game jam. Then before that finished took on an endless jam. First jam was about 2 weeks, second was only about one week, and now trying this one in 48 hours. Seems like a fun way to spend a weekend.

Good luck to all!

Going to try to to make a small game for the jam with whatever spare time I can find! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Last jam our team missed the deadline for the first time since we started doing Ludum Dare, which was a bummer.

The good news is that since then we've begun the process of forming a game development studio so that we can make games in a professional manner.

Our new studio's name is Windy Bois. We're a team of passionate designers, developers, artists, and musicians who have been living (and working) together for over 5 years! We're like one big creative family and we're super pumped to start tackling our dream. We will be releasing our first game Blob on the Job this coming month on iOS (and hopefully Android).

Here's our team for the jam:

Project Management and Programming - @bamallama

Art - @itzdaneko & @icyysilver

Music - @bgcrausen

Design and More! - Potentially @cbarkinnies

Check out our progress (and please follow us :heart:) over on Twitter click here!

Will be using those awesome applications :

• Godot 3.5 Beta
• LMMS 1.3 Alpha
• Krita 5

Why would you need anything else :)

I was going to join in with a friend but due to personal issues he isn't in the mood so I'm going solo and this is my first Jam. Let's see how it goes.

Im going full open software: Godot, Libresprite and Blender.

Also praying for Folklore to be a official theme! See you on the storm.

Hi, I'm Kenny

This is my first game jam

Why not? I'll attempt to make something cool to submit to the Jam. I'm not an artist, so I won't be submitting in the graphics/audio categories. I've never participated in a game jam before, so I'm excited to attempt this.

Resources I'll use:

• Phaser
• LPC assets
• Freeware audio

This time i'm going to make a solo jam.

I'll use: - Unreal Engine 5 - Blender - Krita/Photoshop - for the audio part IDK yet

Good luck to all!

Id say its a good theme for a writing contest or a full game with lore and story. But for a game-jam i generally want a theme that can be applied to mechanics.

To bad the one and only best theme didnt make it through the slaughter... ☃️

██╗░░░░░██████╗░░░░░░██╗░█████╗░███╗░░░███╗ ██║░░░░░██╔══██╗░░░░░██║██╔══██╗████╗░████║ ██║░░░░░██║░░██║░░░░░██║███████║██╔████╔██║ ██║░░░░░██║░░██║██╗░░██║██╔══██║██║╚██╔╝██║ ███████╗██████╔╝╚█████╔╝██║░░██║██║░╚═╝░██║ ╚══════╝╚═════╝░░╚════╝░╚═╝░░╚═╝╚═╝░░░░░╚═╝

I'm in! =)

Take these results with a grain of salt, but here are the current standings for my ongoing theme poll! Thanks to the 258 voters so far! If you want to vote and haven't yet, CLICK HERE.

I though it started at 11PM but it's 2AM! Looks like I'll be trying to get an early night tonight.

I've been working on a basic starting template this week. Just a simple entity system using libgdx/box2d. I always end up spending a bunch of time looking up the box2d api and chasing down little bugs at the start. Downloading texturepacker, looking up how to disable antialiasing in blender, etc. So I think I've saved myself an hour or so of work there. I also have a script in blender that will render out all the graphics/animations for me with the right names. I always end up forgetting to change the output filename and then having to go and re-render the previous animation.

I'M MORE READY THAN I'VE EVER BEEN!

Just realised my music production laptop isn't switching on. Also it has several mysterious liquid stains on it :( Not ideal but I'll just install ableton on my desktop

Hard to believe that I started with Ludum Dare 24. I have enjoyed all of them, except one, and I am really looking forward to #50. Congratulations to everyone who has participated over the years and has been inspired to become a #gamedev because of this service. Thank you Mike for keeping this event going year after year.

So, it's LD time once again, and 50th! :open_mouth:

Last few weeks work and other stuff have been tiring me out to a level I don't know if I can manage to make it to the Jam, but will try to do so.

Tools will probably be: - Engine: Phaser or GameMaker - Audio: FL Studio and whatever instrument I have laying around - Graphics: Affinity Suite + Aseprite

Good luck to everyone! :wink:

Amis francophones,

Dans le cadre de la Jam, nous recherchons un graphiste afin de remplacer le nôtre qui a un empêchement.

Nous sommes actuellement un groupe de 4 : - 2 développeurs sous game maker studio 2 - 2 sound designer

Je fais également du graphisme en plus de la programmation donc je pourrais accessoirement aider. Ma page itchio : https://cortexxx.itch.io/

Contacter moi sur discord : Cortex#4722

Merci

It's that time of year again! :pointright: :cowboy: :pointright:

We're getting back in the saddle for another weekend of shenanigans, and as usual, we'll be streaming our whole process over at https://www.twitch.tv/coleslawski! Come stop by if you ever need a break from the chaos.

May the theme gods bless you! :pray:

:smile:

Been watching jealously from the side-lines for some time but this time I am going to try and get something in. This is my first attempt at a game jam. I have always wanted to have a go. I will probably bail.

I wasn't invited but here is a wallpaper to show my excitement and trepidation.

LD Jam 50!

I participated in a jam a few years back, but I was still new in the world of game dev and it was... well a flop to say the least. But after seeing another jam was just this weekend, I decided to give it another try now that I am more experienced.

• Engine: Unity
• IDE: Microsoft Visual Studio
• Sprites: GIMP
• 3D Models: Blender
• Audio: Bosca Ceoil

Looking forward to this jam and the great games that will be made! Good luck!

Have some mercy on our souls please I dont want to have to play a shit ton of bathroom related games and puzzle games thank you

I am participating in this epic Ludum Dare Game Jam Tools Unity GIMP Blender Aseprite Audacity BandLab SFXR/BFXR

Its my second time doing this game jam! this time in a smaller group with 1 other person! Looking forward to how this will turn out.

https://discord.gg/RnXWEyUs

This is our (me and @HexyVexy - ArcaneRituals) first game jam, and we are very excited.

We've made a few small things, but we are mostly still learning the ropes. We are both technology professionals though, so we are good at bluffing our way through complex stuff!

Our goal is to have something to present by Monday, no lofty goals for our first go-around.

Personally, I am hoping for Folklore. We are both Scottish so there is a ton of great mythology we could plunder from our history.

My stack:

Engine: Unity
IDE: JetBrain's Rider
Audio: REAPER

I'm planned on doing something, but not finishing a game. Likely this will involve Zig, PICO8, or libtcod.
