We're Trans Rescue

We get trans people out of places where it's dangerous to be trans. It's hard work, so we like to kick back and play sometimes. We're entering LD Compo 59.

Want to do a bit of good with your game jam time? We'll be putting a link to Trans Rescue's donation page on our close screen. So maybe we'll do something for a trans person who needs it.

Know git and some subset of Unity, Blender, texture creation, sound design, C# programming, game design, and/or dialog writing? Drop an email to annie@transrescue.org to let us know you're up for it, with your Github handle and Ludum Dare handle. We're on Unity and probably making a 3D game.

Hey jammers! Some of you might still remember me from my Ludum Dare post mortems. And guess what? A new one is about to premiere tomorrow! If you happen to see this in time, be sure to join and/or drop by in my live stream afterwards at twitch.tv/pixelprophecy.

If you're late, don't fret! The YouTube embed should show the video. Hope you enjoy! ☺️🦄✨

Hello there.

I'm a game programmer, currently looking for a game artist to partner up with for the jam and, ideally, for longer term adventures. I'm open to working with an experienced game designer too.

Here's my (slightly outdated) portfolio: https://renanvieira.carrd.co.

Please feel free to reach out via Discord (rkvieira).

Best regards!

We are about 3 weeks out so the theme suggestion and ultimately slaughter round should be starting soon? Yes?

I'm so excited for this competition, I'm going to dedicate myself so that this year I can get a good position in this competition.

LD veteran (since LD28 I think), but never come top 100.

maybe this time is the time??

22 days 10 hours 34 minutes as of this post!

Last jam i was down a thumb, this jam im up a baby im going to try and be in but who knows

Hi!

For my 10th Ludum Dare, I'm making a change and switching from Godot to JavaScript. It's more than enough for the kind of 2D games I make, and it gives me more freedom in certain areas. Granted, Godot definitely wins in other aspects, like 2D pathfinding, navigation nodes, and an amazing tilemap editor. Let's see how it goes!

Thanks for reading!

P.S. Check out my free game on Steam, Linsips!

I had completely forgotten about Ludum Dare 59, time's just been flying by!

I've previously been using Unity for all my projects, however, I think it might be time to give Godot an honest chance.

It's a weird feeling. I've become so proficient in Unity that I can easily jump straight into creating. Working with a new engine will produce a new set of challanges which will limit my productivity. However, I believe that part of this journey is about the experiences gained, and not solely the final product.

Wishing you all happy holidays and a fun jam! :smile:

I have to admit, I'm really disappointed by the recent announcement. I was really looking forward to taking part in LD59. I spent about a month preparing... just to hear it's closing down forever :'(

Ludum Dare was like a convention where game developers got together to view each other's work, and I'm very sad to see it go.

I wish all of you good luck in the future.

For those who haven't already seen it, the Ludum Dare YouTube channel posted a really heartwarming farewell video about the history of Ludum Dare: https://bit.ly/4cjihDN

The normal barrage of "Im In!"

Actually I really don't like those posts - we need something else, where we can show our intent to do LD, and what language, tools, people we will be working with.

I feel like joining again!~ Themes I suggested are 'Mythical' and 'Alignment'. I will be going for a text choice adventure thingy like before, limited but doable still.

These are the themes I have decided to suggest. I always like themes that can be interpreted in many ways, with those more relevant to gameplay than to the setting being the ones I prefer the most, which is what influenced my suggestions.

I'm excited!
