Ludum Dare 52 January 6–9, 2023

Because we must: The "these are our sugestions" post

We put in these suggestions

  • Ancient
  • Solstice

Happy the date stayed the same so we (Falien and Magus) can take part in this januari edition!! Happy Jamming all

What is with the F#$%ING meerkats?

~~Ok, halfway through the slaughter. Kept 21 so far.~~

Finished, kept 35.

Themes I will never vote for: - anything NSFW: if you want to make a Pr0n game, then you do you, but don't make everyone. (not that there were that many, if any, this time around) - blank the un-blank-able: by definition impossible - obvious meme themes: not that they couldn't work, but they are too vague to really make good concrete ideas, and yet oxymoronically too specific to let the theme breathe, e.g. meerkats or floating islands - themes that limit the genre: e.g. platformer (note, this doesn't apply to themes that require a mechanic, e.g. cards) - themes that are inevitable: e.g. the game gets harder as you go

I also will only vote for themes that I think I can realistically make on my own or with a friend in 2-3 days (learn to scope and K.I.S.S.).

Pick me up/Looking for a team

I can help out in any department. I love jamming and developimg games so of course I can't miss LD.

My itch: https://ieida.itch.io/

My Discord: chubshobe#8727

All Done

Personally, I prefer themes that can be implemented into existing ideas, and don't force a specific art style or genre.

Ah, it is time for another slaughter!

Slaughter complete!

I saw some really interesting themes that I'm excited about this time around!

My contributions theme-wise were "Undo" and "Rewind". What did you guys think of those?

What themes are you excited about?

Why do you people create themes starting with lowercase letters?

Are you too lazy to press Shift with your little finger? Why do you even bother taking part in LD? Isn't making whole game more tiring than pressing one key? Anyway, I vote against any lowercase theme regerdless I find it good or not

It seems that meerkats are the thing this year. Screenshot from 2022-12-28 21-48-01.png

Like Themes to the Slaughter

52_Slaughter.png There actually were not that many themes to slaughter this time around. I have grown weak as I have participated in more Jams I now vote yes on things like "floating islands" and "two buttons". Don't worry though I still say no to "Your life is currency" with such speed that the site actually tells me to take my time.

Ratio of Slaughter to Save

12.3108108108 to 1 ratio of Slaughtered to Saved.

GUYS IF YOU GET BALANCE YOULL GET SUED BY NINTENDO IF YOU SAY YES

is this 6y old post about making an LD team reliable?
