I'd say game jams are 50/50 for me in causing debilitating lack of self belief or "huh, I can make a lil something like this in 48 hours. Cool"
This was the nicer feeling Here is CardVest- a card game I don't hate, but hey, you might!

I got a rather late start on my game this time around, having only started just over 24 hours ago. I'm doing my best to take the lessons I learned in the last jam to heart and have (mostly) been bee-lining for a complete core gameplay loop before paying too much attention to graphics or anything else. I also came up with a much simpler game, which is nice, lol.
In Crop Circle, you are responsible for maintaining, planting, and harvesting the crop circle that surrounds you in a timely manner. You gain points by successfully harvesting crops and lose points for letting crops wither, either by not tending to them or by not harvesting ripe crops quick enough.
I took some additional inspiration from one of the themes in round 3 of voting, "Words have power," so Crop Circle is a typing game. You take actions by typing words.
So far, I've implemented plowing overgrown fields and planting crops. I've just started working on harvesting crops and gaining points. Then I'll add in some more complexity (tending to crops, crops withering, fields going barren, some actions requiring you to type multiple words in a row to complete them.) Hopefully I'll end up with something resembling a complete game before the end of the jam. :)
But I managed to submit Untitled Shooty Game 2 anyway: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/untitled-shooty-game-2-the-harvesting
Will step away from LD for a few days to recover, but will happily review/give feedback to anyone who comments on my game when I get back.
Also, was the option to embed the HTML version in the LD page removed, or am I just really tired?
Hope everyone had/is having a great jam!
Here's the Ludum Dare Page.
And here's the itch.io page (it has the downloads and web version)
Go defend your potatoes!
Forgot to announce it last night, I fell asleep basically the moment I hit submit lol, but you can play Crop Carnage in your browser now!
Desdamona is a narrative puzzle game about being Death's intern. Harvest souls in this sokoban inspired game, and discover who Death really is.
I started saturday at noon so I'm glad I was able to do so much in so little time. Thanks to the dialogue library I made, and some small mechanics that really can be iterated on quickly.
Harvesting hustle is now out! Juggle between farming crops and feeding your sheep. The more you feed the sheep, the more they will multiply. Give it a try! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/$319406
Yesterday right before I went so sleep I saw that the challenge is live so today I programmed faster than light in order to finish my game for the highspeed 24h compo. :) I hope you like it!

Radiance is some kind of eye-candy-cookie-clicker-idle game. There are many interesting ways how this game could be expanded for which there was obviously too little time inside the 48 (24 in my case) hours :D.

A couple of playtesters have discovered a bug in my game which I am completely unable to reproduce or fathom. It might just be easier to say "don't play the Linux build, it's haunted".
Apart from that, The Harvest Inspector is up!
https://johngabrieluk.itch.io/the-harvest-inspector
!! cw for cartoon gore !!
I started it as kinda an operation-type game but the story also went in a direction that I didn't initially intend :p
We've had a wild weekend! Initially we started as a team of three then we lost one due to a destroyed laptop then gained one? and then the weekend got more crazy from there.. SO its just been me so far! But that's ok! I made some good progress.
Our game is about genetically modified crops that explode! You can mix them to get different ammo types. I didn't know how long we would have to flush out a good story so I added a news ticket on the bottom and we can use that to build some atmosphere.
Im excited to see how much we can get done today.
Looking forward to seeing all of the games!
Final Harvest is now available!
https://grey-november-games.itch.io/final-harvest
Hello folks! I've spent most of the day learning as much as I can about The Observer Pattern. I have decided that Even Delegates are best suited to my project. This is a totally new programming theory to me, and I had a blast learning about it (though my brain was frozen at one point). I won't make the Compo, so I'm pushing for the Jam instead.
Learning new skills is what Ludum Dare is about to me. Every time I participate I become a better developer in one way or another. I will be checking in when my project is refactored to implement the Observer Pattern.
We just finished the game!
you can play it in here: https://marvalero.itch.io/harvest-of-love
We are really excited to publish our first game ^^
Here is also the game if you want to check it out: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/$317784
