Stoked! We've never had so much time left at this point of progress.
It's scary. As always, we scope-creeped the hell out of the idea; but we actually ended up getting almost everything in.
Biggest barrier is going to be polish and balance now.
Anybody with GameMaker experience I can message when my coder has to work? I'm scared haha
Finished! Unfortunately in build I get 30fps vs 100+ in the editor... Made use of lots of assets in my library, so it looks half decent.

Good luck to those still fighting. See you in September :).
Play my silly little game about using your scythe to harvest corn crops and at the same time avoid a haunted scarecrow! What a hoot! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/scythe
I normally use some kind of existing engine to make a game for a jam, but this time for some reason I decided it would be brilliant to make everything except the renderer from scratch. Did I mention I've barely used javascript before? Phew. I learned a lot doing this and tried some stuff I've wanted to do for a while, mainly terrain generation and tileset stored in a quadtree to speed up physics and rendering queries. Unfortunately these basic systems took up a lot of my first day's time, but now I have a system I can reuse for future jams!
It's also submitted in its p5.js ide so you can update the code and try changing stuff yourself and just hit play.
I didn't have much time for audio but for the music I made an AdLib/DOS inspired ambient tune.
The game itself is kind of simple:
-Survive waves of enemies -Till ground, plant seeds, wait one enemy wave to see them grow to up to 2 levels -Harvest the resulting bushes to get health upgrades, jetpack fuel and wood you can use to build reinforced walls
Kill the enemies, which will drop seeds you can use to plant bushes. Ultimately it's a gamble between harvesting bushes now or on the next turn. You also need to kite the enemies to a place you can easily collect their dropped seeds, but the enemies also damage ground so you have to make sure they don't come too close to your bushes. When bushes are harvested or destroyed, they destroy terrain below them, which means you can't keep farming the same locations.
Because I implemented an (ostensibly) efficient quadtree, the game world is actually quite huge and different each game.
I had fun this weekend doing this little game, I wish a lot of things were more polished (especially character movement and the memory leak in the audio engine that I couldn't fix) but I'm glad I was able to get it over the finish line!

You are Tesor, the collector of souls of the Sorio tribe. Escape from the dungeon where you are a prisoner and collect the 40 souls from enemies and bosses!
This time I wanted to do something other than platforms, I'd have loved to put more powerups, shoots, and enemies but I've spent more time designing the level, I think that in 48 hours it hasn't been bad!

Mow down as much crops as you can within the 2minute time limit. But beware... Your trusty tractor can get overloaded, so you need to figure out how to get back to the silo's and unload before it explodes.
The following video shows an example of the game loop !

‘Harvest Season’ is a short horror experience inspired by B-Movie Horror films about a combine harvester that has been possessed by an evil spirit and is hungry to harvest some flesh.
Will you escape? Or will you prevail in combat in a classic Man Vs Machine battle?
I’m late this year and can only choose Jam.
Nothing is more important than participation!
Have fun!
It is rating time! I have always loved to play lots of games during LD and leaving them some ratings. This time, I decided to play some of those games on twitch. You can find the VOD here:

Our upcoming game will be a peaceful fishing simulator in the archipelago of Nekotuna. Just don't fish the tuna to extinction...!
Five hours left
Time to implement the rest of the game mechanics
Alright, we are making a game where a demonic entity has infested a cafe with its rot, and is emotionally manipulating the customers to harvest their minds. You'll be seeding these characters with certain deadly emotional states depending on the personality tags given to the character you are targeting. You will 'water' these unstable states to drive them towards insanity—which shifts their plane of conciousness and then you're able to reap them.
You're doing this while trying not to be noticed by the cough priest who is there for some reason.....yeah we over-scoped. God bless us...oh no..
my focus was art this time around and I am very happy with the outcome. all art hand drawn in Procreate. coding in Unity & C#
