Ludum Dare 54 September 29–October 2, 2023

Rise and shine, @pov, rise and … shine.

Not that I wish … to imply that you have been sleeping on … the job. No one is more deserving of a rest, and all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until … well … let’s just say your hour has come again. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference … in the world. So, wake up, @pov. Wake up and … smell the ashes..

HTML or Standalone?

We're trying to decide on an engine, and one of the big factors driving this decision for our team right now is whether we can build for the web. A native engine like BabylonJS, Phaser, or something like Unity could be best as we can export as html and embed directly in our entry page. But these engines can be limited, and we were thinking of learning to use Unreal. Unreal however cannot bundle for the web.

So I thought I'd ask the community, do people play games if they're download only?

An update!

Time Lapse Software

Hi, I'm looking for screen recording software that can do timelapses. Only criteria is that it's free. I want to do a time lapse of me developing my game for ld54. So, does anyone know any software that fits the bill?

Anyone has engine recomendations?

Looking to learn another one for no particular reason really

Unity Changes Revenue System

Yesterday I believe there was an announcement by Unity that they are restructuring their revenue system.

I watched these videos to help me understand the current evolution of Unity.

Ludum Dare 54 is a great opportunity to learn a new engine or framework

Personally, we will be using Bevy. I strongly suggest you don't use Unity and learn something new and open-source like Godot, LibGDX, SFML or Bevy.

hopefully we have enough time for theme suggestions and slaugher...

go go go mike, we all cheer for you
