this'll be my first time participating in a 48/72-hour gamejam. i've participated in some week-long jams before, but im excited to challenge myself more! my goal is to not overscope my game, something i have a bad habit of doing... im aiming for the compo, but if i miss it, at least the jam is still there!
i'll be using the language Rust and the framework Bevy for making the game, Aseprite for the art, and Beepbox, Audacity, and sfxr for sounds and music!
good luck everyone!
I hope everyone has a good night's sleep tonight, because tomorrow is when the grind begins!
Hello! I'm new here and this will be my first game jam :) I was wondering if using a addon like Dialogic or dialogue manager is allowed on the Jam, since the rules said that any tool or base code are okay. Or this have to be coded from scratch? I'm a little bit slow so this would be such a time saving.
Oh well, I have been sick and not doing anything... Did manage to take a looksie at the final round so... Here it is!
Hopefully I'll be able to shake the rust off. I've entered eight LD jams in the past and built a completed game in five of them. I only saw that another one was taking place this weekend a couple of days ago so have been trying to relearn a bunch of stuff (particularly Phaser) quickly. Wish me luck, I'll need it! 🐲
Art: Clip Studio Music: Garage Band Engine: Phaser Language: Typescript IDE: VSCode
YO! I thought LD was last week and I missed out because of a camping trip!
I've been doing these for the last 5 years I have participated in every Ludum Dare. This time is no different I am in again! This time my business partner is busy so it's the Compo for me again!
I wish everyone good luck. Let's got this!
Select which themes you voted +1 for and see the live results! This is just for fun and usually doesn’t predict the winner, but I enjoy doing it. It’s a flawed system since it doesn’t consider -1 votes, but again, it’s just for fun.
Good news, less spam! Bad news, new user posts don't make it to the main feed since they aren't trusted accounts yet.
Check out https://ldjam.com/feed/raw to see the poor souls looking for help or teams.
Hello everybody, I'm here to drop a very important announcement.
UPDATE TO THIS ANNOUNEMTNCE: Maybe if enough of you show support of giraffes my team can be convinced thank you very much
I will be back, participating in the 54th version of Ludum Dare. Sadly I must also let you know that I'm not 100% sure whether I can convince my team to include giraffes in our game this time around.
Thank you for reading this important announcement. Godspeed to all of you!!
Hello there,
We are a French-speaking team of three made up of a developer, a graphic designer and a game/level designer. Following the recent controversies surrounding Unity, we'd like to develop our skills on Unreal and are looking for different profiles comfortable with Unreal 5 to accompany us on this 72-hour GameJam. Above all, we'd like to have as much fun as possible, and achieve results with a smaller scope, but just as effective and interesting! So don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like to know more, or if you'd like to join us
@tristan-doell and me, @gawain-doell are back in jam mode. Going to team up for the 3 day jam. We have some silly ideas but I guess we will see what floats come theme announcement tomorrow. Good luck everyone, buckle up, and let's all enjoy the ride!
Hello! It's my first time joining Ludum Dare. Hoping to have a fun time :D
I started doing LD in 2019 and was consistently participating every event (although one of them never got posted because I didn't finish it) and enjoyed so much of it. College has kept me busy but I'm happy to say I'm ready to participate this time around again and am extremely motivated to make something awesome! Gonna try to stream a lot of my process too to help motivate me to keep going!
This is my first time ever participating Ludum Dare. I am going solo, I can somewhat draw, making random bs music. Man, this Ludum Dare feels so overwhelming, hopefully I can make a do and have some impacts. I think that this year would be very hard for me to win anything so I will not have high hopes for the prize. My tools to participate would be Java IDE( I build my framework and slap some additional tinkering), Musecore(I have been using it since 2016) and my shitty drawing skills(I can't draw humanoid well so I expect I would go for some kid like doodling). God speed to all. A prototype of what I have done before participating: https://nomanlike.itch.io/16th-floor
This is my first time ever participate this. I am going solo. My drawing is not great, my music making is not good also. I don't expect to win or achieve anything. I am using Java IDE to make game(I have a code structure already). Good luck have fun
I'm currently looking for a good (free, no ai) software to use for creating music for my yet-non-existent game.
Any recommendations?
First time i entered was for LD47, really fun event! Life has gotten in the way but my planning skillz have made it so that i have a free saturday and mostly sunday to do this.
I scored pretty good last time (imo), I hope that I can keep it going with this one!
Looking forward to all the crazy games that will come forth from this.
GL HF!
I find most of the themes exciting but my favorites are Paths, Signal and Salvage. I can already imagine what kind of game I could make on these themes =)
Programs I plan to use:
All right, let's make interesting games and have fun!
All tips are useful, like how to prepare, when/if to sleep... etc
This is my first time doing Ludum Dare, I'm really excited for this!
Tools I plan on using: - GDevelop or Game Maker - Aseprite for art - 1Bit Dragon for music - Figma for UI/UX - LOTS of Caffeine
Wish me luck!
I took part in the last ludum dare, but never published a game since I wasn’t able to complete it. This weekend will be my revenge and as long as I complete something I’ll be happy :) I’ll use unity, write in C# and then do all the art I aseprite. GLHF!
Hi !
After half a year of Ludum-Abstinence, I'm back !
I will use http://squarity.fr, my own game engine.
With Squarity, you can create and share tiny 2D grid-based games directly in your browser. Draw a little tileset, write some python code, and ta-da, you immediatly get your game !
Here is a screenshot of the last game I made. It's called "Grreeny the front-ender" and was done for a not-so-secret-Santa.
You can play it here :
http://squarity.fr/#fetchezgithubgistdarkrecher/37556474a2814e20d7170fc858dfa495/raw/grreeny.txt
Although I'm a bit sick today I'm still planning to spend the weekend making something
Almost certainly gonna be something in the adventure game genre made in Unity as that's what I like doing these days.
Good luck everyone!
Hello, everyone! It's a pleasure to meet you all. This marks my debut in the Ludam Dare GameJam. I've been involved in game development since December 2020, primarily collaborating with clients and holding full-time positions. However, this time, I've decided to take a break and create a compact game for Ludam Dare 54. If any of you have any valuable tips to offer, please don't hesitate to share them with me. Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
Let's embark on a productive jamming session! 🎮
I'm incredibly out of practice when it comes to anything gamedev and haven't participated in a Ludum Dare in 4 years due to various things getting in the way, but I'm in.
Gotta get started again somehow so might as well throw myself into it and see what happens. Going to be using Godot this Time, don't have all that much experience with it yet but I'm exited to learn it and exited to make something again.
Hi everyone ! First game jam for me. And I already like this feeling of jumping into the unknown! Slaughtered all themes, and I love some of them (especially keep the lights on). I'm looking forward to play some games created by all of you. I'll keep the scope a bit low for this event, I'd love to finish my game in time. Conclusion: I hope you'll all have a nice jam !
I'm in, but is it legal to use "Jam" to move my game from Unity -> Godot or will I get arrested? My game will have an interactable PC that has minigames (that I will make in LD54) - those will be my mini submissions for LD54, depending on the theme.
Game engine: Godot 4.1
Art: Aseprite/Photoshop
As the title says, I'm in. let's see if I can't make something, something game related.
Right now I'm trying to come up with ideas for all the ideas that are being voted on.
oh also I'm using Godot 4 and Aseprite and probably Reaper/LMMS
I've been learning Godot (and GDScript) for a few days, looking forward to starting the development of my first Godot game ever. I had been mostly using Unity before, it was time to learn new engines. The sample projects are quite educating.
I'll probably make a 2D game with pixel-art for WebGL platform. The primary reason why I didn't choose UE5.
I had started learning Godot by its 4.x version, but found out that 3.x is much more suitable for WebGL games. Web game not working in macOS is a dealbreaker for me.
Hey, I saw a post by PoV about that you need to introduce yourself in order to get on the whitelist and get the opportunity to post (I hope this is still relevant).
So I'm Alex. I'm 25 years old, living in Moscow, Russia. I try to make games on Unity (i'm a developer, but jams require all the skills :D). I already took part in other game jams on itch.io and finally managed to remember about Ludum Dare in time :D
Maybe someone will be interested in playing my games. I will also welcome the harshest criticism. alexdv1.itch.io
Alright personally I think "Folklore" will win because of it's popularity, any other guesses?
I have something on my mind... Or my heart rather. It's not an idea. It's a ... concept? A state of being perhaps? A feeling? And I want to make it into a thang made in a game engine.
I never made anything in godot. So imma make this thang in godot. Also I'm not crunching 48h this time around since I'd pay a heavy price later on. (maybe next time)
Long story short, this thang might suck.
I am at peace with the possibility.
I'm looking forward to this LD.
Last Ludum Dare, I was blindsided by the changes in Godot 4.x with respect to HTML5 exports. My old automation system for Godot 3.5 did not work any more, so I ended up posting that one on itch.io instead.
I've put together a revised configuration for Godot 4.1 that will use GitHub Actions to automatically publish a game to GitHub.io when the repository is pushed. You can find the configuration and some instructions over on my blog:
http://paulgestwicki.blogspot.com/2023/09/automatically-publishing-godot-41.html
Does it end with the start of the jam? I cannot find any notice about that.
We're Trans Rescue, a small Dutch NGO that helps transgender people escape from places of danger. Most of what we do is deadly serious. This weekend we're taking a break to have some fun and maybe educate folks about the risks trans people face in many places around the world. https://transrescue.org
I will use Godot instead of Unity :D
Excited for another Ludum Dare! I'll probably end up using Unity for this jam, so I'll lose out on some indie cred, but I've only spent about 3 days total in Godot, and I like web exports, and I like C#. Jams are about having fun and making a good game, anyway, and I can do both of those better in Unity.
Besides that, I'll be going with the usual lineup of GIMP, Blender, Audacity, OpenMPT, etc. Good luck to all in the jam!
This'll be my first LD jam, and I'll be using... Turbowarp! In case you didn't know, Turbowarp (abbreviated as TW) is a mod of Scratch, a language using colored blocks and built-in editors. Don't underestimate me, though! What I lack in power, I gain in versatility-- there are hundreds of open-source extensions to add to TW to add anything from Canvas effects to fetching the Geometry Dash API! I look forward to what this jam is and :fingers_crossed:I hope the theme is usable :)
Shelter – So what the game is, see ~yawn~ … well, like, there’s this roof and ~YAWWWWNN~ Oh, sorry, I dozed off there for a second. Anyway, so you have to find shelterrrr… ~SNORE~ (In case it’s not clear, I am not fond of this theme)
Break the cycle – Hammer. Bike. Go!
Underground – Play as Jim, a downtrodden apprentice at a spice grinding factory. The problem is, Jim is weak. He has no muscles. His boss always yells at him: “You are such an earthworm Jim! Why is your spice always under-ground?!”. Poor Jim.
Strange machines – It’s time to sell some stuff to idiots! Is this a brick? No, it’s just a strange machine! That’ll be $500 please! What do you mean it’s just a snotty tissue? You’re clearly just not familiar with such a strange machine! $2000 or keep walking, bud! It’s not a con if your customers are too stupid to realise it’s a con!
Paths – Wow! This one is fun for the whole family! A sure-fire rollicking good time for young and old. It’s what we’ve all been waiting for. That’s right! Finally, we’re going to gamify GRAPH THEORY! WOO HOO!
Signal – Smoke signals… something something… semaphore...
Folklore – You are Johnathon Folk. And this… is Folk Law. What’s that? Oh, it’s lore? Oh. My bad. I got nothin’...
Overgrown – A game about drinking soup with a seven inch long moustache. Is it possible? Can it be done? Why hasn’t someone made this game already? (Answers: 1) No. 2) I said, no. 3) Just no, dude, jeez.)
Sanctuary – The mighty ship Tuary. Pride of the fleet. Bastion of order amidst the writhing chaos of the tumultuous ocean waves. What’s that? OH NO! A torpedo! RUN! FLEE! SAVE YOURSELVES! ~glug glug glug~ Now she rests on the dark and lonely sea floor. But who, oh, WHO was it that… Sank Tuary?! A jaunty point and click sea adventure investigation mystery. Hold on, is this actually a good idea? …. Naaaahh.
Salvage – The names Sal. Sal Vage…. Wait… I don’t really like where this one is headed.
Reflect – Step one, capture player’s webcam. Step two, show player’s webcam stream to player. Step three… well, that’s as far as I got actually. Eh. Let’s just call it an arthouse game and take the rest of the jam off.
Locks and keys – A match the pairs game where the only cards are pictures of Sean Lock or Alicia Keys. That’s right there’s four cards. A pair for each person… Game of the Year?
Keep the light on – You hooked up light beer to the full-strength beer tap at the pub. The barflies are starting to sober up. Their angry muttering is becoming almost coherent. Just how long can you keep the light on?
Tiny Creatures – Play as a single-cell amoeba. Float around. Respire. Float around some more. Over seven hours of gameplay, see if you can achieve your goal of moving 5 micrometres. Riveting stuff!
Limited space – Atypinggamewhereyouareonlyallowedtousethespacekeyonceper sentence.
Absorb – Now, wait… hear me out… Sanitary Napkins: The Game. (Wanna know something funny? I actually suggested this theme and I didn’t even vote for it in the final round)
And if you're one of those folks who's engaging in just utterly mind-boggling amounts of sex to prepare of the Ludum Dare... you need to seek counselling... really... we're worried about you... it's a cry for help
Yes, Godot 4.1 will be used.
My Framework
For some reasons my posts don't show up in the feed even thought I made several of them and I'm just trying to break through
If you're going to use Unreal Engine, as well as our team. You can try out my collection of plugins for rapid prototyping!
Tricky Prototypnig Collection on itch.io
Our team used this collection to build our previous LD games:
This will probably get swallowed up by all the LD54 posts, but "Foxcrate" (made from our LD53 entry of the same name) is now available on Steam!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2598050/Foxcrate/?curator_clanid=4777282
Hey folks! My apologies for the "radio silence". I was extremely excited to get many of you to help me test the new beta website, until the unexpected happened: I caught COVID-19. :cold_sweat:
This was a first for me. After getting over the flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, etc), I was left with a sore throat, body aches, and some serious fatigue. The good news is I have been getting better, but thanks to the fatigue it has been tough to work. :sob:
So again, my apologies for the lack of ... everything.
Final Round Theme Voting has kicked off! Cast your vote here:
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/theme
If you need an invitation code, visit one of our social media accounts and check for a pinned post with one.
Leave a comment below or send me an email if you have issues signing up or activating your account. I'll do my best to get to you.
Shelter is the best theme possible... :smiley:
(But if underground wins, I'll be able to do the same shelter thing anyways, so that's why I flagged it with +1 as well)
So, first Ludum Dare I'll do.
Tools:
Code: Custom Pygame engine.
Art: MSPaint.
Music: LMMS.
SFX: BFXR.
Good luck people.
So excited to make a game with my son this weekend!
This is mostly geared toward people using frameworks rather than engines, but the question is open to anybody! As someone who enjoys writing my games from scratch in game jams, I was wondering of some of the other tools that people who enjoy the same use. C/C++ and SDL? Python and Pygame? I'm also curious if anyone else uses Java to make their jam games. I always like watching Notch's archived streams from past Ludum Dares. Does anyone else use Java to make their games, or am I just weird? 8 hours to go! Good luck everyone!
First Ludum Dare I am doing.
Tools:
Code: Custom Pygame engine.
Art: MSPaint.
Music: LMMS.
Good luck to everyone!
Imma do it on Godot all alone, I'm excited!
Excited to get to it!
I have no prior experience in coding, so I decided I want to join and work with AI to help with code and art. Are there any limitations? Also, I chose Game Maker to develop the game. What do you think?
I suggested Blink, Sink and Jinx without thinking too deeply about them. I thought that people may come up with interesting gameplay or interpretations.
The Slaughter Round was fun to fit into my breaks, though the number of repeats and bad themes were surprising. So much DisUnity! First time that I managed to slaughter to the finish line!
Hello. For a few days - and to celebrate the next LudumDare, my puzzle game Theorem is available on Itch.io for free. Not the best game which has never been made, but it’s fun for a while. Take a look at the reviews from players - or its main page on Steam. Just a gift for you, my friends. Have a nice day. Stay safe. I wish you the best during the LD session. Bye ++

Haven't attempted one of these in a while, hoping to submit my first game this go around.
lets make some games!
The last few years I participated in the Jam with my high school students - this is the first time in a long while I'm participating solo! Here goes!
Hi. I falied previous time, hope this time will be more succeful.
Modeling random stuff in blender for practice, although I'm not sure I'll actually make a 3d game. We'll see, based on the theme. Planning to join the compo so I better get re-familiarized with making programmer art. I haven't felt this excited about anything for years :grin: It'll be a lot of fun! And most of the themes are pretty good! Have fun y'all. Get hyped!
At the beginning of the week I was ready to do this jam. However, the last week at work was an internal Hackathon which was super fun but it's left me feeling way more exhausted than I thought it would haha so I think I am gonna be doing the Extra format instead so I can recover lol
Hello everyone, this is my first jam. I hope it will be fun, educational and productive. GL HF! Go to sleep:)
Select which themes you voted +1 for and see the live results! This is just for fun and usually doesn’t predict the winner, but I enjoy doing it. It’s a flawed system since it doesn’t consider -1 votes, but again, it’s just for fun.
I'm gonna do the Compo. I will use GameMaker and Aseprite. Have fun everyone!
I will do the Compo. As tools I will use GameMaker and Aseprite. Have fun everyone!
HI!
A few years ago, I had an amazing Monster Collection and Battle Fangame I worked on in RPGMaker XP - that was before I could program, but I was still very proud of my accomplishments. The Lawyers™ came though, and this particular sphere was smashed up pretty badly.
I didn't release anything by that point, but of course I now had a doomed weekend project, which kind of made me angry, then sad, then made me realize I "simply" could work on my own world, which kind of led to me discovering Godot, learning to program, retraining from teacher to being a programmer and here I am now.
The graphical assets from that time are mostly useless without context (also I was even a worse artist back then lol), though the music kind of makes me happy to this day. For that reason I decided to give it to the world for free. Even did a little Player widget thingie with which you can preview each song before committing to a download o:
tl;dr: Songs you are free to use for the Jam! Wowie!
Just finished new prototype. It's mix of base-defense and twin-stick-shooter. I'm looking for any feedback to improve the game. So if you have couple minutes while we are waiting for theme, you can try and leave feedback.
You can play it here: https://neltile.itch.io/the-core
Thanks in advance
Almost 4 years to the day me and @Pegasys created our first game together, not long after having started University. Now 4 years later we are both full-time Software Engineers and are about to make our 5th consecutive entry.
Some very interesting themes here. I'm personally hoping for Signal or Salvage. Once again I implore you to not vote for Shelter. It's almost as bad as harvest was. But regardless I hope we all have a fun Ludum Dare.
Here are the tools we will be using.
Engine: Unity Art: Photoshop and Aesprite Sound: Audacity and sfxr
This will be my 8th Ludum Dare. Hopefully I've learnt something in that time. This weekend is a bit busy but will see how it goes.
Tools I'll be using. Engine: Unity Art: Paint.net Sound: sfxr and Bosca Ceoil
This will be my first attempt at a ludum dare game jam. I did a smaller game jam with a team once a few years ago, but haven't coded in a while. Let's see how this goes.
As a Unity refugee and aspiring 🦀🦀 Rustacean 🦀🦀, I'll be doing this jam using the Bevy Game Engine!
I've always been interested in true ECS systems and Bevy seems like it's a great way to get into it! I've just finished up my first lil test game with it (a remake of the old flash game "Avalanche", remember that one?? so fun), and so far I'm loving it!
After about 12 years of doing solely object-oriented game development, it was certainly a significant hurdle to jump but now that I've got some momentum, I'm really starting to enjoy it!! Though I haven't learned assets or audio yet, so I imagine my LD entry will not have any proper graphics aside from some basic shapes, nor any music/sfx.
Any other Rust game jammers out there?? Let me know so I can check out your entry!
Hello! I’m in for Ludum Dare 54 giving my first attempt at a game jam ever!
I’m a bit of an amateur when it comes to programming and only have one game under my belt, but the idea of the challenge just seemed appealing. I’m not certain if I’ll actually come out of this with a finished product, but I’m going to give it my all in the 72 hr jam.
Also going to use this as my swan song for Unity before moving on to Godot. Now seems like a great time to see what else is out there in the universe.
Really excited to see what comes from it and I look forward to trying out all of your games in the ratings!
2nd time around, should be easier right?
LD54 LETS GOOOO :fire: :fire: :fire:
So, I have an idea for a game that involves a lot of environments and backgrounds. Unfortunately since I don't have an artist this time, and don't have a drawing tablet or any screen to draw on larger than my phone, making backgrounds digitally is very difficult for me. So I tried my hand at Kritashopping and bashing many stock photos together to see if I could make something that looks half-decent:
I was going for a kitsch, collage, cottagecore kind of vibe and I think I got it, it's VERY corny JKDSJKDAS. Also kinda looks like a Mr Beast thumbnail but oh well. I'm still not sure if this is what I'm going to stick with for the final game, but it's definitely efficient. The source images are all from Unsplash, so I have the rights to use them, it took me about 1 hour to complete, and in case I don't have time, I can just use the paper sketches as graphics, which take just 5 minutes max to make.
Actually my original plan was just to take a picture of the paper sketch and color it digitally, but I found that to be too difficult.
If anyone has any opinions on the style or their own techniques for making graphics efficiently, I'd love to hear them!
Time to learn Godot! This will be an interesting first project for Godot!
Drew a little something in anticipation. Feel free to use as wallpaper!
No better way to learn to swim than jumping in the deep end! This will be the first time I participate in a Game Jam as well the first time I will be making a game using Godot. Hopefully I don't end up drowning and I can't wait to see what everyone ends up making. :smiley:
This will be my first Compo.
Here's my choice of tools for this occasion:
Engine: Godot 4
Programming language: GDScript
Graphics: GIMP
Art: Krita + GIMP
Music: Bitwig Studio Essentials or FamiTracker
Sound effects: Phone's recorder app + Audacity or FamiTracker
Four hours left!
Our of all of the themes you've voted for in the final, which one would get you the most hype?
I'm personally rooting for two themes: Folklore & Tiny Creatures! 🧙🏻♂️🐾
Me and some of my work friends are gonna try this, our first Ludum Dare! Thanks for having us!
YO! Excited about this jam, this time I'll try to make my assets in 3d so I made this pog paint 3d app for myself
This was made really quickly and very unpolished but you can try it out yourself here
Made with Rust BTW :crab:
I'm in, once again.
But this time, I won't be using Unity but Godot. It's have been a while since I wanted to switch engines, as I don't believe in Unity's future anymore and Godot is perfect for fast iteration. This jam will be the perfect occasion to push my Godot knowledge!
Also, as always, I'll be streaming the jam (mostly in french: https://www.twitch.tv/bastienre4). And Spinozarre, my friend and music composer, will do the audio!
Shelter
Break the cycle...!
...Underground, Strange machines, Paths...
...Signal??
Folklore: Overgrown Sanctuary <-- Salvage
(Reflect: Locks and keys, Keep the light on)
Tiny Creatures, Limited space
...Absorb?
Where can I improve?
https://ldjam.com/users/ltyrosine/games
I can offer the same to you, if you want, just drop me a line! Tks!! =)
If anyone is looking for a FREE tool to speed up their jam content grind
Creating palettes for 2d images or 3d textures
And texturing 3d models models quickly
Works great even at low resolutions with the downsampling tools!

Please 🅱️ike and 🅱️ub🅱️cribe and 🅱️mash that 🅱️ell 🅱️utton
I hope we remember to make a game this year
I am new to this new Ludum Dare format, previously, I created one game by myself, but this time I want to work in team. I would like to do an ultrasonic shooter, where you shoot by bottles, but if you have other ideas - no problem, but the main thing that I don't want to do it unically.
steen jumped the gun, this is the official COMPLETELY UNHINGED "we're in" post
the team this year is SLEEPY, STEEN, CART, ED, N3TT, "YOU ARE MOM"
we're aiming to, yet again, make a game not everyone will like
at least we won't be thirsty
Guys I wish all of us have a good time!
A new engine, a newborn son
One called Godot, one called Quentin
Not sure if I'll get anything done
But still: I'm in :)
I learned a lot of lessons from Januarys Ludlum dare and it directed me to where I should focus on in game dev, this Ludum dare will be about learning Godot, and how it works. along with acquiring a new coding language
I'm exhausted after a very hard month. But a jam to clear my head might be exactly what the doctor ordered.
If I do participate, it'll be with something extremely simple -- like, confining myself to a single screen. Pong levels of simple.
I used to use Unity for past game jams.
Tried Godot for the last one.
Now I'm thinking I'd like to give Stride a shot.
I'm very excited to do Ludum Dare this weekend! I recently had to leave my job and it's led to the most productive streak I've had in years. I'm hoping I can make something I'm proud of this time around with the extra time I have.
Steen jumped the gun and then the original post never showed up in the feed so this is the THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM OFFICIAL COMPLETELY UNHINGED "we're in" thread
This year's team consists of Sleepy (art), Steen (code), Cart (art and code), ed (music and sound) and n3tt (host).
at least we won't be thirsty
also if @chitoyuu is hanging around, hit us up bro, your comment last time made the jam for us
It's been a year since I Ludem Dared. And in that year AI has massively impacted how I work as a developer. I was planning on using: Github Copilot, Photoshop Generative Fill, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, ChatGPT
I don't see anything in the rules explicitly allowing or prohibiting these tools. But how do people feel about it? Does showing your work include showing your prompts? Is there a distinction to be made between using AI for coding, vs idea brainstorming or image generation?
Are there other AI tools you are planning on using in your project?
[EDIT] My bad, there is definitely a clearly stated rule about it.
IMO Copilot should be allowed. I'm much less sure about image generation.
In any case, there should be extremely clear disclaimers about what is, and is not done by hand.
After a mouthful of lasagna, we are ready to get down to business. The five of us will try the Jam format, some of us for the third time in a row !
Let’s hope there will be enough lasagna.
