Play with the Gamepad or Keyboard+Mouse. To change push Escape Key, then Settings->Controls and choose in the dropdodown list.

It's a fun game. :v:

First jam, first post

Hey all. We finished our game for LD53 -- Animal Ferry. I did the sound, music, and game design. Hope it makes some nice moments for people.

Here's my game!

This is my game, Unread Messages! It's an isometric puzzle game where you make connections between cell towers to deliver texts. I'm planning on rating some games after work today, and I try to rate all the web games of people who rate mine :)

I did it! :)

This was my my first Ludum Dare. I did some smaller game jams on itch.io before, but never this one. And since I often failed to submit anything in time in the past due to having too ambitious goals, this time I limited my possibilities by creating my entry with scratch.mit.edu: No 3D, no shaders and limited performance prevented me from even thinking about anything too complex. And it worked! :) Thanks for all the effort which went in the organization of this event. I really liked it so far, and I'm excited to try out some of the other submissions now!

Let me introduce myself and my visual novel - Special Delivery

Hey! I hope you are doing well!

My Name is Alex Chertilin. It's my second LD. But now I participate alone. The genre is unusual, it's visual novel. I really like them, story rich games always in favour. Also I don’t have my working station now and this genre is affordable on my Macbook.

Please play your role in the fascinating story about Special Delivery https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/special-delivery-3

Thank you.

Lyrics to our Credits Screen: No Applause

Check out the credits screen on our entry for a treat! We put together a parody of a Radiohead song especially for LDJam. We tried to have it capture the experience of participating. I (Alex) sang the lyrics and @gregg-rossetti ran them through a vocoder!

No Applause LDJam 53

Production’s crawlin' to a standstill / For a game that won’t fulfill you / For users that won’t deal / The art we acquired was crappy / [Bring down the government] / It looks, it looks bleak for us. / I’ll take a silent prize / A pancaked sprite that’s cockeyed

No applause and no reprises / No applause and no reprises / No applause and no reprises / Kindness, kindness

This is the final build / I hope it doesn’t break for

No applause and no reprises / No applause and no reprises / No reforms or compromises / Please

Find me a coffeehouse / A latte would be awesome

No applause and no reprises / No more flaws or compromises / No reward for sacrifices / Please

Singing three takes back-to-back late in the day on Day 2 was a welcome break from coding. It helped me keep going! What did the rest of you do to cope with the stress of the last three days? 🤔

Play my game, I'll play yours!

Hey all, if you are looking for a game to play, try out mine, and if you leave a comment below, I'll play yours!

My First game jam

Honestly this was really fun and a great experience. Having the constraints of a theme really help me push an idea to the end. GIftrailer.gif https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/ignn-international-galactic-news-network

Tidying up

Phew, it was very tense but I managed to put most of my original ideas in the game! Now preparing the descriptions with the correct assets list. Also made a new cover, I think this one looks way better than the last one.cover.PNG

My First Jam!

I could have participated in ld52 if those days I did not have so much works to do. As not working in game industry, I can only do this during vacations.

This time I did it, unfortunately solve the problem of UI and build took me so much time so I got no chance to finish all levels.

At least, thanks to the jam let me found the problem of the plugin which I also used in another project.

Hope next time I do this better.

For the user that wanted the bird theme in suggested themes

I remember I have stumbled upon 3 super similar suggested themes for LD53 and it was Birds.

I compiled bird games that I have found so far to this list so you can try them out:

Ludum Dare 53: a spammy event postmortem

IMPORTANT: If you had problems with your Jam or Compo submissions over the weekend, publish it as an Extra category game and reach out to me over email and I can help out. If you were unable to create an account, do note that we had to blacklist hotmail.com and outlook.com email addresses, as well as reset passwords from these addresses. Follow this link to reset your password.

Yowza!

By now you've hopefully submitted your games and either had it or your account whitelisted. Regrettably this was something I was doing by hand. While y'all were making games, my day(s) looked like this:

Screenshot from 2023-05-02 10-00-26.png

When I was lucky, they looked like this.

Screenshot from 2023-05-02 09-58-37.png

Using that script and some hand crafted snippets of SQL, I managed to crush 6000 spammer accounts, and flag 26000 spam posts or spam games. I spent most of the weekend barely able to keep a few hours ahead, but a lucky few patterns discovered along the way were a huge help.

The first was mentioned above, the fact that a vast majority of spammers had hotmail.com and outlook.com addresses. New accounts were created every few minutes, from completely different IP addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6), and sat on for a few days not to arise suspicion before beginning their assault. Stopping signups from both domains curbed the sign-ups, but when the spam kept flowing from dormant accounts, clearing every hotmail and outlook users passwords was the best way to slow it down.

🎉

That didn't stop all the spam, but the volume now was far more manageable (only a few per hour). The problem now was the huge spam backlog accumulated over the past few weeks and months.

I got lucky a few times, that the super-spammer had some obvious patterns in their work. Many of their usernames looked like 0blahToaster, with a single number prefix and single upper case letter (or number) in the middle. That and a few thousand posts had consistent signatures in the body text, which I appreciated. :laughing:

Screenshot from 2023-05-01 19-29-06.png

After flagging those, it was a lot of grinding, searching for terms like livestream, john-wick, robux, and after a quick inspection flagging the whole lot of them.

By Monday nights end, I was finally through the last 4 weeks of new users, posts, and games. There are still many thousands more pieces of content left to review (roughly 60k pieces of content since I'm aware the spamming started), but the last 4 weeks covers everyone that created accounts while sign-ups were open. :sweat_smile:

Next step: Comments

Comments are a separate table in the database, so when I finish my errands today, I'll dive into those and start cleaning them up.

Switching to "Invite Only" between events

In about 2 weeks we're going to make a rather big change: between events, users will not be able to sign-up for new accounts WITHOUT an invitation.

Screenshot from 2023-05-02 09-48-15.png

The gist of it is that once a user passes some community "trustworthiness" criteria (TBD), they'll be able to generate invitation codes.

I want the bar for this to be low and not require my intervention, but in special circumstances I can whitelist jam site organizers and educators.

I definitely regret that it's come to this, especially given everything else that needs doing or fixing, but spammers don't play fair. 😢

Phew!

That's it from me! Again, feel free reach out if you're still having issues. I'll tackle them later today.

PS: Name and email changes will come a bit later. I want to push-out invite code support first.

First reviews!

First reviews of the game! it's very interesting to see the feedback from other users, go through our final draft too (https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/enerail) and leave comments so we can give feedback on your game!ZUfL3DXLUGg.jpgB946cQunsv8.jpg

My two absolute favourites COMPO games (so far)

I have played over 30 COMPO games, and for some reason or another I felt that these are two gems that should not be overlooked. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find them in the top 10 in the final score.

Deliver Us From Evil by @candlesan

title.png

It's a shooter in which you have to prevent the zombies from touching Delina's spirit. In case the cooldown of the shotgun doesn't give you enough time, you can use flares on Delina to give you a few extra seconds to kill the zombies. It may seem like a simple approach, but it's all so delightful, the sounds, the setting, the lighting system, the particles... it's all part of an experience that you can't put down until you've beaten the game. And once you get through it, it leaves a lasting impression (a good indicator that something has been done right).

earthmover by @dishwand

earthmover.PNG

This kind of sokoban is self-explanatory once you start playing. You flip a machine, in which you can only push the blocks in a certain position. But everything is so polished, the control, the graphics, the lines of dialogue (you can feel a personality of the machine operator and a backstory that goes back to the moment you play), the exquisite sense of humour, the sound, even the increasing difficulty of the puzzles (which you can overcome if you put some time into it), everything again makes a lasting impression when you beat it.

Play it here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/earthmover

Small team this jam!

I'm happy that we managed so well this time, our team was reduced to two people this time but we made it anyway!

It has a web build and an online leaderboard, how high score can you get?

Demon Delivery Service - Day1 Patches

oh boy what a ride, hopefully you all are good after the weekend

we made action/platformer and I woke up just to see that game has some major bugs that prevented from completing any area as some features of out random dungeon generator just broke :laughing:

Anyway, below you will find changelog of stuff fixed today and if you wanna check the game then it's here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/demon-delivery-service

probably few more stuff will need a fix but ughh I'm just a sound designer in the team of 7 people :japanese_goblin: let them take a look what should work!

gif3 (1).gif

v0.1.0.1

  • Fixed Double Death sound
  • Fixed broken inputs from game active in menus
  • sound volumes work again
  • Fixed splash screens
  • Fixed stretching of text in the options menu
  • Fixed enemies spawning inside rooms not outside (quite... useful if we wanna kill any of them)
  • Fixed music transition that had a loong empty space
  • Enemies sounds kinda works, but not always

  • Made game playable and on steamdeck swinging is a pleasure

FredEx

FredEx_04.gif

Fred was fed up with FedEx losing his packages so he took matters into his own hands. Created his own personal delivery service, "FredEx". Not sure how long he'll be in business though. :grimacing: :laughing:

CoveremImage/em3.PNG

Had a lot of fun with this one, and also plenty of frustration. Not sure if everyone experiences laughing directly into crying during the jam, but that was most of my weekend. LOL. Just happy to have actually submitted my first Ludum Dare. (I attempted one in the past, but didn't finish in time :sob: )

I originally had lofty goals of a crane type game to load your truck, (so that the stacking was part of it). Which I think would make it a little more 'sim-like', and give more player choice. As well as how much to load your truck vs actually pulling off the deliveries. I think all of that would've helped. Along with a bunch more tuning. But, 48 hrs. :laughing:

I really just wanted to make something that would make me laugh.

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/fredex

Bugs, ugh!

We released our game Banana Snatchers at the deadline. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/banana-snatchers

First time building a game with Godot and noticed some bugs with the core gameplay have crept in. Drifting seems to not auto stop as it should when you release the stick. Also HTML version does not seem to allow you to throw monkeys, button not responding. Throwing the monkeys is the core way to win the game so I will try to fix that.

First time trying a game Jam and it was fun. We definitely spent too much time on the art and not enough on controls and bug testing gameplay. But fun experience! Will participate in the next one and find time to rate some games for this round.MonkeyHurt (1).png

Some "robodogs"

Hello everyone, this is our first jam as a team. We had a lot of plans, but not everything was implemented. Time flew by very quickly, but the result is worth it: tons of skill, communication, ideas, and as a result, ready-made mechanics that can be polished into a finished product.

It was very fun and interesting. We were afraid that we would receive some negative feedback for an unfinished product, but instead, it was a surprise to have such a cool community. It's love at first jam! Hahaha.

We will definitely see each other at the next jam, and I am looking forward to it!

Some details about our game

Our game is a top-down 2d racing game about magical goods delivery. Every level is a maze and your task is to deliver cargo in one piece. It's not that easy - cargo has durability, and when you hit the wall, cargo gets damage.

Please, play & rate - http://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/ariadnes-thread-delivery

We created some lore for this game, but didn't have enough time to reveal it. Meet the magical Kingdom named Ezam ruled by king Minotaur IV and new delivery company "Ariadne's Thread Delivery" focusing on magical goods delivery. I made up a few atmospheric newspaper editions (named The Enchanted herald), which you could see in my previous posts.

We only had enough time to create 4 levels (with a bigger maze every level and more frigile cargo), but now realize ppl stop playing on first (maybe because controls are a bit hard) that's why I decided to show all the levels here xD

First level cargo - spell books for a wizard apprentice. 597f7.jpg

Second level cargo - a frozen apprentice wizard (he used the wrong spell) - deliver him to his master wizard to dispell. photoem2023-05-02/em22-27-25.jpg

Third level cargo - the bear. No question here. photoem2023-05-02/em22-27-25 (2).jpg

Fourth level cargo - the dragon egg. Secret delivery for the royal family.photoem2023-05-02/em22-27-26.jpg

I created 4 different game for this gamejam lol

The minute I got the theme, I thought about a space delivery game similar to Descent from 1994. So I coded the ShuttleController and created a very basic 3d space scene:

Unity_36avQixa3d.gif

Then I thought mmm why not create a 3rd person controller instead, to control the spaceship similar to Star Trek Starfleet Command ? I did it but then it felt like it was not at all fitting with the theme...

Then I felt like I wanted to do a 2d game instead, in a city. Why not.. so i created a new 2d project, and created this : game.PNG

Mesh.PNG

It was cool and it was starting to take some form, but I felt like i would not have enough time.. It was supposed to be something like : as the player, you need to deliver packages and stuff in the city but i dont know, I felt like i would not have enough time.

So Sunday evening, i ended up writing a very simple tilemap 2d grid script that allow a player to move on it in a turn based style. I had planned building construction mechanics and unit training but i was again running out of time so i simplified the gameplay to transform the game into a little strategy game where you need to plan your moves carefully to evade the enemies. :)

I hope you will enjoy :)

Our second game jam

Hi everybody

Ludum Dare 53 is my and @golahirom second game jam (first was Ludum Dare 50). We had a better feeling of how to start this time but we ended up overscoping. Through that we have learned the value of planing and organizing our game jam games. We are however fairly pleased with our final game.

The game is a point and click strategy game centered around delivering fuel to stranded spacefarers that have called for rescue while also avoiding obsticles.

Last time we made a twin-stick shooter. This time we wanted to try making a game in another genre. Unintentionally both games share the theme of helping people in space.

Sound effects and music is something new for us in this project. Last time we did not have either sound effects or music. This time we have included sound effects and I tried my hands on game music for the first time.

Check it out and tell med what you think the comments.

You are a prehistoric transporter who has to deliver the resources that are requested from the caves.

First you have to get the materials, felling trees or crushing stones, and then deliver them. Carrying wood and stone is very heavy and you are very slow. Luckily, you have a big holey rock where you can store everything and roll it to where you need it!

You can play it here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/delivery-rock

Enter a meditative state with DreamLoom

Are you feeling stressed out and in need of a break?

A subteam of Dubious Potions, a team of Swedish designers and coders, have got you covered with our latest creation, DreamLoom - a weaving game designed to soothe your soul and relax your mind.

Whether you know something about weaving or if you're a complete newbie, DreamLoom has something for everyone. You can follow the patterns generated by the game, or create your own freely.

Team and challenges

Our team duo @lillatorp and @KlasW worked together to sew this together (ha). We organized their work like a sprint and prioritized features together, using Midjourney for background art and Three.js + Vue3 for game development. But like any project, we also faced a few challenges, such as figuring out the logics between weaving in reality and the digital setting and finding the right level of difficulty for the gameplay.

While we had to leave some ideas out of scope, like a cool looking ending to the game loop and playing with shaders and textures on the yarn/threads, we still feel proud of what we managed to achive in this time frame.

Autopsy of a pheasant (weird way to say: postmortem of my avian carriers' game)

I finished writing the postmortem about my homing pheasant game: it's mostly about my design process, tools used, planned ideas vs what's actually been done, etc.

Careful: it's pretty long (almost as long as the game maybe? though there are no bosses in a devlog, or could there be? hmm something to think about :D )

💀 The land there is cursed and people living there are madlads 🥵. I mean, have you seen those giant anomalies👽? And there's also raiders 👹! I'd rather go through a minefield twice a day than drive there even once. Speaking of minefields... Military pays A LOT... 🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷

First (successful) game jam!

After entering countless Game Jams in the past, overscoping and underdelivering, I can now finally say that I am a fully-fledged Game Jam Submitter! Overall extremely ecstatic with the work that me & my teammate put into this game. Even if it's not the most technically impressive or more fun thing I've ever played, I'm really proud of what we've done.

You can play Delivery Duck right here!

Aspect Traveller?!

I somehow found this really good title named Aspect Traveller but I lost it! It's not on Itch and I can't find the link! If anyone sees it around please leave a reply here! It deserves to be rateeeeedddd! 😭

Introduction

We are Team LaMaSan! Happy about the experiences made during Ludum Dare - always learning something new - looking forward to the next one - thanks!

Any Bored Stats Majors Around?

Somebody really needs to put in the time to estimate the neonatal-sim to parcel-service ratio of this Game Jam... I'd really like to know just how many doctor simulators I'm missing out on. :T

Post Jam version coming soon ;)

I am working on fixing the building mechanic in the game so the player will be able to build trap to slow down enemy progression. I will also reactivate the combat mechanic since haha i have been asked about that by the reviewers ;)

Bored of delivering all the packages yourself?

Rawnhill post is hiring for the dispatcher position. Your job will be to coordinate their delivery trucks. Step in the shoes of a courier service dispatcher and work around the winding one way roads, construction sites and other road rage inducing annoyances of Rawnhill in this turn based puzzle game.

Mail! -> Restart control added [R]. Fly through the skyies and enjoy...

Hey everyone! Filip from Ethernal Studio here again, and I wanted to share some exciting news about our game Mail! We've added a new feature that makes the game even more enjoyable and engaging.

Link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/mail

Introducing restart control! We've heard your feedback, and we know that sometimes, flying through an open-world city as a mail can be challenging. That's why we've added a new control that lets you restart the game and set your position back 15 seconds.

Simply press the 'R' key on your keyboard, and you'll be transported back 15 seconds, giving you another chance to navigate through the obstacles and find the mailbox.

With this new feature, Mail! is now even more fun and accessible for all players, whether you're a seasoned gamer or a casual player looking for a fun way to pass the time.

And of course, Mail! still offers infinite levels, stunning 3D graphics, and an exciting soundtrack that'll keep you on the edge of your seat.

So what are you waiting for? Come try out Mail! and experience the excitement for yourself. And don't forget to use the restart control when you need it!

Thanks for your continued support, and we can't wait to see you in the skies!
