Hi there, I’m a college student who will get in LD 25 this weekend! With little experience in game development(the only thing I made is Cheep Stack), I’m afraid that I might not be able to complete a playable game. Of course, I will try my best.
Engine: Unity
Graphic: Inkscape
Sound: cfxr (hopefully have time to make sounds…)
I’m kikito, from the LÖVE forums, and I’m joining this compo for the first time.
For coding, I will be using LÖVE as my engine of choice. I’m quite sure I will use some of the open source libraries I’ve published on my github page. My initial release will be a .love file, and I will try to port it to windows once the compo is over.
Art-wise, If I’m not able to get away with simple graphical primitives (rectangles, circles, lines, etc), I will try to get as much as I can from freely available repositories of graphics/sounds and generators. I will commit produce original art only as a last resort. For your own shake.
Communication-wise, I don’t plan to post here very often during the compo itself. Maybe one post during the development, and one post-mortem.
Regards!
Kikito
Monxcleyr Productions is in for Ludum Dare 25’s Jam!
Our tools of the trade:
Language/IDE: Python 2.7, Pyscripter/Notepad++
Libraries: Pygame, Possibly our #HJ Engine and Py2exe to create Windows builds
Sounds: SFXR
Graphics: Photoshop, Paint.net
Goats
And we’ll be creating timelapses with Chronolapse to upload later.
I took a part in the quite entertaning LD 24.
With that said, the upcomming one can only get better.
Now I am more experienced, know what is going to be thrown at me and I had realised that 48 hours is much less than what i expected it to be the last time.
Bring it on! There’s nothing that can surprise me now.
My toolset:
Code : Visual c++ 2008 / 2012
Libraries: ClanLib, Box2D.
GFX: Gimp 2.8, ExplosionGenerator v1.1
Sounds: FL studio 10, sfxr, MilkyTracker.
Timelapse: Chronolapse.
Good luck to everyone. Let pizzas and coffee give you the power to finish your game!
My wife (Octopi) and I will be partaking in some jolly good Ludum Daring this weekend. Pip! Pip! Jolly Good! Ahem.
After a year of chaos, and having to leave my job due to ill health in August, I think a little Ludum Dare therapy could be useful, so we shall be Jamming this weekend to see what mess we can make. I haven’t done any coding since August, so this’ll be a good chance to see if I can concentrate enough to do anything.
We shall be running about as Arcade Badgers, and using HTML5 and ImpactJS.
Art via MS Paint and GIMP.
Sound via sfxr and Audacity.
Music (hah) via LMMS or MilkyTracker.
Should be fun!

i made a little 2d lwjgl base game (just in case ;)) my warmup game. But i hope to make another game after my LD24 attempt (:
Code : Java
Libraries: lwjgl
Graphics: gimp/photoshop
Sounds: sfxr
goodluck everyone
I made a game for Hack-A-Jam, and I posted it here as a warmup game. It took me around 6 hours to make everything (Code/GFX/SFX/Music and lots of playtesting).
I am very proud of what I’ve achieved… even though it’s a very simple game, I think it’s a lot fun to play it.
So I am here sharing it with you all

Yea, I’m in! And I’m pumped. This time I’ll go for an “HTML5”-game in 3D. I love trying out new things in LD. That’s one of the most fun things for me. I recently took a look at three.js (WebGL/Canvas 3D-lib for javascript) and fell a bit in love with it. Hopefully it loves me back
Code: Javascript
Libraries: jQuery, three.js, buzz
GFX: Blender 3D
Sound: Renoise
Editor: vim
Well this is my second Ludum Dare, and I’m looking forward to it. I’m feeling a little more prepared this time, mainly due to taking part in the warm-up weekend. Here is my warm-up entry. I enjoyed playing around with particles, and hope to get them into my entry.
I’m thinking of creating a time lapse this time around. Rather than installing any software, I’m planning on using a bash command to take screenshots. I will be following the ideas in this post. My question is how long to leave between frames? I’m thinking every minute, but what does everyone else do?
I will be using Vim and Fireworks for the creation of the files, and standard web languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
just made my mind today, not really sure what i’m going to do, or with what i’m going to work
Probably:
XNA
GIMP
starting totaly from scratch and with no real plan!!
Code: Flash/Flixel/FlashDevelop (probably)
Sound: bfxr/Renoise
Graphics: Dia/ASEprite
Let’s do it!
Fenmar finally conviced me to compete. I never have done anything like this so… what do I have to write?
I will probably use Dreamviewer to code PHP and HTML and maybe Photoshop for some Artwork.
I don’t think I am prepared for this.
So I continue to test my library before release tonight. Does it work with small mazes?
Sure does.
How about medium ones:
Great. But let’s get a challenge going.
A 76×120 maze:
Click to enlarge.
Looks good to go.

Quick level generation.
I’ll be using this in my next project.
Oh and the times here are based on the debug build on a VM, they improve on real hardware using a release build. For example that big maze can be created in under 830 ms.

I’m tired of failing to make games, so I’m in. It’s not like I can’t make games in theory (I have degrees and shit), but as projects go on they tend to die, and their corpses litter my harddrive. So it’s time to make a game. An actual game, and not a loose collection of code that that really really wants to be a game one day but can’t sustain my enthusiasm long enough to make it. So I think Ludum Dare is pretty much perfect to kick things off.
I’ll be using HaXe with haxepunk for the programming. I’m not very familiar with either of them, to be honest (been playing with them for the last week), but I’ve done a lot of AS3+Flixel stuff, so maybe it’ll work out.
I guess Gimp for graphics, sfxr/Audacity for sound effects, and maybe Otomata for music. I doubt I’ll have any time to be ambitous on the sound front, and it’s not like I have any instruments lying around – but we’ll see how important it becomes.
I also live about 20 minutes by bicycle from the Tokyo meetup in Kichijoji, so that should make for good motivating. Nothing quite like desperately coding in the middle of the night with other people.
Should be fun Been spending time getting a quick build framework under my hands, should be able to have it in place within a couple hours of starting.
Will be using flash and brains
For my first Ludum Dare, i will use :
Art : Gimp and Alchemy,
Music : Hydrogen , Linux Multimedia Studio,
Code : Notepad++, Javascript with canvas and createjs (http://createjs.com/).
Good luck !
I’m in, this will be my first LD, hopefully I can finish, or at least deliver an executable 😀
For my entry, I’ll be using this unfinished, hacked-together engine that I rolled some time ago, a minimal framework named excessiveOverkill, I’ve put it here on github, it’s full of bugs, have no architecture at all, completely undocumented and no sane person would use this horrible piece of filth 😉
It runs on Linux and Windows, based on SDL and OpenGL, any updates that I do to the engine will be pushed until the combo starts. I hope it’s okay to hack on it during the compo too.
Have fun everyone!
Career Programmer and Game Design / Development Professor here!
This is my first Ludum Dare!
I plan on using either set ups depending on the topic and what I come up with for a game concept.
Flash / Illustrator / Photoshop
or
Unity / 3DSmax / Photoshop
Very stoked to see what everyone comes up with!
Why am I crazy? Because I like to lose.
This year I’m planing on using Lua and Löve. I just started learning Lua last week and I’ve never used Löve before. This should be interesting!
I’m trying to gather a team. None of my possible teammates have used Lua before, and I might be the only one with game development experience. So it should be a good time!
This is my 3rd Ludum Dare and I’m a professional JavaScript developer. Thankfully Lua is a prototype language like JavaScript so I think I’ll be ok.
Edit
Good news, Dan Tripp is joining my team! Still waiting on one other team member and possibly an artist.
my english is bad, very bad :$
Code: Processing/Java
Sound: Ableton Live, Reason, Puredata?
Graphics: ArtRage, Photoshop, Paint.net
