Since the last Ludum Dare and my submission Matters of Perspective, I’ve learnt some things. Networking, and database storage / retrieval in Unity. Hopefully this will enable a unique social interaction in whatever game I make 
Hey guys, in for the 6th time!
We’ll probably be using:
Language: Java
IDE: Eclipse
Audio: BFXR? SFXR? one of those.
Graphics: Good ‘ol Photoshop.
We’ll probably whip up something with OpenGL.
Good luck jamming everyone!
Obligatory “I’m in” post is obligatory.
I’m planning on being able to participate again and looking forward to it! I’ve decided to have a look through some of the themes in the slaughter and spend the next week working on a game based on one to test my tools and my ability to make a game based on a topic.
The topic I decided on was “Seasons”, and I’ll be using the following:
Whatever I make will only be published as runnable jars, I’ve never been a fan of Java applets so my library doesn’t support them (maybe in the future if I need to, eh?) I’ve never tried exporting for anything other than Windows (as it’s the only OS I actually use, I haven’t finished setting up Ubuntu and don’t have anything Mac) so I guess this’ll be the time for me to figure that out as well.
I’ve got a lot to work on and more to test, and I wish everyone luck in preparation for and participation in our next Ludum Dare 😀
Hi Everyone, I´m In! Looking forward to the next Ludum Dare! Never done one, this is my first time… I´m learning everything… so It will be great practice! I´m not a designer, nor a programmer, just a hobbyst! Currently I´m a Psychotherapist… What am I doing here?! Well having a great time! With awesome people! Sorry for my English, it´s my second Language.
Tools:
Engine: Unity3d with C# or Boo, haven´t decided yet… I like C#, but I know better Python, so I like to use Boo whenever possible.
Drawing Tool: Inkscape for vector graphics, or Sprite Something IOS for fast Pixel art.
Sound: Ableton Live 8 and FMOD Studio to script the music into Unity…and have different music for battles, etc.
Ok People see ya at Ludum Dare!
Never done this before, but it seems like everyone is making these posts!
Can’t wait!
Don’t worry, I don’t speak that way, I just wated something more creative than “I’m in”. Anyway, I am very excited about this LD (new web, hurray!).
My -things- I am going to make a game with
Code: VilTAGE (my own web ASCII game framework), Dart language
Graphics: have you read the line above? It’s ASCII graphics!
Sound: I don’t know. Probably BFXR and some online piano sound player.
So.. that’s it. See ya in the TOP 100!

STEP UP! AND TEST SOME GAMES!
Fixed up my entry from Ludum Dare 30
FIRE WATER STEAM
Hi there,
I plan to participate in LD #31 next week-end and the MiniLD #55 tomorrow!
Being roaming over there for one year at least, I want to be part of it with you this time
I make games at spare times since looooong looooong time but just released one in the real world (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/641447, oh yeah it’s a mahjong game ^^).
For the MiniLD I got the idea last night – not sleeping well searching for ideas – to make a game called “Prepare… to RACE!”. The goal of the game will be to prepare a formula one car before the race, adjusting elements like tyres or engine according to the weather, the track, and other parameters. After the start, computed cars will race with you and the best will win.
Goals and tools planned for the MiniLD :
Good luck to all and hope to see you there,
jhice, from France, La Rochelle.
Well I am in, this is my first Ludum Dare, but not my first Game Jam. Recently I competed in the Indies Vs PewDiePie jam, prior to that I’ve been practicing each weekend by making mini games to challenge my skills and prepare myself for what I consider the ultimate challenge “Ludum Dare”.
I’m nervous as hell, but extremely ready for the challenge. This weekend I’ll be getting my work stations ready, buying some more ram and setting up a stream all ready for the big day. I have no game plan beyond that.
The Tools:
Engine : Unity 3D
Language : C#
3d Graphics : Blender
2D Graphics : Pixen (maybe photoshop if I need it)
IDE: MonoDevelop & Sublime Text 3
Sound/Music : Undecided, plenty of great free resources in my bookmarks if I need them, otherwise i’ll be using my iPhone to record and Audacity to tweak.
I’ve watched on during many Ludum Dares and I am excited to finally be participating, I wish everyone a drama free event and the best of luck with what ever it is they set out to achieve!
Language – HTML5+JavaScript
Editor – Notepad++
Art – Paint
Sound – sfxr
Hey people!
I might be in for a single day Ludum Dare! It’ll mainly be some practice :). It’s my third time I’ll enter and it’ll hopefully be the second time I’ll finish!
Why maybe and just one day?
At the moment I’m sick (flu), as I have been for the past 1.5 weeks. And I have a “history” of being sick for long periods. Also I’ll be busy sunday for “Sinterklaas” (It’s a Dutch holiday, comparable to santa claus), wich will need some preparations. But I think I’ll find the time to do so.
What will I use?
I am still unsure about what I’ll use, but I’ll probarly go with these:
Good luck to you all!
And most important:
HAVE FUN!
-Dutch Derpy Guy
So first time for everything – I’m in for the Jam (less pressure)
I really haven’t decided what I’d like to use (it depends on the idea) so I’m putting all the variations down!
Language: Python, C# or C++
Engine/Library: Pygame, Unity, SFML
Art: Whatever feels right for style – pixlr, PS?
Audio: Bfxr … maybe
End note: This is going to go horribly wrong C: ……… I’m scared 😡
My main aim is to get something “complete”.Logiciel Allan is back in the place , we previously participated at the #LD26 and we are happy to be back for the #LD31 !
The final game will be converted for the Windows Store and Windows Phone Store for free !
See you the 5th december ! 😉
Right, in Finland, we have this thing called ‘pikkujoulu’ which is basically “Little Christmas.” You know those things called office Christmas parties? Right, just add darkness and lots of alchohol, and you’ve got the general idea.
So… ours is the 5th.
Now, see, Ludum Dare doesn’t actually start until the 6th. I know, it says the 5th, but it’s the 6th here when it starts. So I’ll actually be HOME when it starts. But I’ll have to avoid drinking heavily, and that’s not going to be easy because … it’s just not going to be easy.
So this may be interesting. Cuz I really want to do this, and I’ve been doing well on coding the Amiga demo for FAP (Finnish Amiga Party) which is today/tommorrow, but… we’ll see.
The timing is all bad, but the next week is worse – got server cuts and all that Tuesday and just tons of crap. So it woudln’t work to move it. It’s just pikkujoulut is just… the wrong day (: But it’s important too.
Wheee!
Does anyone know the distribution of different OSs and versions in use by LD participants? Specifically, I’m wondering if it’s worth the extra hassle of me supporting DirectX 9 (compatible with Windows XP) or sticking with DX11 (Windows 7 and up), but I’d also be interested to see how popular each platform is.
As usual, I forgot to post the personal library I will be using for this ludum dare!
Count me in
This will be my second LD and i cant wait in anticipation…
Programm ill be using are either Gamemaker Studio, Unity 3D or Java: Eclipse with LibGDX, im not quite sure yet
Ill be using Paint Net for Graphics.
My week after LD#31 is gonna be freakin’ busy, so the timing was terrible – but hey, I wouldn’t even be the same guy if I would miss any LD!
Circumstances are exactly the same as previously – no direct connection to the Internet, Notepad++, Lua, Love2D, Paint.NET, and lotsa retardness.
It still might be possible that I can’t join however; we’ll see.
After watching LD compos for years, I’m finally taking the dive myself. I’ll be using GM:S & Adobe Illustrator.
I’m entering the MiniLD with a Rocky training montage game.
It is based on Wario Ware and sees you alternating between boxing Ivan Drago and performing small flashbacks from a training montage.
I’ll be using Unity and probably MS Paint for this one. I hope that it will be easy enough to get some awesome music in, but we’ll see.
Hey everyone.
never done a jam before, and fairly new to game development. My only experience is on a longer term project (2 months) so I have no idea if I’ll be able to create something in the time limit!
I am hopefully going to try and enter anyway, but If I can’t make anything in time so be it haha.
Onwards to Dare!
I will be using unity 3d.
So I don’t really know how this works, but I really want to try it out if I have the time and patience 😀
Engine: Construct 2 if I’m lazy, or Gamemaker if I learn it before the jam
Art: Aseprite
Audio: Bfxr (probably)
I wish everyone good luck and I hope that this can be the start of my gamemaking career 😛
P.S Oh right, it’s the jam i’m entering… forgot to mention…
P.P.S Found this awesome thing called abundant-music.com that I might use 😀
First Ludum Dare. Gunnnnna be reet fun! Week is far too much to wait!
I’ve never completed a game, and could be because I expect too much out of my code and lack the advance knowledge to get that out in a timely matter. So I figured if I could get something done no matter how crappy it’d be a good thing for me
Im in for the second time!
GL all!
Hello in and all that jazz:
engine:Unity 4.5.3(going to use the old gui version)
audio:various stuff mostly sfxr and http://abundant-music.com/
modelling:blender 2.71b
art:Photoshop
text:notepad++
thart are all i darth think
why did I type it like that?
What Language: GML
Tools Used: Game Maker Studio
Other Tools?: Notepad++
I’m gonna try my best to enter most Game Jams 😀
I am not out. There, a non-stereotypical response.
I didn’t so much miss the last LD as much I realized I didn’t have enough motivational gas in the tank coming fresh on the heels of some major life-related changes. This time I’m hoping it’ll be different and that I’ll be able to prepare myself more psychologically for the battle ahead. I’m ready to get back at this thing!
Here’s the lowdown on my Ludum loadout:
Language/Libraries: Haxe and OpenFL
Editor: FlashDevelop and/or Notepad++
Graphics: GIMP and/or MSPaint
Audio: Probably the normal: sfxr and possibly PXTone with some help from Audacity
Less than a week away! I think I might actually try to submit something for the warmup because I’m experimenting with some new stuff. We’ll see!
Heyo everybody! This is indeed my second participation in the Ludum Dare game jam. Last time I used GameMaker:Studio. Now is time for some “hardcore fancy” coding from scratch. This is what I decided to use:
See you guys, have a nice day/night/whatever!
This is my second entry into Ludum Dare. The first time I entered was the last competition Ludum Dare 30.
However, while many of the things that happened last time are still the same, my lack of perperation and time, I feel that I actually have a better shot at this now that I know what to expect. So I’m going to jump into this competition head first and go down swinging, and have fun all the while.
So I started “Prepare… for RACE!” pen and paper first.
To be continued tomorrow!
Toolset:
As usual, I will be streaming at http://www.twitch.tv/simlpesmiler. Tune in!
Cheers!
I’m in! This will be my 11th Ludum Dare, and I’m eagerly looking forward to making something. I don’t know what I’ll make, but I’m going to try to do something new and unique (for me at least). Maybe I’ll make a puzzle game.
I’ll be using:
Haxe + Haxepunk for programming
sublime text for editing
GIMP for art
sfxr + my mouth for sounds
possibly LMMS for music
coffee for energy
Good luck to all participants, and remember to have fun!
Hey guys we’re live streaming on Twitch at the moment! http://www.twitch.tv/joylesssnakegames147
Hello everyone. This is my first LD so I shall be entering the jam. Hopefully it all goes well, it probably won’t.
I have yet to decide which language I will use, it will probably depend on what the theme is and the type of game I choose to make. Currently have Unity, Visual Studio w/ XNA and Eclipse all setup and ready, so at least I have a variety of options available if nothing else.
Anyway, I wish you all good luck and hope to see some great submissions.
Over the years I have been following many participants’ streams and never had the courage to join myself but not this time! I finally got over my hesitation and decided to join and enjoy myself.
My tools of the trade:
Most likely I will be streaming while at work to give back to everyone that I have been watching over the years, so if you cannot or do not want to join you might want to tune in and watch me fail horribly at creating art and music while implementing more and more bugs.
I am very excited and wish everyone good luck!
I’m in again. Hopefully this time I will post what I finish.
Tools:
Unity – game engine
monodevlope – IDE
photoshop – 2d
Spine – 2d animations
Maya – 3d
FL studio – sounds
For the first time I decided to join LD, and miniLD.
I will be using:
Good luck to all!
Oh man, December LD is one of the most exciting for me because it’s like my one last chance for the year to ship something. So I really, really wish I could join but just in case here is my “I’m in” post.
Tools:
– Gimp
– Unity with Javascript
– Music Garageband
– sounds: bfxr
– Trello for task management
– SimpleMind for idea management
My goal for this LD is to focus more on Music then art then theme. It’s also my practice weekend but the steam sale is so distracting!!
My wife wants to do a jam and school has worn us both down, so time to do something fun.
Graphics: Aseprite probably
Language: Java with LibGDX or c# with monogame. Something simple, depends on the pipeline
Music: Maybe my band will play something? www.dionysusparkranger.com
If any server side mechanics I wanna play with this new websockets library in elixir/erlang. but probably too hard for a jam :p
We have some ideas but it completely depends on the theme. We will be putting up a challenge white board and maybe we can stream our design sessions this time.
Good Luck everyone! (Also good luck on finals to all the hard working students out there).
@mpahrens
Hi! I’m going to joing my first LD. Also I am going to try and make something for the miniLD.
I will be using Unity, audacity, photoshop, 3dsMax,etc…
Good luck and have fun!
Last year, this time, we got together a couple of friends and made a game.
Protagonist last year
It was said to be disturbing and other adjectives that we appreciated. We hope to repeat those feelings in the unfortunate players who have the bad luck of playing what we make. Since it isn’t even clear who “we” will be this time, it’s even less clear what tools we will be using, but if I am to guess we will use cameras, microphones, toys, scissors, pens, pencils and various software (GIMP, Audacity, Inkscape, Paint.net and others). Probably it will be Unity that assembles it all into a game, but that is of course also not decided until we start.
Whatever the theme is, I wow to manipulate my co-conspirators into creating something that will have people saying This game is completly mindfuck and scary again.
And even more urgent than last year, it will of course be #NoSexism.
Depending on what you consider violence, it will probably be #NoViolence too.
My own personal programming goals are to succeed in:
Let’s forget life and have a fantastic ludum weekend!
Tags: #NoSexism, #NoViolence, #ProbablyNoCat, iamin
Lets hope I actually finish my game this time.
Going to be using Unity and Paint.net
Music will be done in reaper
With 6 days until compo, when does the theme voting begin?
I missed ludum dare 30 but I am back for this one (31)
I will be using unity, paint.net
Sounds will be from www.freesound.org
Who else is in this year?
This is the second ludum dare for me, the first being ld29 where I made the game Surf Ace with some friends.
http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=15148
It got a LOT of positive feedback and it made me really excited for this ludum dare 😀
I will use game maker 8.1 for the programming, its realy effective when IT comes to fast prototyping and I feel at home with the interface.
For music I will use all the instrument in the apartment and GarageBand.
For soundeffects I will use my ability to shout in to a microphone.
I wish you all a superawesone ludumdare
Jam on 96h Jam with rules, make game in 4 days (96h), prepare for LD 31 and have fun!
I dare you,
I double dare you,
I Ludum Dare you!
Im in for for both LD 31 and mini LD for first time & my first game.
Tools:
Unity – Csharp
Sketchbook
Sound- if enough time available – sfxr
Good luck to all !
Hi, i’m newbie and not sure if i need to post about Jam
Hope I’ll find enoguth time to complete game.
language: Java
IDE: eclipse
graphics: paint.NET, photoshop
libs: lwjgl (maybe)
text: notepad++
GL & HF guys 😉
Tags: jam
It will be my firts ludum dare!!!! I hope I’ll have time for making something not so horrible.
Tools:
Programming: Game Maker Studio: Ptofessional
Art: Inkscape
Music: May cgmusic…
Sfx: Sfrx
First time.
Language: Haxe
Engine: HaxeFlixel
Art: aesprite/gimp
I’m hoping my lack of artistic ability will result in something charming rather than painful. Goals include impressing my friends and making pretty code.
This year marks the first year I’ll be competing. I’ve kept tabs on the event the last couple of years, and I’ve participated in other, smaller jams a few times, so I have a decent picture of what will be demanded of me.
It’ll be the jam for me this year, with a team of two (an audio engineer and me on code/grafix)
Tools
Engine = Unity
Language: = C#
Text Editor = Sublime Text 2
Graphics = GIMP
Sound = My buddy
I’m pretty psyched to start designing. Only started learning Unity two weeks ago, but can’t beat the ease of distribution that it offers.
Goodlucky’all,
Mr. Grieves
Third time, third solo compo entry. Will probably use HaXe and HaxeFlixel again. But will probably depend on the theme this time – libgdx and HTML5 export seems pretty capable nowadays.
Haven’t really resonated with any of the themes I’ve come upon in the theme slaughter, but that might change. A three week relentless cold has made me a grumpy d00d indeed. Maybe I’ll make a game about the horrors of living in the north, fighting ice, polar bears and colds … er… mostly colds.
Hope I’m fresh in the head for a 48h session of extended Fredagsmys(R) with #LD31!
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I LUDUM DARED?: NEVER BEFORE
ENGINE: UNITY PROBABLY
LANGUAGE: C# PROBABLY
WILL I WIN: PROBABLY
WILL I POST EVERYTHING IN CAPS? : YES
GL HF
I’m in at last!
Tried to join for a few LDs now, but never really took the chance. But now is the time.
Technology?
Engine/Language: Unity/C#
Art: Blender, Gimp, Inkscape
Sounds: I have no idea, sfxr for starters.
I have no idea what’s gonna happen. But I’m gonna try at something new and original.
We’ll see.
So I’m not doing the regular dare, but the jam, with another person. We each heave main different parts to take on but its all toward the jam.
Me:
Game Engine: Unity
Programming language: C#
2D Art: Gimp
3D Art: Blender
Partner:
Game Engine: Unity
Programming language: C#
Music: Any audio software fits needs
Sound FX: SFXR
We almost did the last dare but some obstacles got in our way that didn’t apply to game design.
I will be doing the 31 LD(Ludum Dare)
Language:Java & c#
Software:visual studio but ((most likely eclipse))
3dGraphics:3ds max studios
2dGraphics:Photoshop& flash
Engine:UE4 or Crydev
2dEngine:Flash
Who knows . . . perhaps it was too ambitious to try to create a Halloween game two weeks before Halloween? Come October 31st, we had a rough but “finished” game, but boy did we underestimate how much effort it would take to actually get it on stores.
Rather than rushing out a broken, unbalanced game, we decided to give it a little more thought and care. Since officially failing the October challenge, we fixed a tonne of bugs, improved the balance, added a bunch of crazy easter eggs, leaderboards, and prepared it for submission to google play, the apple app store, the amazon app store, and a flash web build. (Got to love haxe!)
And at last, one month late, Werewolf Tycoon is available for free on Google Play! (http://joecreates.co.uk/werewolftycoon) Submissions for the Amazon and Apple app stores are pending review, but all the actual work is done.
It feels great to complete something, and Ludum Dare really helps provide the extra motivation to do that. However, if like us you fail to meet a deadline, do not give up! After all, deadlines are more what you’d call “guidelines” than actual rules. Or is that the pirates code? I forget.
Oh, and of course . . . I’m in!
[ ROUND 1 | ROUND 2 | ROUND 3 ]
[ ROUND 4 ☃ | FINAL ROUND ]
It’s that time again! Tune in every day this week for a new round of voting.
Special thanks to Sorceress, rxi and the31 for their help with the list.
I decided a good idea to practice for LD31 would be to recreate my previous entry.
Click here to download my new game.
There’s a noticeable difference between my LD30 entry and my practice one.
Happy LDing!
-Ethan
Here’s what I get after battling to find a way to do it, I finally got something working :p
There’s still lot of work to achieve! Next news in 4 hours, I hope.
Reminder: “Prepare… to RACE!” see my previous posts for more information.
Well, probably…
This will be my third time (in a row) doing the compo. Hopefully this time I will think of a solid game idea from the start and won’t waste a whole day… and I’m hoping to make a better game this time too. Guess we’ll see how it goes.
Anyway, my tools/tech:
Well, make sure to have a good time and good luck!
Hello!
Last time I gave up because i get notified about compo about 2 hours before. This time I know about the it few days before so I can prepare myself for it – still thinking about technology which I will use – html5 game or maybe standard desktop game based on technology which I will premade – we will see.
Good luck for everyone – also good luck for me :).
Regards.
Eryk “RootKiller”
Here’s a reminder I’m doing a presentation called Make it Juicy: Easy Ways To Make Your Game More Engaging on Tuesday, December 2nd, 7:00 PM EST (just 3-days!) via Twitch.tv. I’ll be discussing about techniques I use to improve the game feel.
Well, this will be my first ludum dare. so here goes nothing!
So, Here’s my tools:
Language: Java
IDE: Eclipse
Engine: Swing or LWJGL
Art: Paint.net
Audio: LWJGL’s Open AL or TinySound
I’m so excited.
Title says it all. I’m in, for the fourth time. Time flies, feels like LD #28 was yesterday. What I’ll probably be using and stuff:
Platform: HTML5/JS
Library/framework: Phaser(.io)
“IDE”: Atom(.io)
Graphics program: Paint.NET + GIMP for cool renders (more comfortable doing pixel art stuff + editing in Paint.NET)
Hopefully I’ll get something done in the coming week before the LD since I’m not really used to Phaser. Or JavaScript, actually.
Oh well.
This will be my 3rd jam and this time I will be trying to make things a bit different.
Language: Java as always
Engine: Unknown 3.0 (https://github.com/CUB3D/Unknown-3) Now using OpenGL through JOGL
IDE: Eclipse
Art (If you can even call it an attempt): Paint.NET
Sound: JFXR (http://jfxr.frozenfractal.com/#)
Hopefully I will be streaming at http://www.twitch.tv/thedwarfthatdigs unlike last time
Broadcaster: OBS
I’ll be using unity, gimp/paint.net,bfxr, probably sunvox
I hope I can create something more interesting than my last entry
This is my obligatory “I’m In” post! This will be my second Ludum Dare and I’m really looking forward to it.
Engine: Unity2D
Audio: Audacity
Graphics: Photoshop
Caffeine: Nescafe Dulce Gusto
This is the first time I’ve really used the Unity engine in anger, and a good excuse for me to get really to grips with it!
So, once again, I’ve decided that public humiliation beats inactivity, so I will join this #LD48.
My last game project was last time I participated in LD48.. I’ve mostly forgotten how my engine works, and I’ve not worked on it since then… It’s in a horrible state, but I think it compiles on both Linux and Windows. I might setup an empty skeleton project before LD starts.
I’m going to use my ExcessiveOverkill engine library, together with the editor for it, and I’ll be building it my custom CI-System called “Contigrator”.
Writing everything in C99.
I’m going to use Gimp, Blender and maybe J-WildFire for visuals, and audacity and maybe sfxr for sounds.
I’m going to write code in Eclipse.
Links to the custom software.
Contigrator CI: http://contigrator.wizznic.org/jobs/
Engine: https://github.com/DusteDdk/excessiveOverkill
Scene editor: https://github.com/DusteDdk/eoEdit
I hope to see more custom/homebrew/from-scratch engines and this time around, those are the ones I enjoy trying out the most. Let’s all have a fun time!
So, in preparation of the upcoming Ludum Dare, I decided to work on a small RPG, and reuse some sprite I made long time ago for a failed gamejam entry
So far, I got basic character movements and collisions, and entering / exiting buildings as well as a simple battle mode. Still not sure about adding a story, depending on my progression I will try to give some context to the player.
“Fancy meeting with a sleeping blob”
“I wonder what kind of programming books they have here?”
College school work won’t stop me! I still want to compete in Ludum Dare; I had a fun time last time (which was my first time). This time, though, I want to take part in the 72 hour Jam as that’ll give me the breathing room I need for my newbishness.
I sooo want to add my own song to this one. Here’s hoping I budget my time properly!
TOOLS
Code/Graphics: Game Maker Studio
Sound: Audacity
Ideas: ME!
Our team is in.
We’ll be using Unity in C# and probably gimp, not sure about sound yet.
-FBS_Elayune
Getting your toolkit arranged for the LD Jam this weekend? Maybe you want to add this one to the list! Simply turn an image file into a Photoshop swatches file for fast and easy import. Great when combined with those color ramp generators found around the web. No more copy-pasting color values one at a time!
As I said in my previous post, this LD I’ll be using CraftStudio to make my game instead of Multimedia Fusion 2. Seeing as I know next to nothing about CraftStudio, I’m participating in the MiniLD to prepare. The game will be released before this Friday.
A quick teaser GIF.
Procedurally generated track done Need opponents and the possibility to custom the car.
See you tomorrow, good night to the sleepers…
(click to see the animated gif)
Code: Visual Studio 2015, C# and Snap (my very early prototype game engine)
Graphics: Maya LT & GIMP
Audio: Audacity & Sfxr
Streaming: X-Split & Twitch
Hosting: Azure & GitHub
We here at Pixel^3 are now declaring war amongst all ye who develop games for the Ludum dare! As per custom, we shall commence the listing of our tools and our monkeys.
Tools:
Code::Blocks for coding
jeEngine for the game engine
Bfxr for sound effects
FamiTracker, Audacity for music and sound processing
Paint.net for art
OBS for Alucard’s stream
Monkeys:
Jellonator
AlucardX60
MK/Emelia K. (composer)
May ye all make good games and eat week old leftovers, beer, caffeinated beverages, and various snacks that get your fingers all greasy and orange and stuff.
I’m going to be using Twine this time. Nice and simple and something I understand. I’ll try not to make the mistake of learning a tool while developing this time.
And ain’t nobody goin’a tell me othe’wise.
As usual, I’ll be livestreaming the whole thing over at http://twitch.tv/quill18!
I’ll be using Unity — though I’m not sure if it’ll be 2d or 3d. Depends on the theme, I guess!
Hello!
This time of year has come again. This will be my 3rd time taking part in the compo. I did OK on the two last ones, and I am to do even better on this one.
Engine : Unity2D or 3D, unless I change my mind at the last minute, which is very possible.
Graphics : Photoshop CS5
3D Models (if I make a 3D game) : Blender
Audio : Bfxr
Music : A random music generator, not sure which one yet.
Good luck to all participants!
This is my first time joining, I’ll use
Engine: Unity
Sound: SFXR, BFXR
Images: Gimp/paint.net
and hope for the best. I am excited to give it a try, even knowing my limitations.
I am in for yet another jam. Sports are going to screw up my times for this one and make me have not a ton of time. I’m hoping that this will be my last jam with straight scratch java!
Edit: just like I have past jams, I plan to live stream it all at http://twitch.tv/turkey2349
I’m in for the 48 hour compo!
-Development environtment: GameMaker Studio
-Sound: SFXR and Reason or Famitracker depending on how chippy I want my tunes.
-Graphics: GameMaker’s built in pixel editor supplemented by Photoshop CS5.
Happy voting, everyone!
Yes, regrettably, I must inform you that we are (probably) not going to participate in this LD.
We haven’t missed one since we started back in LD24 (although last time we were unable to complete and submit our entry).
There is another project in need of our attention, so… That’s that.
If we find the time, we might whip up a quick entry, but nothing too fancy.
So… Happy LD-ing to everyone, and good luck!
I’ve been testing my tools and building up my languages functionality while thinking up a small game idea, and the language seems to be keeping up nicely (not like Java VM fast but calm down this just a baby language). I might find a way to make the game fit into the MiniLD theme or just say the theme comes from the fact that it was made for preperation, I don’t know.
I’m also setting myself a challenge: My Ludum Dare entry will be written ENTIRELY in my language, of course using the library behind it. This’ll give me ample oppourtunity to stress test the current features, critiqe the syntax and refine the direction I’m going with it for future features.
This Ludum Dare will be the most productive one I’ve had, even if I come out with little to nothing to show for it game-wise.
last time i got no idea what to make and the time before i made something buggy T_T this time i hope to make a really game with start and ending (hopefully with a great story 😉 )
i am going to the jam ludumdare (as always )
this time i will use:
Engine: unity3D 4.6 (new GUI system the uGUI)
Code: C#
Graphics: GIMP & cs6 photoshope (if i will find someone to make art for me it will by great 😀 )
Audio : Bfxr
Music : A random music generator maybe this: http://tones.wolfram.com/generate/
Just a reminder that over the LD weekend I’ll be streaming on Twitch. Unfortunately for America, you’ll probably be asleep due to America’s -7 hours on Britain. Oh well. I’ll be streaming from around 8:00 UTC until around 21:00 UTC with gaps on both days, so check me out on twitch.tv/jthistle and follow me for a notification of when I’m live, if you can. Happy Ludum Daring!
“I asked for a car, I got a computer. How’s that for being born under a bad sign?”
Yes this will be my 9th appearance at Ludum Dare.
I’ll be using my usual suspects, Flash w/ Flixel Framework, Photoshop, BXFR, Autotracker.py (for music)
Good luck to all who enter and remember “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
Have fun all!

We are in!
My gf @CatOutline and me, first LD together. It will be an experiment, can we make a finished game as a team?
She is in a very good progress of learning drawing/vector graphics. I will do the coding
Planning to use:
Code
– Phaser http://phaser.io/
Graphics
– Inkscape
Audio
– Audacity
– Possibly howler.js?
– We will try to record some sounds, or even music.

Where/How can i see all the game that i submitted to LD?
Thanks a lot.
Been a while since I lost entered Ludum Dare, but looking forward to doing it once more!
Tools: Eclipse, Fireworks 8
Libraries: Slick2D, Lwjgl
See you in five days!
So, back for yet another LD entry.
I sadly missed a couple of them recently because of other duties that kept me away from my computers during the LD weekends. But this time things will be different, this time I like scripts.
My tools will be:
And my battlestation will be too much of a mess for me to feel comfortable posting any pictures of it yet.
Either way, here’s to another fun weekend of coding and community. Hope all the rest of you will be having as much fun as I’ll be.
Last time I did the Ludum Dare, it was a complete failure because I could not get it to compile on Windows. This was mostly due to working on Mac and using C++. This is usually not a problem but I was using libraries that could not get to link on Windows.
This time (if I do get the chance to do it), is to use a different language. I was wondering which language would be a better choice to use:
All 3 languages will work on most platforms (natively or web) but I can decide which one to use.
If I was to use Java, it would use LWJGL (version 3 now!!!) and try get it to work in an applet. This however I would be using plain OpenGL (not WebGL).
If I was to use Dart or Haxe, I would compile it to Javascript/HTML5 and use WebGL. I don’t know if this would be good as I don’t know how many people can support WebGL (especially within the Ludum community). Also cannot decide upon Dart or Haxe. I’ve messed around with both languages for awhile now and I like them both very much. I like the fact that Haxe can compile to virtually anything but Dart seems to be closer to Javascript which is easier for the web. Of these two, I’m probably swaying towards Haxe but only ever so slightly.
So out of the 3, which would be the best option?
