The last 2 Ludum Dare’s I was in i didn’t fare well.  This time, I’m going in with a different tool set and hopefully I’ll be ready to make something within the available time.  My weapons of choice this time will be Twine and photoshop.  I will probably need to make use of the full 3 days but we shall see.

Hey guys, it’s me again. Few days ago I told you that Life Sensation team were in… But recent problems in real life lead to the fact I’m now alone in the team this time as my coworker won’t be able to work with me this time! It will be a lot of fun I guess. Let’s make another game alone and hope it will be a good one :V

Ps. Sorry for (lot of) mistakes I wrote as I said last time I’m french and I don’t have a very good english level ^^”

Hey everyone! I’m an aspiring game designer from Russia, who is looking forward to gaining experience and having some fun this weekend at Ludum Dare 33! This is my first game jam, but I really like the whole theme thing and I think it would be very inspirational for me to work in such constraints. Also, I can’t wait to see what others are going to do with the theme! I expect the results to be so different, yet remarkably similar in some ways.

I’m going to participate in The Jam. Here are the tools I’m planning to use:

• Engine: Game Maker Studio 1.4
• Graphics: Paint.NET 4.0.6
• Sound: Bfxr 1.4.1
• Brain: my own (hopefully)

Thanks for reading, have a poorly-drawn ninja:

This is not really that related to the competition but mainly a question of style. What do people prefer?

• Tab vs Spaces vs Hybrid (tabs for indentation and spaces of alignment)
• Indentation Width (2, 3, 4, 6, 8)
• snake_case, camelCase, lowercase, etc.
• If applicable, brace position: K&R, Linux, Allman, etc.

My personal opinions:

• Hybrid (best of both worlds)
• 4 or 8 or 2 (depends on the language)
• camelCase or snake_case (depends on the language)
• Allman mainly but trialling out Linux

Last time around I failed and couldn’t come up with a good plan in time to execute it. Which was a shame because I felt like I was so prepared.

One thing I didn’t do was a good I’m in post, so that was definitely the cause 😉

Well, it was actually my lack of preparation with the tools I was using and I had ran into problems that I couldn’t solve in a weekend.. So like a good programmer I have learned from my mistakes and have taken on projects to keep myself familiar with my workflow. Here are some things I’ve done since the last Ludum Dare:

Procedural Dungeon Generation and platforming.

Auto Tiling and arbitrary Resource Management.

Anyways here we go!

I’m In!

I’m going to be using Unity 5, paired with Visual Studio.

I will also be using Blender and Photoshop to get those awesome (read: poorly made) graphics.

For the music side of things I will be using Audacity + LMMS + CGMusic or something like that.

This time around I have spent a lot of time learning my new tools available to me in Unity5. Well some of it at least. I will be taking advantage of the Event System, GUI and 2D stuff along with a few workarounds that I have learned to make things work right and fast. I also have gotten a sort of workflow down with doing rendered sprites from Blender.

This time around should be fun and will hopefully be less of a failure.

This time around I’ll be doing a Jam with friends. Got three of us programming, and another dude for art. Working in c++ using Angel2D. Fun times.

This will be my fourth or fifth Ludum Dare now (on and off unfortunately cause of school). Looking forward to getting back into the swing of things!

Tools:

LibGDX (Java and OpenGL)

Eclipse

Paint.NET

Bfxr

I’m going for it!

Programming Language: Java or C++ (Haven’t decided yet)

Engine/Framework/whatever: if I go with Java will be OpenGL else I’ll use OpenGL with Sparky Engine

Art: Paint.NET

Sound: Idk

Good luck and have fun!

PS: I’m going to try to finish the freaking game xD (Never finished in the 48 hours)

Hi guys,

This is my second experience in LD,

• Engine: Unity 3D
• Graphics: Paint.NET
• Sound: Pxtone
• Programming: C#

Good luck!

My fourth Ludum Dare.

I will be using:

Engine: Unity 5 or my custom c++ engine.

Graphics: 3d: Blender 2D:Gimp or Krita

Sound: Audacity

Proggramming language: C# or C++

I will be using Visual studio to write my code.

First game jam! Will be using haxeflixel, bfxr, paint.NET and FlashDevelop

Keen as mustard for LD33

Planning on hitting it up with Unity 5, only goal is to finish, it’s gonna be rad times

LD #33 is coming. This saturday (or friday if you live in the US) you will start coding your 48-hour game. Maybe you’re a pro, maybe you’re an amateur, or maybe you have absolutely no experience at game making. However, each and every compo competitor will have to code. That’s why I made two polls. Check them out and let us see how many use C++, C#, my personal favorite, Java and many others, as well as what engines we will be using.

Hi all

Super excited to finally take part in my first Ludum Dare. Goal: Finish anything.

Any tips from the pros?

Looks like my teammates are out! And this is my first Ludum Dare.

But nevertheless IM STILL IN!!! Except doing the Compo instead of the Jam now.

Weapons of Choice:

Unity 5 (Game Engine)

Gimp/Paint (gimp for transparency,paint for pixel art)

SFXR/Audacity (although I’ve had little to no experience with it)

Probably gona go 2d

Good Luck to everyone else whose in! Themes look great ! ^^

Hi there my name’s is Daniel and I’m looking for a programmer to team up with for this jam:) general I code but I though it would be fun with something different this time around.

here is some stuff:

I will use:

• Unity 5
• C#
• Paint.NET (and/or maybe Piskel)
• Bfxr

PyxelEdit (art)

FlashDevelop (IDE)

Bfxr (sounds)

Music … i don’t know yet.

The thing:  Doing it! 

I’m hoping dearly that I can just have fun this year, instead of worrying about whether or not I’ll do better than last year.

Pretty Things: Photoshop
Beeps n Boops: BFXR
Sweet Tunes:  This Thing probably

I running for my next ludum dare! ( my fourth) !
