I’ve been waiting to see these kind of posts on the other site…!

returning for a fourth time with a small team.

Myself – Alexis

I’ll be doing majority of game mechanic coding, and working along side the other members for level design and asset creation.

Quentin from Studio Hiro

He’s our lead artist and will be responsible for spriting, map development, and assisting in level design

Harlan – my boyfriend and his brother Ricky

The two of them will be responsible for creating the game’s soundtrack.

We have a STRONG idea of what we’re going to make based on the themes so far; but we’re holding off anything further until the theme is released!

Software:

Unity 5

PhotoshopCC

FLStudio 12

Monodevelop (unless I somehow get my hands on visual studio…)

Super excited for this one!!!

-Lexi

this is my first time in ludum dare but i look forward to it good luck every one

I am going to make a tentative commitment to completing a game this weekend. Tools may or may not include: My Xubuntu laptop, an iPad with various music apps, Visual Studio Code, Ren’Py, Krita, Audacity, and maybe my electric upright bass. We’ll see what happens.

As always, I’m collating with the genius SkullPixel to make some music for him. Can’t wait to hear the theme, and get started.

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to say we are super excited to get started today (US time) on this amazing game jam.

Good luck to everyone!

Ben

Totally new to LD so let see what happens, probably going to hard to what doesn’t kill us make us stronger 😀

My first Ludum Dare.

2017 is a weird year for me anyway

Kit: Unity 5.6 with MonoDevelop, Gimp, SFXR, Audacity. Some Public domain spritesheets and music, but I don’t know if I’ll use them yet.

Still thinking about the game itself though. I know it won’t win or even place higher than the bottom of the barrel, but I want to test if I’ll be able to complete it and make it at least fun in 48 hours.

Good luck to all!

Hey guys!

Composer/SD here, myself and a programmer are looking for a few more to have fun and make something interesting for LD38!  We’re going to build in Unity and we’re looking for:

-Artist

-Programmer

-Game Designer

Our portfolios: www.soundcloud.com/darkartsaudio

Contact me at rg@darkarts[dot]audio

Rory

We’re a small team called “Les Escargots d’Eau Douce” with:

Damien C. as the dev and sound designer (Clickteam Fusion, Logic pro)

Lisa V. as one of the graphist (Photoshop)

and me, the second graphist! (TvPaint)

(We have a sweet thought for our LD, Sara J., who can’t be there this time)

GONNA BE FUN

Tools:
– C# 6
– Malison-dotnet
– Ascii

about that we can’t use made assets does that include models we have created or assets other people created like assets from the asset store in unity and thanks and when will the competition start and how do we create teams and can we post help about something while the competition is running and or can we surf the web about it and thanks

I have been watching Ludum Dare for a while now wanting to try myself. Unfortunately there was always something. I really wanted to be part of it but there was always  an excuse to not do it. I was either at work, off sick or simply missed it. Excuse every single time. Not this time! I am in and ready!

I am not much of a game dev yet but did some coding with Unity so in terms of tools, that will be the editor of choice alongside with Adobe Photoshop. Not sure how am I going to deal with sounds yet and shaders. Those are the areas I simply can’t handle well myself well. I really hope using free available assets is ok. Need to check the rules.

I noticed some people already have game ideas they want to implement, seems like that might be good idea. Might think of something today but on the other side it might be really good fun to roll with one of a suggested one. Not decided then 😀

How exciting!

If you want to get in touch feel free to contact me via twitter @indieforger (no DMs pls) or indieforger at gmail.

Good luck everyone!

Hope you all do well!

Not 100% certain I will be in, but just in case:

BASE CODE
PlanetUnity2
https://github.com/SmallPlanetUnity/PlanetUnity2

TOOLS TO BE USED
Unity
Photoshop
Audacity
Blender or Wings3D

http://www.fakemusicgenerator.com
http://www.bfxr.net

Aiming for the compo this time.

Tools:
– Unity + 2D Toolkit for game engine
– Photoshop/Flash for visuals
– BFXR for sound

So, this LD I was attempting to create a shooter with a sick OST. I made a lot of progress on the code (github repo), as well as writing one song, titled Searching out Someone. They definitely both need a lot of work (and for some reason MonoGame doesn’t want to load my .wav content files…) so I won’t be submitting an entry, but I at least wanted to show that I tried.

Oh, and good luck to everyone participating in Ludum Dare 38! I won’t be able, prior obligations. My brother, who is going to study Computer Science starting this Fall, also doesn’t seem to want to, but maybe he and I will team up on the next one!

Tags: hip hop, MiniLD, OST

I’ll be streaming development for the first time! I’ll be using unity and have about five years of experience in it. My primary focus is programming so watch if you’re interested. My goal for this compo is to break the top 100 overall. https://www.twitch.tv/frenchie144

Good luck everyone!

Second compo. Must do 3D this time.

Tools:

• Unity
• Blender
• Fruityloops

a

My name is Daniel and this will be my first LD!

Tools:

• Code::Blocks width the library SFML (c++)
• Audacity / BFXR
• Gimp / Paint.net
• (and maybe the website http://www.fakemusicgenerator.com/)

I’m going to be using a small scrappy engine built on top of Pixi.js.

My tools:

• Music: Ableton Live
• Code: Visual Studio Code
• Starter Code: https://github.com/johnfn/ld-warmup
• Pixels: My own pixel editor, maybe. Otherwise, Photoshop.
• Map Editor: Tiled

I think Tiled is the only thing about my tools that has stayed constant through the years. I love Tiled!

Goals:

• Finish something!
• Aesthetics #1. Always aesthetics.
• Maybe a little more story focus this time.

Good luck, everyone! Especially you, Ludum Dare website. You’re gonna need it.

I am so excited to build a game this weekend! I am going to use some base code of my own to store global high scores. I can’t wait to see who gets the highest score. Base code can be found here: https://github.com/CodeChomper/HighScoreBaseCode

Tools:

• GameMaker Studio 2
• Photoshop
• Illustrator
• Magicavoxel
• Aesprite
• Pyxeledit
• Maschine (music)

Tags: LD #38

I will be using

Game Engine : Unity

Art Programs : Paint.net, Pyxel Edit

Audio Programs : Audacity, LMMS

Lets see what comes out of this one

For the first time, I’ll be taking part in Ludum Dare not alone, but in a team. Me and my long-time friend, Abaddon, Behemkot or whatever name he’s going by now, will be joining Ludum Dare 38 as “Drifting in Yellow”.

Our tools will be:

• LÖVE
• GIMP
• Blender
• bfxr (it’s better than sfxr)
• … that’s it?
• It’s not a lot.
• No pizza or coffee for me this time.
• Just lots of water and healthy food.

Have fun jamming!

Second time doing a LD jam, and hopefully little better than last time.

I’m not sure what engine I’ll be using this time, depends on the theme.

Engine: Probably unity, otherwise self made

Visual: Gimp, ms paint, blender

Audio: lmms, audacity, fruity loops

This time I’ll try to focus more on the gameplay aspect, that was kinda left out last time 😀

This will be my third Ludum Dare, and i’m excited!

I might try something new this time tho. Maybe i’ll be using Unity, but maybe i just stick to regular old Game Maker.

Time will tell

I’m in for my 8th time! Ludum dare 39 will be my 3 year mark, which is kinda crazy! :0

This time I’ll be using:

• love2d with some base code and libraries
• sublime text 3
• bfxr for sound effects
• reaper for music
• aseprite for art
• candy for teeth
• coffee for brain

I feel very well prepared, and I’m gonna have a great time!

I will post some progress here, but mostly on twitter.

Good luck, have fun!

I made the getComponent() similar to unity in which you use Generic in method to get the component that you want.

Audio = FruitLoops, Audacity

Just a quick post to say that I’ll be participating in Ludum Dare 38!
My last Ludum Dare was LD26, so it’s been a while!

I’ll be using a web game engine that I developed myself, called Mudita.  You can find it here if you’re interested.  It’s not quite ready for prime-time, but the website does have a full API and some example projects.

Have a great jam everyone!

Today we are setting up and socializing, small group = the elite has showed up! 😉

Me (Roland) and Glenn will team up for the first time and do a Jam together. We call ourselfs Bald’n’Hairy (for obvious reasons). Roland will do the coding and Glenn the creative stuff like graphics and music/sounds.

Pontus will do a Compo, we think he dares even if he isn’t quite sure yet.

This will be amazeballs have a good feeling about this.

Stay tuned!

5th time for me. Tools I will be using:

Unity
2d Lib in c# build on top of monobehaviour

Another great year for making games!

Can’t wait to see what others will make.

Happy game making!

Going to be a fun jam with foxe doing the art and creative stuff and me doing the (barely working) engine handling stuff in C with SDL2.

It’s time!  Time for another Ludum Dare!

Good luck everyone!  I intend to enter, if all goes well.

Can’t wait to see what people come up with!

Totally the first Ludum Dare post! :smiley:

This is my 12th Ludum Dare, and I'm determined to break my current losing streak!

I'm using: * GameMaker Studio 2 * Aseprite * Bfxr * Abundant Music & GXSCC

Good luck everyone! Have a wonderful Ludum Dare!

I had to wait for the blog posts to be available before I posted my I'm In post, AND ITS WORKING :D :D. Mike - You are awesome!

I will probably be using Java (AWT, Swing, or Maybe OpenGL, very indecisive). Photoshop, sfxr. That's pretty much it.

I will either make a 2D game or raycast.

Thanks all, super excited, gonna get an early nights sleep now.

Watch out folks! A new Ludum Dare challenger has arrived! Good luck and have fun! :D

Game engine: Unity

3D modeling: Blender

Image/textures: Gimp

Music: LMMS

Say something

Yep, im in too. I dont have really any plans yet, I dont even know what engine im going to use. I might even write the game completely from scratch :/

tools: - Löve or pico8 - boilerplate: github.com/headchant/love-boilerplate - pikopixel - sublime

lets goooo :smiley_cat:

This is the second time I participate, along with a friend who participated too back then and new team members!

Happy jamming everyone!

Doing a Game Jam with @sawtan. Waiting for the theme to drop... Gonna use JavaScript/Phaser code by me and @sawtan will be the creative genius for graphics and misusic/sounds.

Felt the need to use that somewhere, but couldn't think of anything, so hey — post title! (Also, hooray 15th post on the site!)

Looks like this'll be my ninth consecutive participation, and I'm as excited as ever. I'll forego the usual list of tools I'll be using and simply mention the new ones, i.e:

Inkscape (Graphics): I've technically used this in previous Dare submissions, but this time it'll be my primary tool as opposed to a secondary option, as I feel I've gotten used to it enough to make it work.

Caustic 3 (Music): While I'm still very new to using this, I've made more progress with (intentional!) music creation using it than I have with anything else I've tried so far.

If you've not heard of these before and would like to use them yourself, you can find them here (Inkscape) and here (Caustic).

Have fun, everybody!

I'm in... Unless life gets in the way, silly life doesn't it know I have plans this weekend?

Will be using: - Unity Engine - Paint.NET - Spriter (maybe? got it the other day) - bosca ceoi probably

I'm using:

• Java
• FL Studio 12
• Paint.NET

I hope the theme isn't disappointing.

This is our first Ludum Dare, but we're super excited. Going to be working with @xthemex for this one.

Using: Unity3D, C#, Visual Studio, Photoshop, Blender, dropbox and more stuff.

Looking forward to finally be able to do another of these!

I'm a web developer by trade so it was going to be a React/Reduxey type affair, but given the tight deadlines and lack of experience with these tools (I mostly do backend) I may end up having to go with my usual raw JS Canvasey stuff...

Pumped for the Jam :D Good luck everyone

I'll be using HaxeFlixel, and that's all I can say so far. I'll be hanging out with friends on Saturday so I might not get work done until Sunday.

Hey it works!

Tools: Phaser, PyxelEdit, Tiled, Inkscape, BoscaCeoil or PICO8.

Happy jamming, good luck to all of you and take care for yourself!

Blog posting is up! It's starting to feel like LD!

Despite being crammed up with end-of-semester work, I'm going to join the jam for my third time. Who needs sleep anyway, right?

Team Scripta is in! Myself and @caramelcode are ready for our third LD! We're also SUPER excited to have an amazing composer joining us, Veuskemini! We've been preparing mentally, let's do this!

4 hours to go- I'm hyped!

Let's do this thing!

Using the usual tools for me: Unity, Visual Studio, Paint.net, Sfxr and Bosca Ceoil.

I'm hoping that the chosen theme is a good one.

First time doing the jam. Good luck and Have Fun Everyone!

I am in. This is my second ludum dare. I will try my best.

I am speaking here for my team, which is pretty big :). 10-15 people from Pixeland discord server will be on the same team including Kenney.

We will be using: - Unity3D - Blender, SkechUp - Paint.NET, Photoshop

We are looking forward to participating and seeing what others come up with.

Whatsup guys. Small indie dev from the US, joining my first LD :) Very excited.

Heres some programs i'll be using..

Engine - Unity

Language - C#

3D - Blender

2D - PS & Gimp

Audio - FL 12

Good luck!

I enjoyed my first Ludum Dare (37) and I'm ready for 38! I'll be away for a bit on Saturday but for the most part, I think my schedule is fine.

I plan to use GameMaker Studio, paint.net, and bfxr/sfxr.

Good luck to everyone else participating! :D

Been a while since I've done a ludum dare, so I guess the 15th anniversary is a good time to come back. Will most likely be building another NES game. Will be using the boilerplate code here: https://github.com/cppchriscpp/nes-c-boilerplate

Additional tools: - VS Code - Tiled (probably) - NES Screen Tool - Fceux/nintendulatordx - Famitracker - nesbox (web-based emulator. Yes, it's flash. Sorry. :()

Looking forward to a crazy weekend!

After many years of procrastrinating I'm finally doing it.

Engine: Unity

IDE: Visual Studio or Atom

Music/Effects: Mulab / Sfxr

Art: Gimp / Paint

I've joined about 50 game jams in my life, so I've come to know my abilities and limitations. With these in mind:

I hope to design something small. Something low on content, but rich in fun.

I plan to do AS LITTLE WORK AS POSSIBLE, and will take shortcuts wherever possible.

I am going to have fun, get lots of sleep, eat well, and go for a hike with friends outside.

These policies will help my enoy the weekend, but they will also lower the likelihood I even get into the top 100 games.

I am not here to win, I'm here to dive in and delight in the flow of raw creativity and inspiration.

I CAN'T WAIT!

Blog post with markdown! :smile:

What the title says.

I managed to complete my first Dare, failed to finish the second, and am curious as to which side I’ll fall on this time out.

Godspeed gamejammers! May your minds be full of inspiration and your mugs full of caffeine!

Oh man, this theme sucks! Oh wait, I'm a bit early on that. Ahem.

I'm in for my 5th LD. Using my custom C++ game library, Visual Studio, Notepad++, Photoshop, Audacity, FL Studio 12 and who knows what else. I typically come into these with a gameplay idea I want to experiment with. Not this time, so it will be interesting to see how things go.

Good luck to everyone! Remember, get something you can submit ASAP, then focus on polish and additional gameplay elements. It really reduces the worry of not having something to submit at the end. Also, sleep. Get as much sleep as you can get. Oh, and have fun too.

I'm super stoked to participate in LD 38! I'll be working with a friend who still needs to make an account...

Anyway, we'll be using:

• Game Maker Studio
• GIMP
• Reason
• Audacity
• Lots and lots of coffee

Let's do this!

Hey we are in for Ludum Dare 38. Second time participating in team and third time for me in total. I am most excited for the weekend. :grin:

Our tools will be: - libGDX (Java Framework) - Pyxel Edit for graphics - abundant-music.com for generating music and LMMS for polishing it - bfxr for sound effects - other tools we'll notice we need :sweat_smile:

I might be a little too busy this weekend to do too much but I'll try and do what I can

The Tesco run is done.

The fridge is stocked with food.

The snacks are on stand by.

The coffee is ready to be brewed.

And we eventually found a spare power cable for my friend who drove his PC all the way here...and forgot his.

Looking forward to getting stuck into LD!

All the best,

Tem

@Hi_ImTemmy

Who needs sleep anyways? 🦄

First time doing a jam, dunno what to expect really but I'm excited, we'll see how it goes. Wishing everyone the best of luck!

It's been a year since my last Ludum Dare. Doing it solo this time.

Never Entered before, First time for Everything! LETS DO THIS! 4 MORE HOURS!

time for my first LDJAM im here to have fun not to win :p

Good luck everybody!

It looks like I'm using Ruby + Gosu again! Probably Pixen for graphics (or just drawing primitives), plus sfxr for audio. No idea how music will work.

All that said, I'm in for the Jam, not the Compo, so I may also dig around in opengameart.org if I need extra resources.

There's a small chance that I'll make a last-minute swerve to using Unity instead... but I don't think so.

Woo! This'll be my...third? LD entry. I think. Don't quote me on this.

I'll be using Unity, Blender, Photoshop, FL Studio. Maybe Famitracker, depending on the #aesthetic. Might work with a group from my University's gamedev clup, might be the only one who shows.

at twitch.tv/ShaunJS!

This is my 9th LD in a row (counting my 7 hour entry for LD36!). Always the most magical of times =)

Feel free to take a break and stop by my virtual goblin army powered by my GMS2 twitch overlay!

-S

:loudspeaker: I'm in for the 48-hour compo. Happy jamming!

Good luck to everyone!

This one will be no. 6 for me! Using gamemaker studio as usual and probably sfxr for sound.

Good luck everyone!

Let's test the blogging feature of the site :-)

I am using will be using Unity, and Inkscape/Photoshop, bxfr, Audacity, probably Otomata (earslap.com) maybe Blender (not sure if 2d or 3d is my route)

I really am excited about this one, since I have been doing prework – making sure everything is ready to go so at 9pm, I can hit the ground running.  I never have done well with sound, but been practicing with music generation and sound in test games. I thinks I am ready to make sure I add some this time!  Got the website ready to take in the new code when I have a prototype, so I am really doing well on my prep.

Still not sure how much sleep I will schedule, I want to see how long I can work, but as I get older, I know I am NOT my best on just a few hours of sleep. LOL
