How to create team for Ludum Dare ?

Good Luck everyone !

Will take it easy though :) Sleep well, eat good and try to be less ambitious about whatever game I could make lol

4/21/2017 - 10:30 pm (Lisbon Time) I'm about to go to sleep for 3.5 hours. I'll be waking up at 2 am (my time) when the theme is announced;

I'm still unsure if I will be able to submit a running game, but still, good luck to everyone! ;)

Weapon of choice: Unity and others I don't know yet :)

And thanks Mike for continually working on this site

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

i'll probably compete in the jam, using unity. I dunno yet though

I'm planning on making something for the 48 hr compo.

I'll be using UE4 & VS2015 with programmer art being made in Blender/GIMP. Sound effects will be generated in bfxr (or similar).

Hey guys, Im in, and will be using Unity, have great fun everyone!

...probably not. Although I've done plenty of other gamejams, so there's much I can teach you young Padawan.

For example, did you know:

A lethal dose of caffeine for the average human is 10 grams.

So go easy on the tea/coffee/redbull people!

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this. Especially as I'll be taking part at a real-world meetup in Plymouth, UK

JAM ON! :sunglasses:

This will be my first Ludum after wanting to do it forever. I'll be going solo and using PhaserJS since it's what I know best as a web guy.

I have time off of work and I am ready to rock!

I'm going to use:

• JavaScript with one of: 2D Canvas, WebGL Canvas, or CSS render
• One of: CanvasQuery/Phaser/Custom Engine/Three.JS
• FL Studio/Bfxr
• Photoshop/Note Paper
• Most likely reuse some utility functions to get started

Test.

Looking forward to shaking some rust off the ole' game jam making machinery. Woo! :)

Due to it being my birthday during the event, I thought that I would buy myself a new keyboard (more specifically, one that doesn't make a sound so that I don't wake anyone one at 2:00am) and a new graphics tablet. This time around, I have prepared with a schedule so that I know exactly what I am doing and how long I shall spend on each section of development (including coffee breaks).

Tools I will be using: Art: Paint.NET Sound: FL Studio / Audacity Development Environment: Game Maker: Studio Professional Edition I was going to use C++ with Code::Blocks but I am still learning how to fully use the language to a high enough extent to program graphical content efficiently and quickly.

Good luck to everyone else, let's have some fun and make some games!

I'm working in a team for the first time (with soxfox) so that's awesome! He will be doing art. This will be my 8th ludum dare. As usual, I'll be recording a time lapse for my youtube channel (OfficialCodingNetwork).

IDE: Eclipse Language: Java Audio: Musescore + (possibly) either bfxr or boss rc-505 (or both) Recording: OBS

Good luck everyone! ^.^ :D :3

YAYAYA

Hi all!

3rd time participating. I'm not sure what my tools are yet, we'll see what the theme inspires.

More than anything, I'm looking forward to playing everyone's entries!

Tools:

• Visual Studio 2015 (C++)
• SFML
• BFXR

Can’t seem to go to sleep now.. Just preparing some things.

Tools:
Unity
Gimp if 2D? Blender if 3D? not sure which way I’ll go
Audacity, my digital piano for some improv, SFXR probably

This will be my fourth Ludum Dare I think. I didn't finish a game in the last Ludum Dare so hopefully I will finish on time this time around. I will be doing the compo.

Tools:
Framework: Phaser.io
Art: Photoshop
Sound: Bfxr

Everyone good luck and have fun this weekend!

blahdugwd

Done the jam a few times, this time I'm going for the compo!

I had a lot of fun actually completing a game last year so I'll give it another go. Creativity is best with time constraints.

My first Ludum Dare, gonna use Unity3D and the hype is over 9k!!!! Probably gonna ask a lot of questions along the jam :P

I am new here for the jam! I am really excited to see what I can do in the next 3 days, YEAH!

Status: Creating a new game!

Opinion: Hoping Dark vs Light wins.

Comment: I will name the game after Greek Mythology if it does win. Maybe if it doesn't.

Dare!

Hi everybody and have fun!

Programming: Java, Libgdx

Art: Aseprite

Sound: probably sfxr, if there is time I will record effects

This will be my first jam and i'm very exited. Good luck everyone. And anyone from Turkey come say "Merhaba". :D

Remember to take lots of breaks! You're all gonna do awesome! Let's make some games!

Okay! As you may have noticed, people are posting now. :smile:

I quietly enabled everything just to see what happened. And it looks like, @yukonw won.

https://twitter.com/mikekasprzak/status/855521331944857600

Nicely done. :wink:

I posted a teaser video earlier to show how things worked:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x4B07TgXOM

Here's a few more things I didn't cover.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaAga8Bx72I

Apologies for the very rushed video. :wink:

Here's how you add Team Members.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wusBykoWYs

Things you should do:

• Visit your Team Member's user pages, and follow them. Once you've mutually followed each other you are friends. This is how you make teams.
• Join the event
  • Adding team members is coming. For solo (compo), just don't add any team members :wink:
• Post an "I'm in" post
• Add Team Members! NEW
• Upload Images in posts NEW

Things that are coming:

• ~~The button that lets you add team members to your game (find it in your user profile)~~
  • ~~I wanted to make sure general posting was working well, so I deployed early~~
• ~~Image Uploading~~
  • ~~I know how much you guys want this! Me too!~~
• Adding screenshots to you game
• Adding other metadata to your game
  • Download links, Source Code, a YouTube video
  • Embeds wont likely make it in for this event
• Publishing your game (typically it's disabled until the event starts)
  • You pick which event you're publishing the game to at the end (Compo or Jam)
• Uploading your avatar

Yes we will be doing judging, but judging may start at the end of the Jam instead of the end of the Compo. I'll have a better idea of when judging will begin as the weekend unfolds.

Oh, before I forget:

HUGE shoutout to @zwrawr and @noojuno

Those two have been amazing! Helping me with some key fixed and features over the past few days especially. It's thanks to them sharing the work I was able to get much of the site ready in time. :heart:

I'll be tweaking this post as I finish things, and I remember them. Ha.

I'm in! Gonna pull out all the stops for this one! Here we go!

I'm gonna use Game Maker studio for the first time in two years, so I don't really know what to expect. Luckily, I won't be doing it alone, so I guess it can be that bad. See you guys on the other side.

Hi ! I'm in for my 4th ludum dare :)

Programming : libgdx Music : cgMusic Art : Photoshop Sound : bfxr

I hope the theme will be "inconvenient superpowers"

This will be my first Ludum Dare should be fun!

Am I doing this right?

Instead of waiting or getting up in the middle of the night (like I used to do), I'll do some things different. I'm going to be a smart guy and just get some sleep so I can start fresh in the morning after having a (hopefully) NOT cold shower (the boiler is f'ed up).

Good luck to all who don't sleep and start beasting in the middle of the night and to those ones who actually live in USA where they nice time-zone is for LD :sleeping:

We're in with some friends! Can't wait for the beginning of the Jam! Have fun guys ~

Ok this is my first ludum dare, i like to take my time when doing things so i hope i can make it in time, good luck

Engine: Unity3D

Art: Paint. net

Sound: somewhere from the internet

The event started 16 hours ago.

Basically I just learned how to use Unity last month and I'll participate for the first time on this Ludum Dare! Don't know what to expect as an end result... Guess I'm just hoping to learn a thing or two and have a good time!

We're making a game with some pals with phaserJS, first time participating in ld!

This site and system is confusing.

godot, gimp, possibly krita & blender; likely renoise for music.

let’s make same games! B)

\o/ Am I posting this post to early.. Probably.in the last 3 hours! I've been practicing a new game engine to use this ludum dare! This LD I will complete my game, and make sure everything runs smoothly!:P So, it is on!!!! :)

//Tools

Scripting: JavaScript or Typescript with Atom Editor. Art: Paint.net Animation: Dragon bones. Engine: Superpowers for 2d or Unity for 3d, or godot. Framework: My own framework which I call “The Aether!!!!!!” 3d graphics: Blender & sculptris, or others Audio: bfxr, lmms, Audacity. Map editor: Tiled, ogmo, or an integrated editor!

AND LOTS, AND LOSTS OF SUGER AND COFFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are going to join LD38. Tools used: HaxeFlixel and FlashDevelop, Aseprite for graphics, Cubase for sound. Have a nice Ld everyone!

Getting ready to create a game with TeamScripta!

Hey guys! This is my first ludum dare! No idea what I'm gonna do xD. Wish me luck! Happy 15th anniversary LD!

I'm in! This will be my 4th Ludum Dare (also, in a row). I finally finished my first LD with LD37 so I'm hoping to continue that trend!

Using: * GameMakerStudio 2 * Aseprite

Not sure what I'll use for audio, hopefully I'll get there!

First LUDUM DARE! Happy to be in!

Me and mah bois are ready to roll out, and make some trashy game and come in last place! Just gotta keep the hopes real low and get surprised when we come in second to last.

My first ever game jam! I'm doing it alone and I can't wait for it to start!

Why can I technically enter a game before it starts?

Doing my first jam where I'm the programmer instead of the artist, and I haven't touched Unity since the last LD. :joystick:

What could go wrong? :sweat_smile:

Our first ever gamejam! Hope it'll go well. Have fun guys!

Solo compo. Rust and OpenGL as backend for a software renderer.

^

This is my first time entering Ludum Dare, so I'm looking forward to the next 48 hours!

I'll be using GMS2!

Good Job, @pov - you got a working system this time!

For the third time　now. I'll see what theme comes up and what comes up to my mind but more likely I'll be using Godot Engine again. But first thing is to get some good sleep. Don't forget to get rested too, guys and gals!

First LD :D Hope everything goes fine :D

I haven't really done any practice or anything so I guess I'll do some now (=_= ;)

Looking forward to taking part in my 4th LDJAM

Do I have any clue what I'm doing? Of course not! But to heck with it, I'm in!!!

This'll be my first Ludum Dare, and I am absolutely excited!!! I wish you all luck!

Although engines make game making faster, It removes polish, since you'd probably just add a lot mindlessly without testing it thinking the engine does everything. Also I think unity is ugly. Making it with pure javascript.

Alright, lets do this thing

lemme just gather my stuff real quick

Hello Ludum Darers!

Me and my friend @Quaternius are going to be collaborating together and enter the jam! This is a first time for me working in a team for Ludum Dare, so we hope this is going to be a blast! This is going to be my 9th LD, and 3rd for @Quaternius.

We decided to name out team: Qure (pronounced like "cure") it's basically our nicknames smashed together, short and simple.

@Quaternius is a great 3D artist and a composer who loves making low-poly stuff. He is also aspiring to be a full blown game dev and released 2 games on Google Play store.

I focused more on programming side and lately am into low-level stuff. I also released 1 game on Google Play Store and have a blog about coding, tech and such.

Possible tools we are going to use: * OSes: Arch Linux, Windows 7 * Engine: Unity 5.6 * IDE/Editor: Visual Studio Code, Vim, Visual Studio * Source Control: git, Bitbucket * 3D Art: Blender * 2D Art: GIMP, Photoshop, Aseprite, Inkscape * Audio: FL Studio, Audacity * Communications: Discord, Team Viewer

Good luck to everyone and remember to have fun! The prize is your game! Also, remember to eat :stew: and sleep :sleeping:!

There's four of us at the moment here and we're anxiously awaiting the theme announcement

http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-37/?action=preview&uid=110999

It was a one button game

...Literally.

I suck.

Start this LdJam with LibGdx. Downloading all the tools. Ready from spain

Super excited to be joining. This is will be my 7th Ludum Dare, and I am excited to work on such and excellent team!

Second Ludum Dare! This should be fun weekend!

I'm in for my 4th Ludum Dare! :D

0 experience, 1st game jam in my life :P

Despite revising all week, apparently I need to at the weekend as well... :( But hey, I'll try and sneak in some LD too! :) Good Luck to Everyone

In the past, it's been a pain to chase down people to help me package and test my Python games for Windows and Linux. I'm sure many of you have had the same problem.

That's why I'm making the LD38 Cross Platform Packaging & Testing Guild! Here's how it works:

• You add your name, contact info, and packaging/testing capabilities to the form.
• We have a spreadsheet, a *mailing list and an IRC channel only published to members.
• When voting begins, I'll publish a PUBLIC list of members' games for extra visibility!

In my case, I'm willing to package people's Python games for OS X, and test on OS X. I could probably do the same with other free tools if they don't require too much setup or reading. Seven other people have joined so far covering Windows, Linux, OS X, Android, and iOS.

If this interests you, fill out the form and then leave comments with your suggestions. Your opinion will hold extra weight if you are joining up!

This will be my first jam. I have no idea what I'm doing but it looks very fun! And maybe I'll finally complete a game :sweat:. Good luck to everyone! =)

Howdy, That's my second one. Please yell 'Scope' at me, whenever I exaggerate. Thanks.

Engine: Game Maker Studio: 2 Graphics: Paint.NET, PyxelEdit Sound: SFXr, Fl Studio, TuxGuitar

Oh, I'll also stream at http://www.twitch.tv/datmarv

So this is my first Ludum Dare, and i'm still new to game development. So good luck everyone!

A friend and I are going to be working on our 1st Ludum Dare. Using Eclipse, Paint.Net, BFXR, and Audacity.

Hi! I'm in with a couple friends ready to program, make some music, draw some sprites and have a good time. Good luck to everyone!

My first ludum dare game was 5 years ago with Faceless ( http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-21/?action=preview&uid=5454 ). I've since participated in quite a bunch of LDs and it always was a blast.

http://ludumdare.com/compo/wp-content/compo2/62148/5454-shot0.jpg (btw, does someone knows how to embed images in this new site?)

Recently I've been doing some work on a big game project on Unity, and a lot more work on administrative and other non-game dev related tasks that are extremely time consuming and soul-sucking. I haven't done real creative work in months and I been feeling like I'm going insane.

So, as I've heard from my good friend Stevemata that he was going for it's first Ludum Dare today, it hit me like a truck: I have to participate in Ludum Dare right now!

Whatever the theme, I wont get too hung up on it and I will try to do something I like most of all. My unity toolset is pretty mature and stable and I can't wait to put it to the test this week-end!

Let's do this!

I'm in. I'm just polishing my tools and getting my base code ready. I'll post the base code before the event starts in three hours. I'm so excited! I didn't even know what "Base Code" was until two days ago when I got the book The Game Jam Survival Guide by Christer Kaitila as a free ebook, and it says in the Ludum Dare rules that we're allowed to use it.

I'm so excited about this "Base Code" idea I'm tempted to write "Base Code" for a bunch of different genres before the next Ludum Dare and publish them for others to use! Well, we'll see how it goes, enthusiasm is fleeting. <3

For now I'm going to get back to getting ready.

My first Ludum Dare! I'll be live-streaming the development on https://www.twitch.tv/0as0

I'll be using:

Language: Java

IDE: Eclipse

Graphics: Paint.NET / After Effects / Photoshop

Sound: BFXR.net / Audacity

This will be my first Ludem dare ever, I'm an artist not a programmer but I hope I can put something together!

good luck everyone! find me on twitter @grumpypixel using gamemaker studio 1

Oh boy, it's mine and @rangerpro 's second LD. But this time around, @friendgineer will be helping us with music and other stuff.

We gonna use: Game Maker Studio 2; FL Studio; Aseprite;

Good luck everyone, and have fun! ;)

Hey everybody, I’m very happy to be part of this once more!

Kudos to PoV for progress on the new site! The streamers widget on the new site doesn’t incorporate Youtube or Hitbox yet, so I’m going to plug my “Ludum Dare Streamers” mini site (probably for the last time):

Also, some wallpapers because I felt like it, use as you wish:

Good luck everybody! <3

Tags: #LDWallpaper, live streaming, wallpapers

I missed out on last LD because I completely FORGOT... I kid you not. But now I'M BACK! Only problem is, like last year around this time, I have important exams coming up so I'll have to balance time between this and revision. My last LD, in August, was a great success so hopefully I can still produce something on that degree with the extra time constrictions.

I'll be using Java, bfxr and Paint.net- my usual set up that I've now been using for 3 years straight!

Can someone help me find how to form a team on ldjam.com? I can't seem to find where to add friends.

Got all 3 days off so I'll be doing the jam solo(I just really like the extra day lol). I'm feeling pretty confident I'll be able to finish a game this time, which is something I haven't done since LD31.

Using: - Game Maker Studio 2 - Photoshop - Either Pyxel or Spriter Pro(depending on what art style I go with) - Bfxr - Beepbox.co

Using SFML this time around because I'm a moron who likes switching engines every four months. I have a good feeling about it though, it meshes with my workflow much better than Unity ever did.

Also, I'll be streaming at twitch.tv/pixlark all weekend if you want to visit.

Tried last time, didn't go so well... But I'm back to do this again!

Tools: - Unity - Gimp - Blender (If needed) - MonoDevelop

I'll be using GMS 2.0, Corel Paintshop X6, Rytmik Ultimate for music, BXFR for sound effects, and a whole lot of love. Good luck to everyone and have fun! Don't forget to drink, eat, go for a walk, and sleep when you're tired! <3

I've got Phaser, Atom editor, using piskel for graphics and I'm ready to go! Hoping to turn something out in-between my homework this weekend :fingers_crossed:
