Is it allowed to create an entry that relies on an already existing multiplayer back-end? Thus still creating all the functionality on the back-end, but making sure there is a reliable and stable connection for others to play your game on? Instead of peer-to-peer I would like to try and make a dedicated server this year!

Second Ludum dare, same team as last time, let's see if we can improve!

My last LD was LD 35. Sooo yeah it has been a while but I can't wait to join this one!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to LD42. Been getting some practice in from my 12 games in 12 weeks challenge. Looking forward to putting the practice to use!

I released my first game on itch.io I made I 1.99 so I can raise money so I can give my brother a new pc that he wants. please check it out and give comments there are bugs that I have found and I'm trying to work it out. I know this game kind of sucks but it was a first timer for me hope you enjoy. :)

So here are my themes for LD42!

• They speak a different language (This is a game idea that i have from some years... i have a really interested concept around it but i am also a bit scared of how to create it... now i curious to see how people treat this!)
• Existential crisis (I have one once a week... and always i found that the solution is making games)
• Ikigai (My indie "career")

Hey LD jammers!

I'm hosting the 2nd annual Music Game Jam from Sep 1-15, where you make a music-related game in two weeks!

Last year's games included music-based tower defense, pitch-controlling platforming, and guitar shop management, just as a few examples!

There'll also be ~$200 in game prizes! :video_game:

PLUS we've organised YouTubers and streamers to play your entries and give you great feedback!

This summer went by so fast! I can't believe it's already time for the next Ludum Dare.
Thinking about moving back into 3D for this one, does anyone know a fairly robust 3D engine with a shallow learning curve?

Hi everyone I'd like to share with you my last game MATTER, a challenging minimalist looking game, you can download it for free or if you like to support it pay what you want for it, Thanks

Time goes so fast ;_;

I've chosen only the (supposedly) best of my 6 candidate suggestions. Wow, 2 less suggestions for everyone to downvote! This adds up to...

No, seriously, maybe this will encourage others to do the same :slight_smile: Why? Because :bacon:

Hey everyone. Ludum Dare 42 is just a couple of weeks away. I always participated solo, but I want to work with someone else this time, creating a better game.

If you are a 2D or 3D artist looking to participate in the jam but coding is not your strength, this is your chance. I'm a computer engineer with lots of experience developing games and using the Unity game engine.

• It's a game jam, so you need to be prepare to develop several models in just 72 hours.

• You don't need to know animation. We could find clever ways to create them with code. But if you do animate, it would be a great bonus.

• For the jam I'm not looking for really detailed models. By the contrary, simplistic or even low poly models would make things faster and easier to work with.

If you want to see my previous entries, where I did everything myself, go ahead:

• LD39: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/ted-crashed

• LD40: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/bus-mayhem

If you have any questions don't hesitate to comment. If you are insterested, contact me on discord: Martin#2351

This was made in illustrator as part of a new tradition among my friends where we all make LD wallpapers to use during the competition.

This image should be massive enough for most displays (8k res).

I don't care if you use or distribute or anything.

Good luck to everyone for LD 42!

I wrote a list-orial on preparing for a game jam, and with a month to go it seems like the ideal time to share it!

10 Ways to Prepare for a Game Jam

What prep step would you add?

Made a really simple Ludum dare 42 wallpaper in inkscape so that I'll be able to work without burning my eyes :P

Are there going to be any more mini LDs, or did they stop?
