It's my second time in Ludum Dare and I really hope to get some feedback from you guys.
Hopefully with your criticism we'll be able to improve a bit more each time 🙂
This game was made with lots of love, so I hope you enjoy playing it like we enjoyed making it!

Hi guys! At the neighbor Alakajam! community, we have hosted something special this month: 8 games from Alakajam! and Ludum Dare have been handpicked for people to compete on them, post high scores, and climb the leaderboard!
We're having a lot of fun so far, and it's quite a different experience to really play and try to master the games, rather than just test them to give feedback. The competition is fierce but there's still a chance for good players to get a spot in the podium.
Of course this is all just for fun, with no prizes or anything :)
The competition ends on May 31st, before we switch to the next big jam, planned for the 22-24 June week-end. The last Alakajam was pretty exciting as well, with 71 entries on the theme "You can't see everything". We hope to see you around for the end of the Tournament, and hopefully the next jam!
Tonight at 7pm UTC launches the countdown to the 3rd Alakajam!, starting with theme submissions! It will all lead to a happy week-end of jamming on June 22-24th :punch:
Our last event ended with 71 games on the theme You can't see everything (see winners below). We hope to see you there! :grinning:
This time I am teaming up with my friend @raffe! He knows how to make music (unlike me) so expect some killer tunes in our game 😆. He is also doing most of the art. My job is programming and generally putting the game together. Good luck to all the participants, and have fun!
I'm making highly story-based game for the 72 hour jam, and so far I have a character that can walk and talk. I also have some concept art, and I've planned out most of the story. A little behind schedule, but I think I can catch up for the most part tomorrow. And that dialog in the gif is just for testing, lol. :slight_smile:
Woo Hoo! he is going!!
annnnnnnnnnd he is dead.
Nevermind we still have a lot of spares.
Yes i can, just send me a title and if you want, you can make custom icon for your game(prefered size: 100x100 and it has to be a square).

I'm back for my second LD, this time I'll use Godot for a change :)
First of all, I'd like to point out that themes are supposed to be themes, not concepts. People tend to not see the difference, but it's actually quite big! Concepts are usually really restrictive, and I feel like we'll see a lot of copycats. I don't want to play a jam where everyone makes the same game, so by default, I don't upvote concepts, I only downvote or ignore them.
Automation: I like this theme, but I feel like it's a bit too restrictive. You basically have to create machines or stuff to automate some process, or having a story about someone doing repetitive stuff...? Meh
Break the cycle: I really like this one. It's clever, it assumes that your game or story has a cycle, and you want to break it somehow
Control the environment, not the player: Game concept
Each playthrough builds on the last: I like this, but I fear that this cannot be executed properly in 48/72 hours. I'd be happy if it gets chosen, but the quality of the games might be really bad
Everything grows: I have no opinion on that one, it's neither good nor bad
It only changes when you aren't looking: Game concept
Sacrifices must be made: This one is ok, but I feel like it's a bit too vague, and I strongly prefer the "Take one, leave one" theme that basically implies the same thing while being a bit more interesting
Absorb your enemies: Game concept, would create lots of Kirby copycats
Darkness is your friend: Game concept, lots of infiltration games
Don't trust the game: Game concept, horrible design
Magic, but at what cost?: This one is ok. Basically the same as "Sacrifices must be made" except it implies that there's magic in your game which is a bit restrictive imo
Making connections: This one is pretty clever, connections can mean a lot of stuff, and I see great game concepts that could derive from this theme
One item, many uses: Game concept, this can lead to clever games, but this concept does not seem exciting at all
Take one, leave one: This one is my favourite. Gives a choice/lots of choices to the player, and I feel like this can only lead to good designs. I really want to see this!
Two connected worlds: Game concept, same as LD30, not interesting, not innovative
Evolve: Game concept, not innovative enough
Fifth time entering LD, and second time with my friend @raffe! Good luck to you all, and remember, have fun! :smile:
Down with the sentences, join the cause people
I can do well: C#/Unity3D
I can do: BoscaCeoil/Audacity/Photoshop
I suck at: Gamedesign
I totally suck at: ART
I've done 6 (?) Ludum Dares and I work as a full-time render/core engineer.
Look at my games in my profile. I can and will get "it" done. I'm in the UTC+2 time zone. Wanna help me with ART and ideas and anything else? Reply here please, last chance! Otherwise you destine me to programmer-art-cubes and your-artistic-self to... no game? :)
Here's a video to help you setup for the Ludum Dare :-D Good luck y'all, enjoy the week-end :-D
