This is going to be my third Ludum Dare and this time I have a helper!

Tools: Engine: Unity3D Graphics: Blender, Photoshop Music&Sound: BFXR, Garage Band

I'm in! Will use Unity and already made a blank project. So now we wait. :)

Music (if any) likely using sunvox with sound (if any) with bxfr. I'll frickin beatbox if I have to!

Using Unity, Gimp, Bosca Ceoil

Hello there wonderful developer person!

I heard a rumour that you Ludum Dari (plural?) like making games. We run a partnered server over on Discord called GameDevNetwork for all things gamedev, whether that be in the form of code support, bouncing back story ideas or just sharing your lovely work.

GDN is a friendly, supportive development community that aims to help you become the best developer you can be!

We host monthly(ish) jams with fabulous prizes (by which I mean stickers and PR mentorship, we strictly avoid monetary prizes, we're here for creativity after all!) and love spreading community flair.

We also have a #gamejam channel reserved to contain the intense action of fantastic jams such as Ludum Dare.

Drop by and talk about anything from your Ludum Dare project to what your favourite pizza topping is over here: https://discord.gg/gdn :tada:

I'm also an avid game jammer/hackathoner, feel free to poke me about AR/VR, code things or just some of the cool projects you've worked on :heart:

Update! There's also a dedicated LD Jam group over here: https://discord.gg/ucGcvKK !

This'll be my first jam! Very nervous, but also very excited! :D Good luck everybody!!

First jam for me. - C++ - SDL2 - Emscripten - GIMP

Good luck, have fun everyone!

I'm hyped to be joining LD 39! I expect to fail miserably and maybe not even finish, but it ought to be fun anyway.

2nd Ludum Dare jam. This time all alone! Good luck everyone.

As usual, a graph showing the participants' opinion on Twitter (#LDJAM). Collected at 21:00 UTC. As in the later events, orange-colored themes are more likely to be chosen, assuming our sampling (17 users) is reliable.

Most people have said this so i guess i will join in, this will be, i believe my 4th ludum dare? I'm not certain actually. Anyhow, good luck to everyone else in development. Should be fun

Only my second LD compo, last was LD35 and I'm sad I've not been able to join in since. Really looking forward to it! :D

Just the ordinary 'I am in post', this community likes to do. This will be my sixth or seventh around and I am as excited to start as always. Cannot wait to see how it will all work out this time. My focus as always will be to create something simple and fun.

I will be using Unity 2017 paint.net or photoshop blender (if anything needs 3d or I need pre-rendered imagery)

I think thats about it. Good luck everyone else out there. Enjoy

Still deciding on Jam/Dare, but excited to jump in! See you guys in a few hours!

First LD jam!!!

Join us on IRC for theme announcement! You'll hear it here first!

https://www.afternet.org/qwebirc/?channels=ludumdare

IRC is where it's at!

See you there \o/

Sup fellow Ludum entrants? Looks like it is that time again! :-)

3.5 hours till start and it will be 4am in my country. You could announce second place theme 6 hours earlier for those, who want to participate and do not loose at least 4 hours of beginning when you are most optimistic and willing to win.I would like to start earlier and try to create game based on second place theme ;) Loosing first hours of ludum dare is a bit discouraging and disappointing moment... every time :beers:

Phew I just finished rushing through all the work I needed to get done so I can do this! This will be my fourth Ludum Dare but my fist one without anyone helping me. I'm going to try and enter the Compo but it will be tough. If I have to enter the Jam that's fine as well.

I'll be using GameMaker studio 2 and Gimp for the most part. I don't have any experience with making my own music and sounds though (other than bfxr). I probably wont have time but if I do, does anyone have suggestions for free programs to get started with?

My goal for the jam is to set up and make a BEEPLE inspired world in VR chat. Brushing up on the SDK now! https://vrchat.com/sdk

This is actually a test

First time together! First time in LD! We will use: Java, LibGDX

My first LD, so excited, but scared but whatewer, I can always give up. Thats the spirit right ?

Me and my team are in for our second Ludum Dare. Last time we just cared about getting something out there, this time we are aiming for some actual quality.

Second time for me. First time went bad but not this time i hope. Good luck to all :).

Tried for 36 and I had a fatal error right as submissions closed. Hopefully better this time.

This is my first jam so im a bit nervous but some friends and classmates of mine are doing it too so it should be fun :D

The site is not very fast for me already so I just want to say very quickly that I could probably in.

I just hope I can start make a game despaite the theme, unlike last LD's.

If not, then I will take a long break this weekend. :)

I will be teaming up with Decaxon to create a Ludum Dare 39 Jam game.

We will be trying something new, I created a C++ OpenGL game engine this month so we will be trying that out.

https://github.com/Equilibrium-Games/Flounder

I'm in, still in bed, but Im in!

First timer here. May enter Compo.. or Jam, depending on how much time I'll find and if I have any ideas for the theme :-).

Will be developing in html5/JS.

This is going to be my first attempt at Ludum Dare. My goal is to just get a working game out before time runs out. :P

This is my second jam. I didn't finish last time, but I'm feeling much more energetic this time so hopefully I make it. I will be using Unity3d

First Ludum Dare. Not a lot of experience making games or even using the tools I'll be making the game with, but I'm ready to have fun and I'm ready to learn. My day job is in ruby and I'm looking forward to mixing it up a bit. Tools I plan to use include:

• Unity
• Gimp
• Bosca Ceoil or MilkyTracker
• Bfxr
• Littera

3rd time, using unity!

This will be my 3rd Ludum Dare. I'll be collaborating alongside my best bud since grade school Conrad Lee.

Good luck to everyone!

After skipping a couple of LDs just because I completely forgot the dates, I'll be trying again in the jam with a couple of friends.

We'll mainly use Unity, Photoshop, and whatever tool our audio guy knows best.

Good luck everyone!

I've never done a game jam before, let alone a normal jam, so we'll see how this goes. I'll be using Unity because I don't really know other engines well.

First Ludum Dare, third game jam. I will be using Unity3D and GIMP.

Good luck, have fun!

Real-life means that I can't participate on Sunday, so I'll only have about 24 hours to make a game. This is my 18th time participating...in a row!

I'll be streaming the entire process at: https://www.twitch.tv/quill18

With just a bit under 3 hours until LD39 and I'ma make it official. I'll be entering the comp, fo sho.

I think this time around I'll be using Unity '17.1, Paint/Paint.NET/Gimp, Blender, and Audacity/LMMS. I also think that I'm going to try and do a better job at documenting my progress on my main blog HERE if anyone's interested in peeping in!

Good luck to all!

With exactly three hours before the Jam starts, as I write this, I'm glad to say that I won't be doing my second Ludum Dare alone.

After joining a team on CrowdForge.io (go there if you need teammates) we've finally got roles and a pre-jam plan sorted, and all seems good... well, the fact that I'm the only one who has no idea how to use RPG Maker VM - the tool we're going to be using - is slightly unnerving, but I think I'll manage to get away without, seeing as I'm going to be focussing on the audio.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! ~Wolfie @Infinite8Games (Twitter)

It's a spur of the moment thing, but I'm in again for the first time since LD31.

I'll probably use Pico-8 as it's quick and dirty, and its graphics are better than anything that was available back when we had to outrun dinosaurs.

People, I wish you good luck during the jam!

My development weapons are:

• Unity
• Visual Studio 2017
• Blender
• Inkscape
• LMMS
• Guitar

Time to get some sleep before the big event is going to take off.

I'll be trying to participate this year. I am likely to be busy Sunday so I probably won't have a ton of time so I want to set my goals low if possible?

Still not totally sure what tools I'll be using. I figure I'll decide that (and post about it) when the theme is announced.

I will try to make a game for LD39 Compo, but I don´t know yet if I am already in?

It should be telling me "Hey Mr. CptSporkey, now you are really in!" but it is not :D

Joining in this time for my first Ludum Dare! I am really looking forward to this, although I won't be able to optimize my time, so this will be more of a test to see how much I can push myself with what I have. Using the newest version of Unity 6 as it is what I know the best!

I am in C# Mono/ XNA BFXR

_ Just finish setting every thing up under 3 hours!!

What I did today: * I practiced gdscript!

• Worked on my art style!

• Made improvements on my music and sound!

• Learned alot about Godot, and Superpowers!

• Finish setting up and improving my framework for Godot and Superpowers!

• Setup a crockpot for tomorrow!

• And hope it is a good theme.

:fingers_crossed: Fingers Crossed!!!! And Goodluck to everyone

Joining late as always for our 4th Ludum Dare :) As usual, we're a team of 4:

Bigbugaudio – music

Ionthas - coding

Albuixech - coding

Xarras – animation

We'll be using Unity since is almost all we know so far :D Good luck and have fun!

First time, trying it out for a bit of fun! I’ll be working alongside two other classmates of mine.

The tools we will be using are:

• Visual Studio 2017
• Unity
• Piskel
• Cubase 9
• Audacity

Okay, this is the second time I'm typing this text, because uploading an image deletes the text that is already there :(

I'm in and super excited about making a game once more! Ludum Dare starts at 3AM local here in Germany, the plan is to get a general idea and some code working until morning. Unfortunately, I have a family function to attend to on Saturday, but Sunday is pretty much reserved for LD. If it isn't enough, going Jam is always an option, but I'll try hard to make it until the Compo deadline.

Tools / Platform

• chances are I'll make something that can run in a browser, maybe plain HTML, or PIXI.js (2D), or Three.js (3D)
• Text editor: Coda
• Audio FX: Audacity
• Music (if any): Logic Pro
• Graphics: Pixelmator, Gimp, Cinema 4D
• Timelapse (but probably no live stream): OBS

Ludum Dare Streamers

I made a thing that shows you the Ludum Dare streams currently live, not just from Twitch, but also Youtube and Picarto. I'll try to hook up Smashcast (used to be Hitbox) too in a few minutes. On the new site it's not linked to from the sidebar anymore, but you can check it out here:

#Ludumdare IRC Channel

I'll probably be using: Engine - Game Maker Studio Art - Photoshop or Affinity or Pixlr Animation - Dragonbones Pro Effects - After Effects Music - Idk

I'm one guy and this is my first jam that I hope to properly participate in because my last jam was cut in half by distractions. Photoshop isn't working currently and unless I get it fixed, I'm using Affinity for intense edits and Pixlr for quick edits. I'm using Game Maker Studio, I don't have much experience in Unity 3D and barely any in Unreal. And the "one guy" thing was an excuse to not having any idea for music and sounds. Unless if bought assets from Video Copilot are allowed because then I have plenty of sounds. This is my first Ludum Dare but the previous jam was the GMTK Game Jam. Good luck everyone!

First Ludum Dare.

Second time. I'm pumped. Let's do this!

But I m not sure.

I am in for my 10th Ludum Dare! Not sure what I'll do or be using but it'll be fun! You can come watch me at Twitch.tv/Turkey2349 !

First time entering Ludum Dare, hope to have some fun :)

Going with C#/Monogame Art with Piskel or Aesprite Music with FruityLoops or Ableton Visual Studio 2017

:)

I've been loitering around Ludum Dare since it's inception when I was in college. I tried to actually do it in '12 but was incredibly ill and ended up sleeping the whole weekend.

Trying to enter the Jam this time.

SDL, C++, OpenGL, Other Media? (Pixelmator?, Blender?, Audio?(no clue... see if I even get that far)

Using Unity which will be a first for LD (probably use my own framework again next time), but been using it a lot lately so gonna give it a try for this.

I almost forgot about it. My mind was set for August, and, thankfully, I recalled today that it was rescheduled.

I feel like making a platformer, no matter the theme. I am vastly unpreprared and I haven't done any gamedev since LD37, but I'm sure it will be fun. I'm running SFML and btw i use arch.

I ragequitted from LD38 because I had bystanders. This shouldn't happen again this time, lul.

Tools: Unity, Spine, sfxr, Affinity Designer, ToonBoom.

Time To Make Some Godd Damm Games Yeah Yeah Making it with Game Maker Studio 1, and using Aseprite for pixel art, and Audacity for sounds. Will be streaming on twitch all weekend: https://www.twitch.tv/frankiepixelshow

Join us on IRC for theme announcement! You’ll hear it here first!

https://www.afternet.org/qwebirc/?channels=ludumdare

IRC is where it’s at!

See you there \o/

Second Ludum Dare, now with a team :smile: . Let's make a cool game!

My only goal this jam is actually finish something XD

This is my first time participating :)

I'm making a game. I have a good idea for one, that should work for several of the themes in the final round, so fingers crossed. I've made games before, mostly on itch, including one other LD game. I've mostly been working on a project called Babble Buds, which is a virtual puppet show software. Eventually I plan on integrating it into games, but it's not ready for that yet.

Anyways, I'm going to be programming in JS, using a library called pixi.js.

Getting something done in Unreal hopefully before the weekend goes again is the goal. Solo dev so I'm expecting audio and animation being the weakest parts but lets go!

Our team of four is looking forward to jamming!

This is now my 2nd Ludum Dare and I'm ready to make a game!

As I already said before, I AM IN. Now take a look at this blurry workspace pic. I wish everyone the best of luck.

Solo developer and have basically no experience with audio. Gonna do what I can but I don't expect much in terms of Audio parts of my game.

First time taking part in a ludum dare, solo dev looking forward to it :D

My First Ludum dare

I'll be using Unity, Photoshop and Blender [if I decide to go 3D] I will be streaming over at : https://www.twitch.tv/beepboopindie

This will be my third participation in compo. Hopefully, this LD I will ran out of time at the point where I will have at least some gameplay to show off. :smile:

I will be using Unity 3D, Blender, GIMP/XnView and, if things will go exceptionally well, even Audacity, Bosca Ceoil and/or BFXR to make some SFX/music.

(at the ludum dare)

I'm alone, if someone is like me, without Partner and want do this LD with me, you can contact me ;)

Good luck everyone.

C# / Unity / Visual studio / FL STUDIO / Pixel Edit / Blender

I want some xD I have trouble finding it.

Im excited for my first ludum dare

I will be using GameMaker Studio

This is my 4th LD and i came with a new crew member.

@IgorFolz @ArthurIung @Branquelo

My first Ludum Dare :smile: I'm very excited! I hope we make a cool game of which we are proud of but specially I hope we have a great time while making it :blush:

Ready to kick some pixels asses!

Follow https://twitter.com/wischutz

my 4th or 5th Ludum Lets do this, my guy @OfficialDingbat

I'll be giving godot a try in the jam.
- godot - blender & gimp Not sure what I'll be using for audio yet.

I'm in!

This will be my first ever jam! I'll be doing the 72 hour jam to give myself more time to get SOMETHING done. I'm only just starting to feel like an actual novice hobbyist game developer, not just someone who says they're thinking about making games. That being said, I'm still an absolute beginner and at best can say that I kind of know how to use Unity, ish.

I'll obviously be using Unity for my engine, and I'll kludge together my graphics and sound from whatever I can make work over the weekend. Graphics will probably be Unity basic shapes and maybe some Asset Forge stuff if I'm feeling fancy, and I guess I'll try this Reaper thing people keep talking about for sound, if I get that far.

Hello everyone!

I'm Dylan Mahalingam, and I'm teaming up with my friends Mark "kramff" Foster and Andrew "strouticus" Strout to make a game! This is our first Ludum Dare, and we're excited to give it a try.

We'll be using HTML5 to make our game. We're going to figure out the art and music on the fly.

Good luck to everyone, and have fun!

Not sure what we'll use yet, maybe LibGDX (and Netbeans) if it's a 2D game, maybe Unity if it's 3D. Adobe Creative Suite 5.5/4 for art/audio. Blender for any 3D/animation. Version control will be Git with TortoiseGit. Looking forward to this one.

Hey, my first Ludum Dare and going for Compo. Let's have some fun!

Third time, I think :D

Switching away from Unity3D, going to instead be working with LibGDX. If you haven't used it, I would highly recommend that you do! Will use Krita for art stuffs, and will most likely not do any audio. If I do though, I will use LMMS.

You can follow progress on my Twitter

Let's go!

This where I'm doing the LudumDare! Can't wait! battlestations.png

i'm gonna use gamemaker because i'm basic af and may stream it get hype

1 and a half hours to go. Hype!

If you feel like following my progress for whatever reason I'll be posting on Twitter every few hours throughout the jam with screenshots and some juicy progress pics.

I'll also be hosting my code on Github so you can see the actual source code if you so feel like it.

For now you can have a nice pic of my setup:

My goal is to just finish something as I've a lot of drinking, and hangovering to attend to this weekend.

I can't say I'm super excited yet, but I'm in again for this Ludum Dare. I'm sure the excitement will come as I get into it.

My engine of choice right now is Urho3D and I'd like to use it's 3D capabilities this time around. I'm also planning to use AngelScript this time instead of Lua, so we'll see how that goes.

Art should use a combination of Krita and Blender. And music, if I get to it, will be whatever available tools I can get my hands on (Abundant Music is pretty cool if you haven't seen it already).

I look forward to seeing the theme and all the other excellent games that people make. Good luck everyone!

It's been a couple of years but it looks like I'll be able to join this LD!

This time I want to use the Godot Engine (I've tried it out, but not really made anything with it yet).

Some tools I might use: * Graphics / maps: Tile Studio / Tiled / PyxelEdit / Krita / PhotoImpact / GIMP * Sound / music: Nero Wave Editor / NoteWorthy Composer / Audacity
