well since my programmer friend is unavailable i guess we know what were doing today ferb

btw im not schizofrenic

first time participating in the jam lets see how i do!!!

excited and nervous at the same time

Good morning, afternoon and evening!

It's our second time at Ludum Dare, and we think there might still be room on our team. Would anyone like to join us?

I'm a programmer, and a bit of a generalist. @666Savior does 3D modelling, and anything they get their hands on. Our third team member is a musician and SFX artist. We can do 2D or 3D, haven't decided yet.

Engine: Godot
Language: GDScript
3D modelling: Blender
Graphics and doodles: GIMP
CI/CD: GitHub Actions (yes, we will have automated builds!)

At LD46, @666Savior and I made Feed the Tree.

We enjoy being original. Good atmosphere, neat visuals, and satisfying gameplay are all very much our thing. There's always room for cute, too. We just don't do horrors ;)

Are you a graphical artist? A coder, writer, designer, modeller, anybody? Want to join our team? Let me know in the comments here, or on Discord: outfrost#5543.

Good luck everyone! :sparkles:

(reposted from earlier so folks looking for a team can see this among the inundation of "I'm in" posts)

Using:

Piskel

Gamemaker Studio 2 (not drag and drop)

Got no sound programs because i don't know how to sound and i'd rather get some experience before I drive myself insane with them in a Ludum Dare. Also hopefully not making anything too complex this time since no one understood how to play my last game.

First time trying this and I honestly don't expect to make a full submittable game (I have a busy weekend ahead of me and am also just inexperienced lol) but I'm here to learn :) can't wait to see what everyone makes and hopefully I can make at least something. Haven't decided between trying to raw dog it with SDL/C++ or to learn Unity on the fly for the jam (i know it's dumb but ¯_(ツ)_/¯ who knows)

Let's all do our best! ☺

RIP childhood heroes :cry:

First jam, I've been working on an engine and this is a good excuse to make more than some test scenes. ;) Tools I'll be using: - Blender - LMMS, Audacity - Gimp, Krita

This post made by open source gang

Leaning towards something that wouldn't be considered a true "game" and a bit more of a tool. Best of luck to everyone.

I'll be using:
* C++
* Unreal Engine
* Maya
* Photoshop

For anyone using Unreal Engine, I've made cheat sheets here:
C++ Cheat Sheet
Blueprint Cheat Sheet

Best of luck to everyone! Excited to see what everyone makes.

Starting early this time, counting down until the theme is revealed, which will be at exactly midnight in CEST land.

Long time developer just getting in to game development so this is my first game jam. I'll be using Unity but that's about all I know at this point. :fingers_crossed:

For some reason, the theme "Strength in numbers" reminds me of 2020's hit game, "Fall Guys" The hoard of jelly beans racing through a level guarantees that a few will survive, and advance to the next round.

I'm more exited and readier than before. I'm also eager to play other's games. My plan this time is to have a scope extremely small, if it works and have time I'll add something else. And then polish it with the rest of the time.

What I'll be using:

• Engine: RPG Maker (it's not going to be an RPG, I use it for its top down movement and because I can program in javascript with it).
• Code editor: Atom.
• Art & Animation: Pixelorama
• Maybe art too: Pencil/scaner/Krita (if I have time)
• Music: Abundant Music
• Sound Fx: sfxr

I'm aiming for the Compo, but since I don't have time constraints this time, is I don't finish it I'll take one more day ans send it to the Jam.

Now I'll just make my drawing of the day for the #drawtober while waiting for the time to arrive.

This time I'm entering the Jam with two of my friends. I'm excited to see what we end up with!

Tools

• Engine: Unity3D
• Modelling: Blender
• 2D art: Affinity Photo
• Sound: Cake walk or Bosca ceoil / Audacity
• Code: VS Code

Good luck everyone!

Geez, it's here again, eh?

Meme Regime is back on the case, working with our same three members. Vanea is on programming, and she's a wizard Hexed is on music, and she's great at it And I'm on art duties. For some reason I might not actually be terrible?

Also, we have a new fella working with Vanea. They go by the name of "Gears4Speed", and we're super stoked to have them this time around. The bottleneck in the past has been closer to coding so having two programmers will make everything so much smoother.

We'll be using Unity, FLStudio, Mixx, Mixcraft 8, Paint.NET and Aseprite, and some assistance programs like WinSCP for some FTP shenanigans (namely for me and Hexed to deposit finished files directly into the game's assets folders) and Github for the wizards to sync their own arcane scrawlings.

Hopefully we make it into the top quarter of the event this time around!

In prep for the jam, I prepped a project scaffold based on my old projects. It ended up being a bunch game mechanics I think can be mushed together, but we'll have to see what I can do during the jam.

I made a video as part of a series demoing and reviewing my intent for the jam.

I look forward to seeing you all out there...or whatever the words should be. :v:

https://youtu.be/Qj3lL3lexaE

I think we're finally ready for some game jam action, we spent a good chunk of the morning getting our work environment cleaned up so we can focus. This time I think we're going to try to make all of our own sound effects. Maybe we'll get some time lapse of our development, too.

Good luck everyone, I look forward to playing what you make!

This is will be interesting

Using Engine : Unity Art : sketchbook, Maya Sound : open source

Hi all! I am in this time for Ludum Dare!

Current plan is to stick to HTML5/JavaScript, but we'll see what way the theme leads me :)

any tips?

Since LD39 - lets see what LD47 brings on :)

Also a question: is it ok to just stream the desktop and music ? I just thought about stream myself but i dont have a camera here on my PC lol. But i dont know if this is ok too.

Yo, it's multi medal winning ludum dare veteran extraordinaire Alex Rose here, and it's time to predict the theme. Get in here! Let's talk themes! http://twitch.tv/alexrosegames

Would be great if we could use these last minutes to chat and team up, though :stuckouttonguewinkingeye:

It's been a while since I've participated in the ludum dare compo, so I'm going to give it a good crack this year. My art is probably going to turn out horribly, but part of the fun is winging it with graphics / sound!

Tools: Engine: Unity 3D Modelling suite: Blender Image Editor: GIMP Audio: Mixcraft

Good luck everyone, and I'm looking forwards to seeing all the cool games everyone has made.

Going to be using Godot or GMS2 for an engine MS Paint and Krita for art

and going to get help with music and sounds (I hope).

Working alone and using Unity as engine, Asesprite/Blender/GIMP for sprites and models (2D/3D depending on the theme) and Audacity/Bosca Ceoil for audio.

Have been learning Unity for about 3 months now. I am super excited to finally finish my first game. Will be using Unity3D along with Blender and Audacity.

I'm in 100%, going for the compo for the second time!! Best of luck everyone!! :D

Im a low poly 3D modeler and this will hopefully be the first jam i complete! (I HOPE WE GET SOMETHING COOL)

Joining the jam! I haven't done an LD for over 10 years so this will be a fun experience. Our team is:

• @inanimatecarbonrod - Code
• @journeyroyale - Art and Code
• @skuncc - Art
• @kylieco - Code

We will be using Godot and aseprite. We will also be streaming on my twitch. Lets GOOOOOOOO!

I'm in 100%!! I'm going for the compo for the second time! Best of luck everyone! :D

if anyone needs some good old juicy music for their game, you know who to respond to. Me.

Come say hi! https://www.twitch.tv/oddlyspecificgames

Hello folks, its my first time in ludum dare.

Prepare for some programmer art here (like my avatar hehe).

I'm aiming for a Compo and will use some great open source tools. - Godot as engine - Aseprite and Paint.net for the arts - new excellent LEd for level editing - VS Codium for codes - some last minute choice of tracker for musics

Wishing all good luck!

First jam here, only been learning game programming for a few weeks. All the posts, tips, and software people use have been really useful. More appreciated. Going to try and get something short and sweet out, but not keeping my expectations high. I'm expecting to learn a lot though.

Since others have done it and it's been helpful to me, here's what I'm going to use:

Engine: Godot + Godot-Rust + cargo watch for fast(ish) development time Art: Aseprite Audio: Tools others have pointed out

My buddy Aidan and I are in! Im a frontend developer who wanted to try out some game jamming!!

My second time in Ludum dare, the previous one was last October. I didn't really learn any new gamemaking skills so here goes nothing! I hope I can make something playable.

Tools:

• Typescript,
• Svelte (frontend, menus),
• Pixi.js or Three.js (renderer),
• ECSY (cool ECS framework from Mozilla),
• Aseprite, Illustrator, paint.net for programmer art,
• sound - didn't figure out yet xD

I've got some boilerplate / code package here ready to go and anyone can give it a swing if they're using Unity 2019.4 (has a Text Mesh Pro dependency) https://github.com/MrThee/PhilSrc I also now have aesprite this time, so i might make a 2d-ish game for once instead of spending hours modeling, animation, + rigging things.

Excited to be back in it! Good luck everyone!

Buzzing. Let's get it.

Literally almost forgot I should post this :sleeping:

I'm going for compo and I will use: Unreal Engine 4,
Visual studio,
Audacity - sound effects,
Affinity Photo - 2D stuff,
Blender 2.8 - 3D 'art',
phone mic - for recording 'music' and sound effects.

First time being here, and I am so excited to participate in the game jam! I will be working alone, and I am going for the "Jam"!

My tools: - Unity - Visual Studio Code - Aseprite - GIMP - sfxr - Freesound - YouTube Audio Library

Good luck, everyone! Have fun!

Excited to participate in my first jam with some friends! <3

I will only be doing the Jam with a friend.

Bosca Ceoil for Music https://boscaceoil.net/

Yaaay let's go!

hello, I'm a really experienced unity 2d programmer and a pixel artist and for this jam I want to team up with another artist, not to do everything by myself again. Looking to team up with an experienced pixel artist who is ready to sacrifice the whole weekend for ld :smile: check my ld page for stuff I've made on previous jams here's also my twitter for my recent works https://twitter.com/tulipekoni. DM me on discord Mysli#4188, lets team up! my timezone UTC+3

Right I'm going to have a go at this I've never done this before or ever created a game we'll see how I get on

This will be my third Ludum Dare. Gonna try to post progress much more often this time. I'll be using Game Maker Studio 2 for just about everything

Let's get this show on the road.

almost forgot about this :no_mouth:

the tools i will be using: - Engine: Game maker - Art: Clip studio Paint or Aseprite - Music: Bosca Ceoil - Sound effects: Sfxr Good luck to everyone!

My tools:

• GCC
• SDL and extensions
• Aseprite

first time entering the jam been wanting to do one for ages so nervous yet so excited !!!

I'm in!

This is my 7th LD!

I'm a little bummed out that I ended up with a pretty harsh work schedule, alongside have to help family move - but I suppose it balances out the crazy amount of free time I had for LD46.

I'm still going to try to get submitted, I'll just have to keep an eye on that pesky scope...

I'll be using:

-Unity

-Photoshop

-Piskel

-Audacity

-GarageBand

And all on a brand new PC!

It's an exciting jam! Can't wait to play everyone's entries! Best of luck!

This is my first time paticipating in ludum dare! Im hyped!

excited to brush off some Construct 3 skills!

This is my 3rd time joining a game jam and this is going to be the first time joining Ludum Dare. Good luck everyone! (using unity engine)

Hello All, I've "joined" twice before, but never managed to submit anything. Hopefully, I can submit a mostly finished game!! Sadly I've been on and off of GameDev for the last 10 years!!! With ZERO finished projects!! I LIVE in development hell!!! Wish me luck, in finishing my first project, EVER...

Tools-

Unity3D Visual Studio 2019 GIMP GraphicsGale Blender3D Audacity

Wacom Intuos

Tool

• Game engine: Pico-8

My last Ludum Dare was the one about Sacrifice. I think it was Late 2018? I've been wanting to do more, but was always too busy. But this coincides with a weekend that's gonna be pretty relaxing, so I'm excited to do this!

First ever game jam attempt. I want to step into game development and this seems like a good way to start. I don't have much experience, apart from some tutorials, but you gotta start somewhere. I'll be using Unity and Krita and hope to create a half-decent 2D game.

First time Ludum Daring with a friend!

Using

• UE4 or Unity, will decide on the fly
• 3dsmax for 3d stuff
• Photoshop for 2d stuff
• audition/audacity/our mouths/sxfr for sounds
• ether for inspiration

Wish us luck! Take care everyoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

first dare ever

tools: Ren.py sfxr gimp

Tools -Unity2d, GIMP, BFXR, VisualStudio2019

good luck! ill be using: unity engine, also blender if needed

I am ready for my first game jam I've been waiting for months now and it's finally here! 1 hour is left and I can't wait!!!

Good luck everyone 😉

First time trying a game jam. Hopefully get something finished in time. It'll also means I might finally finished building something in Unity and motivate me to finish some half completed projects. Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

This is my second time participating after a while, and I'm exited to take part in the event! I will be using Unity3d this time

ill be using unity engine and blender if needed

My son has wanted me to finish at least one of the many game projects I've started. I want LD47 to be the beginning of finishing something I start. I know I'm in good company.

I'll be using: Unity, Blender, and Photoshop

Third time doing LD! Can't wait.

Tip for Unity users: exporting your game to the web normally means more people will play it! But make sure you test exporting for WebGL, last time I nearly missed submitting the game on time as I had a few problems exporting :)

Entering Ludum Dare for the first time, excited to begin!

Main Tools: - Unity - Blender - Photoshop - Audacity - GarageBand

My first ever LD with a couple of good classmates of mine. How exciting! I wish everyone goodluck :) and don't overwork yourselfs xD

My tools: - Godot - Aseprite

I'm very rusty but i will do my best

Ah... I can feel it. The wind is howling... the leaves are changing shade... The store shelves overflow with orange and burgundy, and the air smells of cinnamon and pumpkin... Yes! It's October! And that's not all- it's time for another LudumDare. I wasn't sure I would be able to participate this time around, but things worked out. An October miracle? Maybe! 🎃

Oh- here's a little introduction: Howdy! I'm HacksawUnit, from the 'USA'. I have been doing LudumDare for a while now. I love creating and thinking about all sorts of games. I will be entering the ‘Compo’ this year, as usual. :-)

Best of luck everyone! Hope you have a great experience.

Favorite tools list:

🍲 Construct2: HTML5 game creation software!

🍲 Aseprite: Pixel art program!

🍲 GIMP: Open source image editor!

🍲 LSDJ and bgb: Authentic Gameboy synthesizer and emulator!

🍲 Audacity: Open source sound editor!

🍲 itch.io: Storefront/games host!

A friend and I will be participating in Ludum Dare for the first time today! So far our list of tools include:

• Godot engine, while targeting GLES2 for exporting into HTML5.
• git for source control.
• Bfxr for sound effects.
• PxTone or Finale for music.
• Audacity for other audio editing.
• GIMP and/or Microsoft Paint for visual assets.
• Discord for team communication.

I am also looking forward to all of the creative ideas that will come out of this event!

Can't wait! Jam round two!

45mins left guys! Lets have fun and good luck to everyone :-)

I've been learning a lot of new stuff lately and I guess now I can cook a fresh game!

I'll be using Unity as the engine. Few things that I would love to try in the game are 1. Adaptive music, both horizontal and vertical. 2. Emotion

I'd like to wish everyone good luck. I hope we'll all have fun this weekend and be able to bring something to the table.

I haven't finished a jam properly in quite a while. In fact, even the games I've submitted here have been half-assed 1-day sketches cause I either didn't actually have time or just got massively distracted.

I'm actually making a game this weekend though. This time I gotta do it.

Have fun everyone!

Time for another Ludum Dare! Hoping I can come up with a good game idea.

The tools I will be using:

• Engine: Kha framework with custom engine.
• Art: Krita.
• Sound: Bfxr.

Good luck and have fun everyone!

I hope this time I will be able to finish on time

Good luck to everyone!

It's been awhile since I complete a game jam and I really wanted to do this one, but I didn't want to go it alone (again). Luckily a friend I know is learning Unity so we're teaming up for Ludum Dare 47!

Tools we'll be using:

Unity Aesprite Fruity Loops and Audacity Blender 3D

Have fun everyone and good luck!

Most likely solo, making some kind of janky handmade 3d in Gamemaker is my primary objective. Otherwise I'm using Photoshop, ASEprite, LMMS, Maya? BFXR, Blender? We shall see. I hope to make something vaguely scary in tune with the season, so here's hoping for a weirdo theme in the next 30 minutes.

This is a curated list that contains helpful links and resources for game jams and game development:

https://github.com/wujood/awesome-gamejam

Hello from TEAM SCRAMBIE!!!

We're Team ScrambIe, and we're in for LD 47!!!

I asked our team mates for some choice quotes about their HYPE for LD47!

fawnblue: "hey why does it take 6 eggs to make one hardboiled egg" LunacyEcho: "The other five eggs get rubbed together tommake fire" johnfn: "this is gon be dumb" Miyolophone: "wait wtf can i still give a quote"

I have no idea what they're talking about. Anyway, here's a team pic.

Second time on the Jam, now with Haxeflixel!

Have fun ya'all

Not my first jam but ive been out of the programming loop for a couple of years so im hoping to get back into it with this one. Doing a solo to see how far i can get. Super excited especially since a theme i sent in has made it to the top 16.

I hope you will all do well and have a fun time!!

This will be my, holy banana phone, 18th time participating in Ludum Dare Compo.

Usually use C#, Visual Studio, MonoGame, Asesprite, Paint.NET, Gimp, Inkscape, Sfxr, Audacity, Bosca Ceoil, and other things. There's always a chance I just throw all that out and try something different, but not likely. I may try to produce something in LMMS this time. Audio is always on my list for things I shouldn't put off until the end... but I always seem to do so :(.

Starter code (which I will push soon) is on GitHub here: https://github.com/srakowski/LD47

I'll be likely pulling infrastructure/engine code from previous LDJAM entries on the same account, but gameplay will be new.

Good luck everyone!

This is my first time in this, I have only been studying for a couple of weeks and they encouraged me to participate, good luck to all.

Lets try to complete the game in time guys...ALL THE BEST !!!

Only 30 minutes to wait...

The tools that I will be using:

•Unity
•Blender
•Photoshop
•Bosca ceoil

When the jam starts: 2319! We have a 2319!
