For those that missed it...

The feed is moving quickly at this late stage so it's easy to miss - but if you're interested in learning how we progressed through the making of For Ducks' Sake, there's now a 2500 word post mortem up on my personal blog at: https://garystanton.co.uk/ludum-dare-46-in-the-bag/

Remember, there's still a few hours left to check out the game and give us a rating. We're broke 300 yesterday and couldn't be more happy about it! Thanks to everyone who's played and rated so far. We really appreciate the feedback and general good vibes.

Question

This is my first jam so I'm still getting used to the rules. Why do some people in the comments say they accidentally rated on the original version? Why would you rate the post LD version?

JUST AWESOME!!!

Thank you to all the community for being nice for you’re my hero! The time you put into Making the game and submitting was so fun and enjoyable, not to mention Ups and down, took much of the strain off me this year. I learned that, when I have someone to help me, the Whole jam is not only manageable but fun. If I hadn’t Joined a team, I might have ended up canceling it altogether and missing the chance to enjoy with everyone.

I loved the whole experience it was just awesome!!!

A Wayward Time Lapse

HAPPY RESULTS DAY, EVERYONE! :tada:

As the curtain closes on yet another Ludum Dare, the Keyboard Cowboys have been reflecting on our experience. This particular jam was a special one for us, because it is likely to be our last jam as a team for quite some time. :frowning2:

A lot of us will be busying ourselves with life over the next few years, and it's currently unknown when we'll all be free to get up to our usual shenanigans again.

To commemorate the end of an era, we've put together another time lapse documenting our descent into game jam madness many weekends ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYeV33Y181U

If you're curious to see the fruits of the labor depicted above, you can play our game Wayward here! We are super duper proud of what we managed to make this time around, and we're so happy to see people connect with it in so many heartwarming ways.

This Ludum Dare has been a fantastic experience, and we played some absolutely stellar games this time around! Regardless of the results, y'all should be super proud of what you've been able to accomplish. :slight_smile:

We'll see you all on the other side.

'Til next time! :pointright: :cowboy: :pointright:

Thank you!

Hey, guys! This Ludum Dare wasn't easy for us, but we did it. Thanks to everyone who played and rated our game! We really appreciate it, as always. 9 hours before grading, good luck to everyone!

I have some category with less than 20 votes. Just to be sure, would you please try the game? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/holy-fire-knight Thanks!

The Final Few Hours

Hey everyone! This has been our first ever game jam and we have really enjoyed playing everyone's games. Before we run out of time we would love the get some more feedback on our game about a Genie trying to find a relic. We have made a port for Mac and Linux but we don't run those operating systems so if anyone could try it and let us know that would be awesome.

Our game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/the-genie-of-light

ScreenShot_20200512070440.png

due to some more complications I managed to post the game now the game was played in less than 48 hours outside Lundum Dare (05/01)

I hope this never happens again...

even if the game is published now, play the game and comment what you think!

for me, playing the game and commenting is much more valuable than jam! :hearts: :smile:

THANK YOU! BYE!

So Guys We Did It...

So guys, we did it we reached a quarter of 400 reviews, which is 100!!! Right, so... this happened: Screenshot (235).png

Third LD Compo, first time I'm interested in getting a rating. Got a minute?

This is my third Ludum Dare, and first where I'm satisfied enough with game that I'm even remotely interested in getting a rating :smile: I'm 3-4 ratings short of the 20, and time is running out - if anyone feel like they'd have a few minutes to spare I'd sincerely appreciate any help getting over 20. I've been playing and rating games, but missed that only feedback matters for smart rating now, and managed to shoot myself in the foot here. I'm actually kinda proud of this one - minus the bugs. :wink:

* If you're here to rate games, why not try out my compo entry, "Defend the Loot!" The objective of the game is to defend the loot chest as waves of enemies attack you. Before each wave you get a minute to build up your base. There are 10 unique levels, getting to the end is not easy! *

Keep The Vibe Alive Only Needs ~2 More Ratings!

My game, Keep The Vibe Alive, is just a small handful of ratings away from the threshold that it needs. The game is built for SteamVR so it’s a little bit difficult to find an audience for it. If anyone is capable of giving it a go and rating it, I’d really appreciate it! 4.gif 5.gif Link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/keep-the-vibe-alive-vr

We really enjoyed participating in this Ludum Dare! 😁 I definataly needed a win in these strange times and finishing a project like this was very rewarding. I very much enjoyed playing all the games I did, there was lots of fun and interesting ideas.

Hopefully we will be back for another Jam 😃🍆

Our entry if you feel like it! ❤

Thank y'all, and see you next time!

:purpleheart: Thanks for playing our game, from the whole CoG team. :purpleheart:

It was our first LD jam, and we had a blast. We managed to get an incredible amount of feedback, and plan on polishing the game and adding content in the next couple months - I even already started to work on the art again. If you're interested in following our adventure, you can keep the itch.io page handy : https://jmad.itch.io/consequences-of-gardening - and if you haven't played yet, now's the time, we would love to reach 80 ratings, and we're only missing a couple.

Congratulations to every single participant, there were some very impressive entries, and it was a pleasure to try as many games as possible.

Remember : don't follow strangers back to their place, you never know if they reaaaally like plants.

Cheers, see you next time!

Some Of My Favourite Games So Far

With Ludum Dare coming to an end I thought I'd share some of my favourite games so far. If you haven't already, check them out. They're all fantastic entries and deserve your support!

Save Your Wife!

By: @majagames @shubhamrathi @sparsha-dhar

Description
You and your wife are professional hunters. Your wife shoots a wolf and now is being attacked by a pack of wolves! You, as her husband have to save her!

My Thoughts
It’s a fun game with nice graphics. The throw your wife mechanic is both amusing and fun! Definitely up there for humour!

Mount Ookie

By: @stavu @jakier @brusi

Description
Once in a thousand years, the ancient Mount Ookie wakes from its slumber, and makes its journey to the safety of the world tree. But alas! A deadly swarm of mountain wasps tries to drain the Ookie from its life force. Protect the Ookie!

My Thoughts
A well polished game with amazing pixel art. Some solid controls and a concept that felt fresh. This was overall really fun!

THE SECRET FLAME

By: @drjedd @thomas-lean

Description
Most have given up. Will you go all the way?

My Thoughts
A well polished game with a gorgeous pixel art environment and nice illustrations for each character. The story felt complete and the puzzles were a nice addition. It deserves more attention than it's had, so check it out!

Ubergine

By: @curleyrach @olliemotion @curleysam

Description
You must water the Ubergine until it is fully grown whilst keeping the hipsters that are trying to eat it at bay!

My Thoughts
Such a fun and silly concept that works as such a great game! Controlling two characters at once is challenging to begin with, but that’s all part of the experience and fun. The graphics for this are great but my favourite part has to be the faces on the ubergine!

Mr. Cheesy

By: @savvu

Description
Slide down that Cheese Grater and since the theme of Ludum Dare 46 is "Keep it alive"...try not to end up on that Spaghett! 🍝

My Thoughts
A very well polished game that fit the theme well. The animations for Mr. Cheesy are funny and it's a great concept overall. What's even more impressive is the game now has a post-jam android version. Can't wait to see what comes next!

Play It Here
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/mr-cheesy

Hope

By: @darylsteak

Description
A puzzle game / walking simulator set in the apocalypse.

When the world goes to hell and the zombie apocalypse rages on, there are rumors that there’s a band of survivors deep within Russia, with food, water, and supplies.

Your only hope of getting there is in the form of a train;

and you must keep that train working.

You must keep that train alive.

My Thoughts
I have a soft spot for zombie games, but this one is fantastic. The visuals are consistent and nice and the overall concept is achieved to a very high standard. The puzzles are really fun and well thought out, they hit that perfect level of difficulty where you have to think but aren't stuck forever. It deserves all the ratings it's had.

Learn how to make a game in Godot for the next game jam!

Hey everyone and congrats on making it through LD46! This has been such a cool event even despite everything going on right now. Our team has been playing a lot of games we missed over the last couple days and I'm excited to make another pass at some other games today before voting ends.

I wanted to post this here in case anyone has been curious or interested in using Godot for a game jam (or just in general) and is looking for a place to start. I'm currently creating a tutorial series for making a top-down shooter in Godot and it's beginner friendly, so feel free to check it out if you're interested. Link is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpwc3ughKbZexDyPexHN2MXLliKAovkpl

Feel free to drop a link in the comments to your game here and I'll try and get to them today. Congrats again to everyone for submitting a game, especially if this was your first game jam!

Gino is thrilled for the results

I ( @dark-power ) would like to thanks all of you that played the game and rated it, and also I'd like to shout out my fellow teammates:

  • @ifidamas, a theoretical physicist who helped me with coding, even if he never wrote a single line of C#;
  • @cannocchiale, a researcher in chemistry, whose hands gave life and color to all of our space and particles;
  • @franca, who sells the best gluten free bakery in the whole city of Florence. Even if she has never ever seen a videogame from the a designer point of view, she embraced the challenge and accomplished it at the best;
  • @baldo91 who accepted to forge the sound for our cutie games to be appealing to a greater audience, even if in reality he's a 3D artist;
  • @gillo90, who came to rescue with all the text we had to write but more important, handles my mental health everyday 😂.

Hello there, wonderful people.

Just a friendly yet important reminder that's it's only 5 hours before the end, and there are still an awful lot of submissions in the danger zone, meaning games that are close to but have not yet achieved the 20 ratings required. So please, if you don't have anything to do, be a pal and go rescue their creations to prevent them from the terrible disappointment of not even getting to have a score in the end.

Cheers, and best of luck to y'all for the last hours !

Cacophony v.02

Hey everyone! How's your Post-Ludum Dare been going? We decided since this was our first game project we got somewhat off the ground to continue iterating upon it and add some features many of which were suggested by people from this community!

Cacophony is a roguelike dungeon crawler and you can find it here

Our First Update

Content / Features

Boss Fight #1

Are you ready to challenge the Skeleton King?

skullservantanimation.png

The first boss fight is something I really wanted to get done in the Ludum Dare period of the game but unfortunately did not have enough time to do so.

But now he has been added and he has some challenging mechanics as well as our first dive into making a small “cinematic” for revealing him. This part of the update was a ton of fun to work on.

Scaling Difficulty

Previously, you could delve into the depths of our dungeon with little to no increase in challenge. In fact, the game would seemingly get easier as you would be acquiring gear while the monsters power level remained static.

This has now changed.

We have made it so that as you go deeper into our infinite dungeon the monsters will become more powerful until eventually you succumb to death. This mechanic will be the subject of ongoing iteration and balancing for the rest of Cacophony’s development.

Mini-map

image.png

We have also added a mini-map feature to the game! This is pretty self explanatory. The mini-map will be revealed as you explore it and marks points of interest you have discovered as well as your current location.

In the future we plan to make the map expandable for a more detailed view and we will continue to upgrade the visual design of it.

In this screenshot you can also see we’ve added an indicator for what floor you’re currently on! Let us know how far into the dungeon you can get! The current record is floor 63, though this was before the scaling difficulty.

QoL and General Improvements

Animations and Player Feedback

We’ve now added rotation animations to every sprite in our game. This should help to make the game feel more alive and visually polished. You can also see when a character takes damage they flash red for a brief moment to indicate this is happening.

Animations and feedback are another sections of the game where we will be continuously working to improve the look and feel of Cacophony.

Selling / Removing Items

image-1.png

You can now sell items at shops or destroy items from your inventory. When selling items you will receive 50% of the items purchase price as gold.

Future iteration for this feature will include better visual design, as well as confirmation messages so you don’t accidentally sell anything you planned on keeping.

Our Own Item Sprites

We’ve added our own unique item sprites now as well. Previously the Item sprites were one of the few assets that we did not create ourselves and now we have removed everything that was not made by us with the exception of the gold coin icon.

Bug Fixes

• Lots of path-finding bug fixes included. Enemies can now round corners, and will get stuck less often

• Enemies will no longer attempt to occupy the same tile as another enemy

• Map changing now works better and more smoothly, including transitions from randomly generated maps to hand-drawn maps.

• Fixed Armor/Weapons not applying stats properly in some cases

• Shops now refresh their stock every time a new map is generated

Conclusion

That’s about what we have been working on the past two weeks! It feels like a lot has been added or generally made better for Cacophony during this time and we’re still having a ton of fun working on this project. Up next we will decide what direction to take v.03 and where Cacophony will go in the future!

Thank you for playing Cacophony and for reading this. A lot of these changes were inspired by feedback given to use here on the Ludum Dare site so thank you to everyone who took the time to contribute and play our game.

  • Scale the textures to 256px or even 128px, preserving hard edges (no anti-aliasing).
  • Apply textures in the UV.

Cement, coastal rocks, rust, asphalt

Result: an unique looking FFVII inspired Kaiju

Mix and Match to get awesome results!

The face is a mixture of coastal rocks + the shadowed part of the rock texture + rust. When stretched, it creates a natural "bio-weapon" look. 2e2f1.png

I always wanted to create games

Looking for a last minute game to play?

In my entry "Keep it alive, doc!" you need to keep aliens from a crashed UFO alive in a secret underground facility.

Hint: It has a bug that I didn't fully fix yet, don't click twice on the same tile, otherwise the doc gets stuck!

My game needs 6 more ratings to get a score! Any help is appreciated.

If your game still needs ratings, drop it in the comments here and I'll play and rate it too.

"You really did a good job on making a seemly boring mechanic not boring!"

I spent the last two weeks polishing my game. This is a small timed puzzle game you can finish in 2-3 minutes. Find the correct pump to reanimate the robot by seeing which wire connects to the robot, then activate it. Pump the wrong pump and the robot explodes.

I tried to find a way to make it more interesting so I added more levels, some narration between the levels and improved the overall experience by adding more feedbacks and improving the graphics. Each piece of narration depends on what you did during the level so it reacts a bit on how the player plays.

I hope you'll have some fun if you try it. Thanks to all people who played the game.

LD46   09em05/em2020 14em48/em47.png

Also, this is a list of all the updates I made during the last weeks thanks to all the great feedbacks I got: - More levels - Controls are improved : before you moved the camera with arrow now you just have to move the mouse, it's clearer. - Better feedbacks (Highlight on the pump, emissive material on wires to materialize the energy flow) - Better and clearer instructions - I added some UI elements (Main menu, Pause menu) - I programmed a text system that can be customized to emphasize certain part of text - Graphics improvement (Particles added, I redid some modeling and improved the lighting). - I added some sounds.

Special thanks to Twan Mull who joined me at the beginning of this jam to try and discuss some game mechanics before I went on my own for the rest of the event.

Playing Games Live on Twitch (and chatting) LAST CHANCE

As LD46 reviewing wraps up I'm going to be playing LD46 games live until the review time is up.

So come join, tell me your game, and I'll play it on stream (I will try to be thorough):

https://www.twitch.tv/mrmoxie

Also if you like kinda high concept difficult games that are supposed to express a message (and have horrible horrible art) then you should play/give feedback on my game:

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/keep-hope-alive-4

Tired of all this COVID bs? Guess where it can't be found? UNDER THE SEA!

LDPost4.jpg

How about a stroll around the (atlantic) neighbourhood, past beautiful coral reefs and creepy underwater plants? Weird twist included.

I will play and rate games in return, as to me this is common courtesy <3

Also, because last minute: who still struggles to get 20 votes? :3

Honest Dan's LD 46 Results Stream

Taking it a step further... who's ready?

This game jam was absolutely incredible! I decided to make a game on my own for the very first time and what an adventure it was! It felt so freaking amazing to develop it, you know? That is why I decided to take developing to the next level and make a fully fledged game. Who's ready for it?

New highscore : 2700 !

Last time to play Last Beer ! :D

The Land I Live On - Relaxing 3rd Person Shooter

Hey guys, i want to share my game The Land I Live On (game page) with you all; It's a TPS game with 32-bits inspired graphics (low-poly + pixel-art). You play as an Onion Gardner watering plants and keeping the garden flowers alive (note: that this garden is on the back of a flying turtle because of game logics xD).

My teams always use the LD to experiment techs, visuals, concepts and other stuff that we are eager to know more about it. We would have liked to polish the gameplay more, but there would be less time to test and experiment with the art style.

There's an HTML5 build on our itch.io page (linked on our LD page). If you manage to play our game, leave a comment with a "@" at the end so i can know that you came from this post. I will definitely play your game too! :)

I'm playing and rating as many games as possible before the deadline so post your games here, especially if you're short on votes.

DECAYED - I'd love some last minute voting from you!

You are a boy living in a village that is surrounded by nature. There is one mighy old pink tree whose energy is so strong that it powers up your village. One day, the tree was found with its leaves falling down to the ground. It started to decay. You have to keep it alive but suck the life out of the nature you spent your life in, can you make the sacrifice?

This Ludum dare has been really fun for me, I took a few risks when making my game by adding features/mechanics i had not done before. One of which was an online leaderboard!

I wrote a little tutorial on how i implemented it into Unity, take a look at it here: https://blog.generistgames.com/creating-a-simple-unity-online-leaderboard/ leaderboardemtutorial/emscore.jpg

You can also try out my game here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/symbio-tech
