Hi there, participant.

After a couple of solo jams, I'm very excited to share with you that I've finally grouped up with friends. The collaboration was so far very relaxing and enjoyable.

This event is super fun, yet very challenging, and it requires a lot of energy and effort.

My top advice is that to let your brain gears rest and function more productively by having a regular sleep schedule.

I love participating in the event, and I hope you will like our game. :smile:

I want to play your game! :zap: :video_game:

I would like to open a discussion

Here are few points why Ludum Dare should be every 4 months, like it used to.

1. People are used to it
2. The event is non-profit
3. It helps people engineer relationships and ideas
4. There are no prizes for the event
5. 4 months don't just FLY BY
6. People love it. I do, you do, and everybody does.
7. Game industry is very competitive
8. Now everybody is just me, me, me, check me out, check me out
9. You don't have to participate in all of them

Why change the standard?

Why do people wait 4 months for the shittiest themes ever?

This forum exists at least 3 years and it still doesn't have basic functionalities like delete post, and the posts get buggy. Man I'm going to host an event people are going to love to be at. 🧙‍♂️ Really not going to allocate 78 hours for the Start with nothing bullshit
