Ludum Dare 48

I'm in!

I'm super excited to join since my last participation in a jam was like three years ago. This will be my second Ludum Dare (last one was LD41 in 2018) and my fourth jam in general. Some of the themes seem pretty interesting so far, my favorites being Parasite, Choose your poison, You really shouldn't mix those and Never break the chain (all from round 3 somehow lol).

I'll team up with my boyfriend who's recently gotten into gamedev too. Can't wait to see what we come up with in the end. We plan on using Godot, Photoshop and FL Studio.

I just hope we can keep bad decisions at a minimum. Last time I decided to make my first 3d game and needless to say that was stressful as heck.

Best of luck to all of you and have fun!

Day 1 Roundup

The game idea we had is super wacky and I can‘t wait for it to get finished. Overall it went much better than last time I did Ludum Dare. I even got enough sleep last night!

A few hours in I had to scrap everything I was working on because audio latency made me hate my life a bit (gameplay was rythm-based so it needed to be on point with the beat and that didn‘t work out.) But shortly after that I came up with a new idea for the gameplay which would allow us to keep everything else.

Core gameplay stuff is mostly finished by now and even though it doesn‘t look like much it‘s pretty fun (music makes a huge difference!)

Today I‘ll be focusing mostly on graphics. Even though the monster-eggplant-placeholder-thing grew dear to my heart it‘ll have to go. Meanwhile my partner will focus on more music and the actual theme-part.
