Can't wait to figure out the theme! It'll be my first Ludum Dare. I'll be using UPBGE!

It has a bad rep for no reason, really, because while Logic Bricks are limited Python can take it so much farther. I'll be using Logic Bricks to help speed up the dev process though.

Other things: Blender (with UPBGE), Inkscape, Audacity/Ardour/LMMS, Krita probably, GIMP. And who knows what else I have hidden on my computer in the depths of Program Files that will come in handy!

First Ludum Dare, and we made our game in UPBGE. It's called DollarBot, and I had fun forgetting to test a lot of features. Anyway, your main weapon is cash, and running out of cash makes you die. Get the game here, Itch.io link:

Above is a nice little village that's super boring

I couldn't do anything about lag, but noticed that the first mission was very difficult and prevented people from playing the second. I have removed a couple enemies and posted a Post-LD version. Nothing added.

It seems like for a lot of people, none of my text boxes were showing up! This is both funny and sad because that means no one knew what to do. :( Oh well! I think the patched one on the game page works now. This jam was super fun, I hope you all had as good of a time as I did.

Can't wait for Ludum Dare 45! Let's hope for a better theme this time. :P

Does anyone ever enable "Allow Anonymous Comments?" Is it a good idea to or not?

Remember kids, even if the theme is good, it's tradition to complain. Remember to honor the tradition of 44 LDs and complain about the theme with all your power

And as usual we all hate it

We had a lot of fun this Ludum Dare, but we were super-short on time. 3rd time's the charm? It's probably pretty buggy and/or broken, so please give feedback. Thanks!

Rather than reduce the number of theme suggestions, how about give veterans an extra suggestion for every time they participated?

The last two LDs we had to cut a lot of features because we over-scoped the game and didn't playtest enough. This time around, we set a more reasonable scope and was able to finish a couple minutes ahead of time! Plus with more playtesting and the use of Github, we were able to stay on track and get our game done!

Oh, and by the way, here's our game, try it out! (once you've got some rest, of course):

We finished our game well before time, and I went to bed, only to find this morning that our links had been down! The itch.io page was unpublished and just a draft....and yet we got 5 ratings somehow?! Was this based on the images, or are people just rating without playing? :thinking: Anyways, I fixed the links, so please try it out!

For some reason I'm not getting any mentions or numbers showing up in the little box, I have to open the full notifications feed...

Started this Ludum Dare a day and a half late, so was pretty hard-pressed for time. I bet if we started early, we could've added a lot more polish to this game. Either way, IMO we did pretty good :)

As the legendary sheep farmer you must survive the SheepWorm trial! How many waves can you last?

I just noticed you can heart your own comments. Is there any point to doing so?

Anyways, the games this LD are awesome.

Come play our wacky time-stopping game. (Sheep included) Also recommend me some of your games in the comments, I'll check them out :smile:
