Second game jam, first Ludum Dare.

I participated in the 4th Alakajam! last month and got 3rd place in Theme, 9th in Gameplay, and 16th Overall. Not bad for a first try!

Gave me enough confidence to try out a Ludum Dare. I know I will have much higher level of competition, but I will also have more time for the jam (only had 5 hours free for Alakajam!). Hope I can do something good.

I will participate in the Compo using Unity (Visual Studio), Piskel, Bosca Ceoil, and Bfxr.

Oh, and here are my theme suggestions!

Brainstormed with my best friend @LadyMistLeaf last night, we came up with a handfull of ideas that would fit our Ludum Dare first-timer situation. We each chose one for our individual Compo.

This morning, after taking a couple of hours at the hospital with my 3-year-old (he's fine now), I was able to start on the game. However, getting a logical gameplay that fit the theme with the tower defense-ish game I chose to make was tricky/tacky.

So I decided to start over with a puzzle/strategy game instead. I now have an MVP! Tomorrow I'll be able to focus on polish (Menus, Sprites, Sounds, etc.)

Today I spent the morning making menu screens and including music. This afternoon I set up sound effects and tweaked the gameplay. I tried to make sprites but wouldn't have had enough time considering that I have absolutely no skills for that. So, I settled for a minimalist board game look; Good Enough.

LD43 was my first LD and will hopefully not be my last. I've participated in a few jams on itch.io since then and will continue to do so.

Will most likely do compo, using my usual tools; Unity, Bosca Ceoil, Bfxr and Piskel.

Hyped for LD44! In the mean time, I've updated my game from Brackeys Game Jam #2 a bit. Still in the prototype phase but progress none the less. Go check it out!

Submitted my game for 8 Bits to Infinity ~ Two Button Jam.

I won't get rated because I will be a judge for this jam. Please give me your feedback nonetheless.

I had to say no to this theme as it's already what I made for LD43. https://lilou-cormic.itch.io/cant-save-them-all

My game is for you!

With LD45 approaching, I started revamping my LD43 entry to make it more mobile friendly and using graphics from Kenney.nl

In the mean time, you can play the original here: https://lilou-cormic.itch.io/cant-save-them-all

LD45 is starting soon. Where are the wallpapers!?

This will be my 3rd Ludum Dare. For LD43, I went solo and did Compo. For LD44, I teamed up with composer @mrjoshuamclean for the Jam. For LD45, we will be 3. Artist @hamsterspit will joining us for the Jam.

Feedback appreciated!

In the "Edit game" view of you game page on Itch, there is a space specifically to enter your LD game URL. You should also add the tag ludum-dare-45.

This will be my fourth LD. This time though I will be teaming up with @ladymistleaf. She will be doing most of the designing and art. I will stick to programming. @mrjoshuamclean will be making music for the game like he did for my last 2 entries.

You can check out my previous work here: https://lilou-cormic.itch.io/

In December 2018, I joined my first Ludum Dare - LD43 - with a game called Can't save them all. About a year later, I started reworking the game to eventually make a casual mobile game. It's not there yet and might never be because I'm working on bigger projects now. But yesterday I decided to released what I had in the wild. I present you Pirasea.

Play it here: https://lilou-cormic.itch.io/pirasea

If any Unity devs are interested, all my game jam games - LD or otherwise - are available on GitHub. Remember it's jam code though, so not commented and a bit messy. But might help you figure some stuff out.
