Feelin' overly positive this year. This year my criterium is: "will I die when this theme would win?". Still... A lot of red when you keep that in mind :laughing: 🪦

Themes like these demand a "super-like" feature!

Because of the whole "bot-situation" you probably haven't had much incentive to post over here. Which is a shame, because more seasoned LDers love to play your games too! So, if you are new, please comment on this post. Then I will put you on my "to play list" :-)

Also, here are some tips :-)

• You are the most important this weekend, so take care of yourself (drink/eat enough, sleep enough, use a good chair, etc)
• Be aware of 'feature creep', a good way to do that is to plan something that should take half of the weekend to create. After that is done, and there is more time, you could add some extra features.
• Make sure the game is easy for you to play: you know the mechanics very well as you are the designer. For other players it should be harder to play, as they did not spend an entire weekend to design it :-)

Rockin' an 8GB with a 4th gen i5 CPU and an Intel HD graphics 4000 system loaded with all the latest and greatest developmentsoftware!

• WAMPP
• Paint.net
• Notepad++
• Audacity
• Maybe RenPi

Yes, this thing is ancient, but I like it and it won't go away anytime soon :-) Have fun everyone!

Our snacks for the following three days! Euhmm... this is an exception, we swear! Normally we eat one pack of cookies, one chocolate bar and one bags of chips (and no soda) per week. But this is Ludum Dare! So we treated ourselves this time :grin:

I took the base code from my previous entry and am modifying it heavily to fit the new game. @Lizz and I have an awesome story-like game where you play as an intern in a delivery room at a hospital. First it is nice and calming, and then it will get chaotic veeery fast. Here is a screenshot of the current.. euh.. "state" of the game right now ^^"

Delicious, but in the end, it is still spaghetti

Imagine minding your own business in the waitingroom of the hospital, and this guy approaching you.

"Pss... Psss.... Hey... Wanna have a baby? I have one right here! It can be yours"

Before you can react, he shoves it in your hand and runs away yelling: "His.. Euh, her name is Ella... No no.. I mean Stephanie. I lost the book ages ago! See ya!" *hysterical laugther*

This guy just had a long shift and was left over with some babies. He is burned out. Try not to be that guy in our game: BURNOUT

It has come to my attention that the ratio "ratings/feedback" is a bit diffrent this Ludum Dare. Normally Almost 80% of the ratings we got would be paired with a comment containing some feedback. This year it's less dan 50%. Is this something more people experience? Or not? And could we consider this as something positive? Or negative?

Curious what you all think :-)

Any new LDers here? Please comment below! Then I'll put your name on my 'to play list', I'm curious what you all end up creating :-)

Edit: I just refreshed the page and now it's burried. I have to find it again to say yes :laughing:
