I call first 8hLD

So making games in 48 hours is not challenging anymore for you? How about making game in a WORK DAY? Think you could do that? Well, we can see about that!

I call first 8h LD

The rules of it are similar to “normal” LD, but you have to make game and submit it in 8 hours!

So how about it? Will you participate or are you chickening out?

The jam will begin at Saturday 26th May on 08:00 AM CEST and will end on 04:00 PM CEST. You have to make and submit game before it ends.

The jam theme is DRAGONS.

UPDATE:
Voting will start at Monday, 0:00 CEST and will start up until Sunday 23:59 CEST. Only people registered before May 9th can vote (to avoid votefarming).

Next 8hLD or NanoLD as it’ll be known from now on (unless this name is already taken, tell me about this then) will be organised better, I promise.

    Too bad I’m not available, since the challenge looks quite interesting. I’m curious to see what you guys are gonna come up with

    Oh fun! Another totally psycho MiniLD! And I’m not being sarcastic. This is cool.

    A very interesting proposition, likely to involve much hackery… Tell me, would you be willing to yield on start time for those across the pond /other side of our verdant orb with our antisocial time zones?

    I think I am in, but I won’t be able to start in time… I won’t be able to do full 8 hours. Does it count if I’m in from 12:00 till 15:00 and then from 19:00 till 24:00?
    I am wondering what can I do in 8 hours XD

    Posting the theme this far in advance just lets people build their game now, with plenty of time.

    Lets see 8 hours to make a game? Totally crazy idea, but I think I am in. Nothing like pushing yourself to the limits.

    Cool! I made a good 13 games in 8 hours for the whoever-makes-the-most-games-wins mini-LD, so I know I can do it!

    It usually takes me longer than that to get my dev environment setup

    If you want to cheat… Well, that’s your business.

    I think I am in, but I won’t be able to start in time… I won’t be able to do full 8 hours. Does it count if I’m in from 12:00 till 15:00 and then from 19:00 till 24:00?
    I am wondering what can I do in 8 hours XD

    Well, you can, but please do timelapse then where your systemclock will be always visible so others won’t be able to tell you you cheated.

    That’s all. I won’t probably participate though. I’m not that hardcore. Yet. And working on my labyrinth game.

    I tried Klik of the Month, but 2 hours was just too short.

    8 hours, however…Hmmmmmmmm
