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.
In 8 hours? Challenge considered lol
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
Challenge accepted, sir. I will see you on the fields of battle.
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
8 hours to make a game about dragons mmmmmmm consider me in! 😀
I should be able to manage this, I think. I keep wanting to make games :3
I accept your challenge except I want to make a game in a different time.
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
I have an idea for this so I’m totally ready 😀
OK, I wasn’t available for a while but here’s my response:
1. Time for people in different timezones: http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc
If you want to cheat… Well, that’s your business.
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.
That website doesn’t even have CEST time!
I made a countdown: http://tinyurl.com/first8hLD
I tried Klik of the Month, but 2 hours was just too short.
8 hours, however…Hmmmmmmmm
I am Joining!
If you’re too lazy to convert the time, just check this countdown: http://tinyurl.com/first8hLD
Is there ny more informtion on this, for exmple where to send games when finished?
Yea what BomberBox said
Ive also finally got inspiration to build a small game
