If you’d like to submit your own deal, you can post details and a link in the comments below, or send me an e-mail. Keep in mind I don’t have a lot of time, but if you need a confirmation or just to ping me once it’s posted, go ahead and mail me. When I have a chance I’ll add it to the list.
Also it MUST be relevant to what we do here (i.e. make games).
I’m happy that we now accept GameMaker resources. Good on you guys!
It’s not that I was ever against it. It’s that I had no idea they had a store too.
Yeah, it recently opened around the end of September.
I don’t see any? I just see a blank under game maker resources?
Gamemaker Marketplace is here: https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/ ( since it’s not linked above! )
Oh and there’s an Autumn sale on if you’re quick ( ends 2nd December ) https://yoyogames.com/sale
And just want to point out that the free version of GameMaker:Studio is a lot more useful than it used to be – there’s no resource limit now. You’ll get a default “Made in GameMaker” splash screen, and only able to export to Windows Desktop, but it’s free
Thanks for the links stuckie. I’ve added the marketplace link to the post
cInput, a custom input manager for Unity, will be offered at a discount to celebrate LD31!
http://itch.io/s/920/ludum-dare-31-salebration
Yup, just bought it. I designed something very similar to CInput, but for GMStudio, so I know what you went through to create this. Some people simply don’t understand the need for easy input configuration like we do
I’m not sure how much actual use I’ll get out of your asset, but at that price, it’s worth it.
Pixexix is 50% off again, it will stay that way till December 20th

Sale price is $15, Free version is still free if anyone wants to try before buying
Once again, CraftStudio, my cubic game-making platform (with optional real-time cooperative editing if you’re a team!) will be free-to-use, this time for 12 days, starting Friday 28th and until after Ludum Dare ends.
Link: http://craftstud.io/
It features drag’n’drop scripting as well as good old Lua. It packs a cubic model editor, a voxel map editor, a scene editor à la Unity and various other things including a physics engine. Note though that it doesn’t have any dynamic lighting capabilities.
Various people have used it successfully for Ludum Dare. I wrote a post regarding the latest CraftStudio game I made with friends for the “Beneath the Surface” LD, Inspector Badass: http://elisee.sparklinlabs.com/2014/05/inspector-badass/

Just pointing out that “visit this page for a Unity Pro code good until January 4th, 2015.” is a lie, and just takes you to their normal download site.
My “Activate a free 30-day trial of pro”-button remains disabled.
Maybe I shouldn’t read so fast, and actually wait until Thursday ._.
Yeah, the start time probably throws people off. Soon, just a few hours away now.
It works flawlessly!
Anyone knows if this Unity key will work just once or if I can install it on my both computers without fake email machinations?
I’ll double check but I belive the trial can be activated on up to 2 machines with one login.
Unfortunately, it’s one activation only (it’s possible to move license to another machine though)
awesome! I’ve activated Unity Pro 😀 Prepare for gaming
I have created an extension/scripts for custom input for Gamemaker Studio. It has features for making custom input easy to design in your games, including quick and easy ways to get said input states(currently pressed, just pressed, just released, how long has been pressed), and joystick(DInput and XInput) axes/buttons as well. The catch is that it depends on GML, so if you don’t know any GML it probably won’t be useful, though it is very little GML you have to know to actually use it.
It is currently on sale for $1.99(originally $4.99). You can pick it up on the marketplace.

I’m active on the GMC forums, and you can e-mail for support if you need to as well.
My Android pixel art editor (Pixel Maker) will be $1.99 – 50% off the final price – during this ludum dare: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vividhelix.pixelmaker.pro
Awesome! The unreal deal just saved me $57!
This is indeed cool! Always was curious about how UE4-Editor will work with Linux (just compiling)
I always wanted to try UE4. Half a day of preparation is a bit short though.
I’ll also leave this bit of info here: Unreal Engine 4 is free for students: https://www.unrealengine.com/education
Wow, I’m really impressed with the UE4 deal. Thanks!
UE4 deal not working? When i press “get a code” this is displayed: Result: Unable to assign code
Oh wow, already? That’s pretty amazing. I literally went to sleep 2 hours before you posted that, and we had 50% left.
when will you get more?
UE4 deal not working
Unfortunately, I could not get the code to UE4
Epic is doing it up, I hope that they donate some more codes!
I happened to be up for the UE4 deal because I was up early waiting to watch the Orion launch. Lucked into it, basically. Greatly appreciated! I’ve been wanting to give UE4 a go for a while now, but being out of work, my budget is really tight, so I couldn’t really justify it. While I’ll still be using Unity for LD31, hopefully now I can give UE4 a shot for LD32. Have to see how it goes.
Thank you!
Looks like UE4 codes are back! Just grabbed one, had already bought a subscription to get into it so this is awesome. I never really liked Unity that much but seemed like everyone was using them so happy to have a solid alternative
UE codes gone
What is the deal with Unity Pro? If I currently have an app in google play, that I made in Unity Free, and I regulary update it, would I be able to build it and update it using this Unity Pro license? I want to make Game for LD, and I would like to try Pro Unity, but if it makes impossible to update my game made in Free Unity then thanks for that Pro License. If I could use this Pro license to normally build and publish my game though, great, I could make and update without Unity splash screen.
Could somebody shed some light on that matter? I would like to try Pro but I dont want to mess up my Unity so I could not update my game for a month.
I’d like to know as well, normal Unity Pro trial doesn’t allow any releasing with AFAIK.
Unreal Engine codes already ran out
Should’ve got early to have one
i just get a free AGK through Ludum Dare deals… THANK YOU ! 😀
awesome.
Pickle editor is now coming up with error that LD31 is not a valid code, so you may want to remove the link to them.
