In just under 5 3 weeks, we’ll be kicking-off our 33rd major Ludum Dare event. Lets do this!
Ludum Dare on WordPress, one more time
Like usual, we’ll be using the somehow-still-working WordPress powered website to run Ludum Dare 33.
I do regret that I underestimated the amount of work needed to rewrite Ludum Dare from the ground up. I bit off a lot, but I’ve enjoyed myself.
I’ll talk about progress in a moment.
Theme Suggestions are Open
You know the drill. Go here, and tell us what you think the theme should be.

Project “Starship”, the new Ludum Dare, in great detail
The new website is still in development. Things are working, but it’s not done.
I’ve written an EPIC POST. The progress so far, what’s coming, and what to expect.
Click if you Dare.

OH YEAH! EVERYONE ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!
I sent in some theme ideas. I hope you like them.
Excited for LD33! Going to be our first D:
Looking forward so much to this LD! Does anyone (maybe a fellow Hollander) know a place to talk to/meet other Dutch LD participants? Or any related game dev community that is dutch?
Hey hey,
you should ask metaldemon. He is knowing a lot dutch game devs. Maybe you can create something cool.
That’s an idea, thanks
I believe a good theme would be “Dystopian Future”
Not to be mean, but “lets” has an apostorphe, making it “let’s”
And it’s spelled apostrophe.
I’m giving up now …. ! I have asked now 4 times and more in the past 3 month: “How i can help on the new website…”. I asked in comments, i asked in the IRC chat, i asked over Twitter …. no answer nothing. In all posts there is always this: “Wooow this is too much work … maybe i need help”. I’m a senior web engineer doing my job over 15 years now. If there is nothing to help …. ok. More time to make my own stuff. Sorry that i’m a bit angry …
Don’t give up and go to https://github.com/povrazor/ludumdare
I’m in! This’ll be my second one. It will be fun!
I couldn’t find any info on this topic: when is the theme voting going to start?
It’s in the rules. I think I’m blind. Forget the question!
Local start date / time:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Ludum+Dare+%2333&iso=20150821T18&p1=224
How does this work I just create an account and see what the theme is in a week
Aboy, you are correct. It will be posted on the site on Friday, 21 August at 21:00 EST.
After it’s announced you have either 48* or 72** hours to complete your game.
*Ludum Dare: Compo (aka “Hardcore Mode”) – This is a solo challenge in which you must create everything from scratch. You MUST share your source code at the end of the competition.
**Ludum Dare: Game Jam (aka “Normal Mode”) – This can be a solo or team to create a game. You may use pre-made basecode for this event.
I recommend you take a look at the rules page I’ve linked below:
http://ludumdare.com/compo/rules/
Good luck!
