Hi everyone,

Hope you enjoyed the great games made during this LD!

Here is mine updated so that the final form of the rose can actually be reached

See you in four months!

Hello everyone!

If any of you uses OS/X or Linux I would be very happy if you could tell me if my game works on those OS: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=9596

I never had a chance to actually test the builds I made for Linux and OS/X and maybe something is missing or I should give instructions or anything.

Thanks

Another round of really cool games I’ve found.

Hello everyone!

My friends and I used three more constraints for our games. After a randomization and voting process we ended up with Indirect Control, Leveling and Only Triangles.

We each made a compo that respect the theme of the LD as well as our constraints. It was not easy but I think it actually helped us coming up with different games.

Tell us what you think

Alien Machinery by glbs.

Baldaquin V by Marcellus.

The Rose Processor by SimonChauvin.

We might do the same next time but with only one or two constraints only maybe.

Hi everyone,

Am I the only having a hard time finding Compo entries to rate?
On the main page of ratings: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/ there are always way more jam entries than compos. I don’t like rating jams, I don’t feel it’s the same competition and I often feel like it’s gonna change my expectations, like expect more from games that were actually made by one person. Anyway, my question is: is there anything that displays only compo/jam games? I kinda remember a time where it was possible but I might be mistaken…

Thanks!

A cool french blogger has written about my game, The Rose Processor : http://oujevipo.fr/general/3898-the-rose-processor/

Hello everyone, I rated a lot of games, couldn’t help it

Here are some of my favorite games so far:

Core by MrSun.

Screen Mover by Sh1rogane.

Pixel Trapper by Vanatoth.

Break The Limits! by Volute.

Rainbow Maze by FrozenCow.

I put my game, The Rose Processor on itch.io.

My sixth participation: The Rose Processor.

I’ve had such a hard time finding an idea that I lost many hours but now I’m getting somewhere with this

Hi everyone,

I’m joining the 31st Ludum Dare. It’s the 4th time in a row that I’m joining and the 6th time overall! It’s ridiculous how much I love doing the Ludum Dare. Sometimes I wonder why because I don’t think that I’m really good at making games in a short time frame but the pressure and motivation to actually make something good in 48h is so strong that I just can’t live without it. I live for the thrill. LOL, I’m kidding, in fact it’s because I get to spend the whole weekend with my friends. In the end it reminds me of the gaming weekends I used to spend with friends when I was a kid.

SO, yes, glbs, Anna and Marcellus will be there too and we’ll each be joining the compo.

We’ll probably be using an additional constraint such as a genre or a technical limitation as well as the theme of course. We feel like we could do better with stronger constraints

My choice of tools will include:

Unity coupled with MonoDevelop.
A bit of Inkscape, Paint.net, GraphicsGale and Blender depending on the concept.
LMMS for sounds and music.
Licecap for making gifs.
All my code and assets will be hosted on my Github account.

I wish you all the best of luck and hope we all make very cool games!

Simon
