Hi guys! At the neighbor Alakajam! community, we have hosted something special this month: 8 games from Alakajam! and Ludum Dare have been handpicked for people to compete on them, post high scores, and climb the leaderboard!

We’re having a lot of fun so far, and it’s quite a different experience to really play and try to master the games, rather than just test them to give feedback. The competition is fierce but there’s still a chance for good players to get a spot in the podium.

Of course this is all just for fun, with no prizes or anything

The competition ends on May 31st, before we switch to the next big jam, planned for the 22-24 June week-end. The last Alakajam was pretty exciting as well, with 71 entries on the theme “You can’t see everything”. We hope to see you around for the end of the Tournament, and hopefully the next jam!

EDIT: The tournament is over, the site has now switched to launch the 22-24 June jam!

Hi all,

I post this here because ldjam.com is not really googleable.

I created a browser / search engine for Ludum Dare 41 to enable searching by platform and to browse the games more easily.

Cheers!

Hello Ludumites,

I’ve been told I pronounce LudumDare wrong, but regardless of this fact – check out my latest development log for some of my top tips on participating in a game jam!

I’m an advanced aword winning composer/sound designer. I will be glad to participate in LD 41 with aword winning team or solo participant.

You will be missed. To the future!

If you are on a gamejam with short time and you dont want to code basic stuff like a pick up system or even how doors work in UE4 then you can simply use this tool #FPEkit. I made some walking simulators in my time here but I used unity and didnt got into coding but with the easy to use Blueprints (visual scripting language) in UE4 I got into it. It may seem as a lot of work at first but this tool can cut some time with examples and plug and use codes. Everything to get you started with

First Person Exploration Kit is a starter package to create a First Person Environmental Exploration or “walking simulator”.
It is easy to use & cheap. It is build for the Unreal Engine 4.

If you want to see the tool you can download the demo or simply watch that video below

It’s my second time using Defold now, and I’m starting to like it more and more! It crashed a few times, but other than that it was a pleasant experience 😀

Anyway, the game idea is to build an automated recycle plant and uh, make a profit or something(?). We only managed to build conveyor belts and item splitters, but we wanted to make it a bit more sim city-esque where you would build different types of material processors / furnaces that converts materials into energy or sub-materials that is needed to run the facility, factory workers that would run the machines, paid contracts from the city that you could accept in order to generate cashflow etc. But for a ~24h game it’s pretty fun.
