Hi guys!
My last entry was for ld26 (wow) and I want to participate to the next one but I can’t log in with my legacy username and password.
Do I need to create a new one or is there a step that I missed? I didn’t find the answer online.
Hope to test your games soon!
Cheers!
Ludum Dare is coming soon, Dec 1 and occasionally I like to uses new techs during the jam. So, I’ve decided to try Gamemaker 2 this time. And in preparation for that I’m going to make a Tower Defence games as a warm up exercise and to familiarize myself with Gamemaker 2.
Chroma Maze Deluxe is my newly released game for iOS and Android, where you must swipe through randomly generated mazes to get to the goal as many times within the time limit. The walls of the maze quickly disappear! You can illuminate the path with a double-tap, but doing so also depletes some of your remaining time! Collect power-ups, and try to get to the goal as many times as possible!
Other features include:
Chroma Maze Deluxe is a continuation of my Ludum Dare 31 entry of the same name. Chroma Maze was the first game that I ever made, so this mobile reimagining is very special to me! Please enjoy it!
My mobile game, Chroma Maze Deluxe, will be coming to the App Store and Google Play Store on September 25th. Chroma Maze Deluxe is a re-imagining of my Ludum Dare 31 game of the same name, suited for a mobile experience. Chroma Maze is very special to me because it was the first Ludum Dare, as well as the first game that I ever finished!
Please look forward to more on September 25th. 
So my game is called “Rulesquest” it’s a project I wanted to do for some time but I never got around to start it.
Well I started yesterday and finished a few minutes ago

This is my first Compo entry! Hope everything goes well. I’m just waiting for the LDJam site to accept game submissions to consider myself completely finished.
Protect your beloved town against a evil menace that threatens to wipe your beloved people. Just please, try not to destroy anything while doing it.
In Carefulzilla you control giant legs with your mouse, dragging them to make the giant move. Reach the boss at the end and kick his arse to beat the game.

We will be jamming in their communal space, a spacious and bright room on the ground floor of the building and a stone-throw away from Shoreditch High Street. If the weather is nice, we can also make use of their terrace.
There will be:
Lightning fast internet speeds
Showers
24 hour access
Free food and drink
Optional self-care activites
Tables and chairs
What to bring:
A laptop and charger
Pens, paper, whiteboards – what you need to get creative

Hope to see you there!
Hey people! Introduction, I’m a 13 year old game dev. I’ve been building games since I was 8 and I’m working on some projects with YouTubers like Rong.
Can anyone be kind enough to make me understand a little bit about how things work at Ludum Dare? Thanks in advance ^_^
Well.
I’ve gotten into C# coding recently, and I’ll be honest: I know nothing. I just thought I’d make these little, I dunno, posts of such, like a diary, so I can look back and say “Well I am was an idiot back then”. Just making a post, excited about Ludum Dare 38. I’m not sure if I should stream it or such, but whatever. I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. This is my first Ludum Dare, and it’s going to be my worst. I doubt much will happen. At best I’ll get a couple comments saying I’m an attention whore for posting this.

A little update for the Ludumdare community about pygame.
Over the last many months a bunch of us has slowly been toiling away at pygame. Remember pygame? It’s an SDL for python, but with a pythonic API.
Seven years or so worth of changes in this little release. What’s changed? Even I don’t know really. Sort of lots, and sort of not much. I’ve been meaning to write a series of blog posts describing things, and will eventually.
But one thing is that it integrates nicely with the python package manager. Meaning games can be distributed to tens of millions of python users with a `pip install yourgame`.
We’ve also been experimenting, and working on other packaging tools. Like windows installers, linux installers, and zero configuration packaging amongst other topics. Alongside this work has been trying to raise awareness within the python community, that yes, game developers and artists actually exist who use python. We’re still here. Plus there’s a new website (well, it’s still in beta testing, but probably will replace the old one any day now). Well, it’s more a continuation of the old websites. It’s been an act of slowly migrating old content (the earliest files are from the year 2000). Like all the cool kids, we’re moving to github.com/pygame (fashionably late as usual).
As someone once said Punk’s not dead(and neither is pygame).
I was at GDC this past week and learned a lot about an interesting engine called DeFold, http://www.defold.com/. It’s focused on 2D games, and has a lot of features that seem like a natural fit for gamejams:
– small foot print
– fast performance
– runs on HTML5, OSX, Windows, Linux, even iOS and Android
– Hot reloading (replace assets while game is running.)
– Tile editor
– Particle editor
– GUI editor
– Spine support (http://esotericsoftware.com/spine-in-depth)
– Lua Scripting
– Built in editor and debugger, but you can use other IDEs.
I’m going to learn as much as I can by April and try it out for LD38. Does anyone have any experience using it? Any tips or great tutorials I should check out?
See you in April!
I’m in. <– Is that the new meta around here? Anyways, I’m new around here, just learning the ropes. I’m a pleb at game development and I’ve decided to come to Ludum Dare not only because I have a knack for video games but because I’ve always been a fanatic about game development and the hard work that goes into the games I so furiously rage at. Thanks Terry. I’m excited to play some Ludum Dare game jams and hopefully participate in one once I feel I wont be obliterated by the other amazing works of art people here create. Thanks everyone, you too Mike.
I’m in. I am trying my hand at game development.
Mostly am interested in public or open-source engines and developing across multiple platforms. Hope to submit an entry for the mini LD on the elympics /scoring theme.
Creating art and music is fairly new to me so I hope to learn a lot by completing a dare! Like many I am also a solo developer, and I appreciate this site for its great utility in highlighting and exposing the challenges that new and upcoming developers face, and for creating a very fun and challenging environment to inspire us to release our creations.
What time does this next Ludum Dare start, and in what time zone?
This will be my first one, and I am really excited. I know it says April 21st – 24th are the dates. I also read the rules and FAQ, but I couldn’t seem to find what time zone is used and what time it starts.
Thanks!
