My first real entry for LD. I’m a lurker, and I usually join in without submitting anything. Building prototypes and playthings without having anyone else see it! I feel dirty confessing this,.. Anyway I’m done and I finished in time. Here it is, out in the open. Now I’m completely done for and in need of sleep.

So .. I cannot begin to explain how great an experience this Ludum Dare was for me. I’ll be rating games all week. Also fixing ‘typos’ in one fell swoop probably by the end of the week. I learned about the importance of planning and scope. Plus just how tiring a couple days of focusing on a single project is. I cut corners where I could but spent the most time working on the engine of my game. It was more than worth it.

I didn’t have time to update during the competition but you can check out the devlog here :

Enclosed is a true story of how Ludum Dare 27 changed my life.  I hope everyone had such a positive experience as I did.

If you haven’t tried WaterCloset then follow the link to the entry here. I should have a linux build up before too long.

Ok so the theme is ‘Tiny World’,  which Id given a -1 to both times I could vote for it. So, at a bit of a loss as to what I should make at this stage!

Time for some serious thinking. I have some ideas for a game Id like to make, but how to make it work with the theme….. Thats what makes Ludum Dare such an interesting event though. So Im not complaining! Sometimes its fun to never know exactly whats going on

Also, Im screen-capturing the full 48 hours (I did the same with LD22 but was too disappointed to make the timelapse at the end), so hopefully Ill come out of this LD ready to put the timelapse together.
