Any "Ludum Dare" folk here?

Post by Arkiruthis »

I saw a couple of Avatars over on the latest Ludum Dare (www.ludumdare.com) gaming competition that look very similar to ones here ( SoS and kojack, I think? ). If so, would be cool to find your entries (so many now that I'm completely lost on the website). This was my first ever LD... but I didn't use Ogre3D, I'm ashamed to say. :oops:

For those that don't know it, it's a 48hr game development competition and some of the entries look fantastic:

I participated too to a few of them but not this time. I'm underwater working on my (long term dev.) game...

The theme this time is really promising so I think I'll consecrate a few hours to test the released games.

Aww. Well good luck for your current game though!

Hah, it was one of the topics I REALLY didn't want and gave the lowest score. Karma, I guess... :lol:

previous poster "lottIllexudge" is a spambot, reported to admins. (seems to be a lot about recently)

Yeah I believe it is not easy to endup with something really into this theme and still interesting in such a short time.

Not me, I've never entered.
But my college does something similar, we have a 40 hour game challenge, but we spread it over five 8 hour days. We don't care if they work after hours, but it's better if they get some sleep.
(Then we give out a bunch of serious and joke awards for things like spending the most time on facebook)
