I'm in. It's a good way to relax from making games during the week.

Also, if the theme is potato I'm sure the results will be the best potato-games ever seen on the face of the Earth.

I want to be in as I have a hard time finishing projects and feel like LD is a good way to break that habit.  But everytime I think about trying I remember how much I cannot do my own assets and it all breaks apart.  Anyone want to jam? Tongue

I'm off (again). For me this weekend means of darkness, grimness and Black Metal. Anyway I have to say that potato is an amazing theme.

It's not about what a potato can do for you, it's all about what you can do for the potato.  Hand Fork Left

Sucking at graphics is no reason not to join. All of my LD games have had badly made art, but I made up for it through a combination of style and simple pixel art; if you get the style right it can save a lot of graphics work (I even managed to use blurry photographs as style once), and simple pixel art allows you to make images that clearly represent certain things even if you suck at making art.

(You can even get high ratings with ugly graphics; my last game was #22 overall, ranking #6, #7, #7, #44 and #86 in Fun, Innovation, Theme, Audio and Mood respectively, while the graphics rating [even after the 'ratings inflation'; when people like a game in general, it affects their ratings in ALL categories even if they didn't like that part of the game] was at a distant #460.)


It's not badly drawn, it's pixel art!

For sound, you can generate sound effects using sfxr, and music is optional. (You could use randomly generated music like many people but it sounds pretty shitty.)

In the worst case, you could avoid graphics and audio altogether - if you make your game text based (either roguelike-style ASCII graphics or just pure text), you don't need graphics or audio and people won't expect you to have it. You wouldn't be the first to make a text-based game for LD.



As for myself, I will be doing the compo again as usual.

I'd like to participate, though I'd like to collaborate rather than work alone.
I know Flashpunk well and used it on GGJ too so if you are in need of a programmer hit me with a PM.

Im in, first time  Smiley

I'm getting some mixed messages about whether I can use 2d toolkit (a 2d framework for unity) in the compo. What do ya think?


Good luck to everyone!

I'm pretty sure you're able to use whatever you want to. Good luck on your game, and have a stress-free weekend  Big Laff!

I think for the compo you can use anything that is available to everyone, so e.g., you can't use your own closed-source engine. But the rules are on the site.

Is it your first time using it? I'm using Orthello 2D for the first time. We should compare notes!
