Coming up the weekend after this one!


Semicopypasted explanation of LD from last thread:

LD is a game jam. You optionally vote for a theme in the days running up to the event, and then based on that theme or keyword you get 48 or 72 hours (plus a submission hour) to make a game! You need to go on the website, log in, and click 'join event' before it starts!

48 hours is referred to as "compo" and 72 as "jam" and they have different rules—jam is more relaxed and you're allowed to work in a team—so make sure you read the rules on the website first.

When the time is up, a couple of weeks of playing games and rating/commenting them (only people who submitted their own games can do this) commences, and if you want to get ratings/comments yourself you need to do this.

You don't win anything beyond good ratings/comments at best, but it's fun and you always grow a little bit as a developer, as does your portfolio!

Remember that you need to host your game yourself—the LD website does not provide this. The website has a guide for this. I personally recommend itch.io. Also you need to make it work at least on web or Windows (I think?) to be allowed to submit your game.


Twitter hashtag: #LDJAM (even if you're doing the compo)

  • Great blog post from an earlier LD here on considering keyboard differences between countries and so on, and more to bear in mind!
  • Here is another post describing to fix broken macOS .app files when zipped from Windows.

Nice to see you again! Looks interesting Blink Blink

I finished early this time (about an hour or two ago), nice to have the whole evening to relax and being able to go to bed at a normal time for once.
