SamSerious graciously notified me that LD50 theme suggestions are now open, so here's the thread!


See older threads for more info about the Ludum Dare game jam.

Theme suggestions: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/50/theme

EDIT:
Accidentally wrote "theme voting" rather than "suggestions" here and in the op/title, but we're not quite there yet!

[oahda]

Apparently there's a new, more relaxed category besides "compo" and "jam" this time! o:

PoV's LD50 post

[oahda]

Time to weed out themes: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/50/theme

EDIT: Now voting, same link.

[SamSerious]

all these possibilities...
Road trip
Folklore
Out of order
Echoes
Infestation
Become the enemy
Read the manual
Shelter
Outnumbered
One tool, many purposes
Clockwork
Make connections
Parasite

Garden
Mirror
Out of bounds

Weird how 'echoes' slipped into both round 1 and 2

[SamSerious]

oh, you are right! I haven't noticed that before you mentioned it. Maybe someome proposed it 3 times and it got voted up by the same people every time. We'll see when round 3 is up 



Here are the options for round 2:
Some assembly required
Playing both sides
Fragile
One use only
Replication
Mutation
Automation
Delay the inevitable
Layers
Corruption
Color is a mechanic
Overflow
Echoes
You control the environment, not the character
Leave something behind
Snowball effect
A faithful companion

[oahda]

In round 3 too, this time's joke theme then

[SamSerious]

I feel like someone might want to hijack the system, by creating 1k accounts since LD49 and then pushing some random silly theme, Echoes.

anyway, these are the 10 from the 3rd round:
Sky pirates
Teleportation
Tunnels
Space is limited
Echoes
You are the power source
Overgrown
Crossroads
Repair
Branching out
Momentum
A single resource
Strength in numbers
Decay
Treasure Map
Fill the void
Combine

[oahda]

Final round!

[SamSerious]

all remaining themes are shieet; everything as usual

[oahda]

I'm not completely disappointed this time, but the winning theme might not be one I like

[oahda]

Final theme is: DELAY THE INEVITABLE

[SamSerious]

I think it's the first time I like a LD theme 

[oahda]

It's not what I hoped for, but I managed to come up with something I'm excited about, so I hope it works out

[SamSerious]

darn, my teammate 3d artist vanished 

[oahda]

Ouch, hope nothing bad happened!

I'm done for my first day. Trying Twine for the first time, so most of today went towards just learning it. This dialogue tree is mostly hardcoded just to test the idea now. Hope I can make it fun to lie your way through job interviews!

I love the idea, especially knowing the theme 

[oahda]

I hope so! Spent most of yesterday figuring out tech I'm not too familiar with and refining the presentation so today I'm actually filling out the Twine tree with the game itself, conversations and options. With any luck it'll work out! How's your game doing?

[SamSerious]

originally we made plans to make a rogue like FPS in kind of an "Alien" setting.

now I've just worked on a pure shooter, where waves of enemies(cubes ) attack you, like bullet hell.
waves getting bigger and enemies stronger, you only delay your death. It's working, but not really polished.

I found picoCAD, I think I will learn to create art with it for LD51 

Looking forward to play your game, I'm hyped it will be funny. No Pressure!
