[b]It just started! The theme for this one is "Discovery"![/b]
Here's some copypasta for ya.
[quote]Ludum Dare is a regular accelerated game development Event. Participants develop games from scratch in a weekend, based on a theme suggested by community.
Ludum Dare was founded by Geoff Howland, and held it’s first competition in April of 2002. Since then the community has run more than 18 regular Events, dozens of practice competitions, collectively creating thousands of games in just a weekend each.
The event attracts developers from all sides of the industry. Students, hobbyists, industry professionals from many well respected game studios, as well as many independent game developers.
For many people, it can be difficult to find or make the time create a game or prototype for yourself. We’re here to be your excuse. [/quote]
[quote]The Competition is the familiar “make a game in 48 hours solo competition” that Ludum Dare is known for. Specific details can be found below. After the competition ends, participants are given 2 weeks to play and rate games created by their peers. After those 2 weeks, winners are announced.[/quote]
Notch will be streaming his game creation. It's gonna be fu-un!
Ooh. Looks cool.
I'm gonna make a badass point n' click game. Aw yeah.
Good luck to all of you participants.
I'd do this in a heartbeat...
If I knew jack-shit about game design. :sigh:
Something tells me Notch won't have a hard time coming up with a "discovery" game.
Competitions like this are awesome, I wish I was capable at them. I simply take too long contemplating the "design phase" of the game and how things will work that doing a 48 competition would simply not be possible for me... by the time I've thought of something suitable and the kinks worked out I'd only have 2 hours left to actually do the game :v:
Assuming I could program of course.
hopefully someone will make a space exploring game.
I love ludum dare, it always makes cool free games.
Dunno if they say anywhere, but it means "To give a game" in Latin.

Thanks. :buddy:
I'd participate but frankly I'm not motivated enough to finish the thing I'm currently working on.
Lack of experience with SDL = A no-go for Ludum Dare. :smith:
That is unless anyone would like a shit-fuck Adventure-like game out there.
I love competitions like this.
Because a lot of good free indie games usually come out. :v:

The lack of motivation among indie devs is why this competition exists. You actually have a deadline!

Here's one of the backgrounds from my game.
So now that the competition is over, how did it go?
