Ludum Dare 50 - One More Song!

Fri, 22 Apr 2022 13:02:30 +0000

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/50/one-more-song

Follow the story of a frontman who will do anything for his time in the spotlight to last… just a bit longer!

As the end of the show looms, he can’t resolve to go back in the shadows backstage. No, he has to play one more song! The only thing is that his bandmates may need some convincing… and if he stops playing or singing, they will surely stop and pack their gear. No choice, he has to keep on playing until they are convinced, even if that means using his mouth and feet to get his way!

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/photographic-memory

The stories of our lives keep diving into one another like pictures of pictures. As we dive into the memories, new stories arise and all is not always as it seems.

Unlock these moments as they were captured by the cameras of Louise, Berthe, and Georges over the last 50 years in the south of France.

Drag the right mouse button to orbit around the camera and left click to interact. Finding the right settings allows you to snap the picture.

What the hell have they done at the Fundation of Artefact Revival Timespace?!? I’ve told them so many times that a T-Rex cannot handle a managing console with so many buttons… I mean you don’t have to play with him 42th times to PDTA-VR to understand where the problem is! Too short is too short!

Post by @colonel-mangue (website)

I thought I’d write a little sort of behind the scenes article about our game to attract some attention and because these game jams are always, in my mind, interesting experiences worth sharing. I’m sure for many usual participants it’s nothing new, as we all go through similar processes, but I figured it’s fun to share and, it might be of interest at least for some first time participants.

Ludum Dare 40 - Space Dominator

Sun, 19 Aug 2018 15:26:19 +0000

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/space-dominator

Welcome to this improvised and sarcastic training message for innocent commanders! Our beloved home planet is slowly running out of resources, and people are in need for a charismatic leader (that’s you!)

Population grows constantly, and consumes resources. The more you have, the more it consumes.

Feed your people by building mines. But remember that planets have limited resources. Your homeland will eventually be exhausted by your own avarice, and soon you will look into the stars for a new home to cherish.

You’ve finally reached the last known location of the Red October. It’s already a small wonder your old rustbucket got you so far, but will it be able to dive deep enough to reach the bottom of the sea and to the rumored treasures hidden there ? You will need to use anything you can find lying around to upgrade your sub and hopefully uncover the mystery of that legendary wreck.

Wed, 26 Jul 2017 20:19:04 +0000

The great shape-shifting god requires a sacrifice ! The sacrificial crowd needs to be put in place. This is a two man job : one moves these worthless minions around and the other dominates the scene from his high vantage point and makes sure the holy instructions are followed.

Use space to switch from one to the other. While playing the man on the ground hold shift to run and left click to yell at the mindless sheep to guide them to their proper positions. Ctrl grabs them and throws them around and when you feel ready, the observer can summon the gods using the END key.

Sun, 16 Feb 2014 22:23:00 +0000

http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-26/?action=preview&uid=8588

“The Flood is over and Noah’s Ark got stranded. Something’s wrong with the animals though.

They lie in pieces all over the place, and the assembly manual got lost. Maybe using it as toilet paper wasn’t such a good idea after all.

You’ll have to reconstruct proper animals before The Almighty notices. Resources are sparse, so the fewer pieces per animal the better. Time for some minianimalism!
