Ludum Dare #9: “Build the Level You Play”

Posted on 04.27.07 by Mike K @ 10:56 pm

The compo is going ahead full force, despite our complete lack of publicity and organization.

The theme is “Build the Level You Play“. In other words, design a game leveraging user creation or user created content, or a game of building. Line Rider, PuffBOMB, The Incredible Machine, and much more. We’ve seen some pretty exciting ideas discussed in IRC, so don’t miss out.

Join us on IRC:
irc.afternet.org in #ludumdare

Due:
EST: Sunday April 29th, 2007 - 8:00PM (20:00)
PST: Sunday April 29th, 2007 - 5:00PM (17:00)
UTC/GMT: Monday April 30th, 2007 - 12:00AM (0:00)

Good luck.

Stay tuned for Ludum Dare 10. It’s such a grand number, we can’t help but not go all out on it. Revised rules too! After 5 years! zOMG!

Ludumdare #9, April 28th 2007

Yep. It’s coming. Beyond suggesting the date, I’ve been too busy to get really involved, but it’s coming. This might be one of the most last minute LD’s in a couple years, but it should come together.

After all, it’s an April tradition.

Visit us on irc.afternet.org in #ludumdare, and start some fires, and help us get things moving.

The mailing list is still there, though the website is down. I’m in the middle of splitting my websites between personal and business on to 2 separate hosts, gamecompo.com being a personal one.

Warmup Ludum Dare Compo 2007 - Jan 26-28

Posted on 01.19.07 by Mike K @ 3:05 pm

This is a reprint of what hit the mailing list yesterday.

Hey,

On the weekend of Jan 26-28 there will be an unofficial Ludum Dare warmup competition.
The compo will be held entirely in #ludumdare on irc.afternet.org. Final entries must be hosted on your own web space. Someone might put up a wiki, but that someone won’t be me

- Theme choice will be discussed and voted on Jan 26 at 7pm PST.
- Participants will have the whole weekend to create the game
- You must choose a single 24 hour time-slot to build your game (so, “all day Saturday”, etc, no taking all 72 hours to make the game. This is a mini-warmup compo with flexible hours.) Honor system and all that.
- Winners will be informally nominated after the competition. “I nominate so-and-so for best graphics!”

Hope to see you there!
Phil

Stop by for some milk and cookies, and for some encouragement to get you out of any game making rut you may be in.
