Whats up my fellow game makers…. Today ive decided to enter this game jam. I use GameMaker Studio to makemy games

I will be using Löve2D and Gimp.

Hello! My name is Dylan and I am currently a sophmore in college. I've been doing game development since I started high school and now run a game development club at my university. I am comfortable with working in Unity Game Engine with programming, most of the Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) for 2D visual work alongside Aseprite, Magica Voxel for basic 3D models, SunVox for sound work, and some other miscellaneous tools for smaller focused functions. My expectations for this jam are more personally directed, as I want to leave the weekend with a product that is complete. This jam will be my first 48 hour jam, so I'm super excited to put my skills to the test!

Buenas a todos.
Es mi primer ludum y tengo muchas ganas de probar y ponerme a pruebo, lo desarrollare yo solo.

Mi idea es utilizar -Unity o Game Maker -Photoshop -y 3dMax
Un saludo espero que todos podamos terminar a pronto y salgan cosas increibles.

Looking forward to it.

I'm a johnny-come-lately in the Ludum Dare world, but I'll soon be an Alakajam veteran!

Looking forward to playing everyone's games.

That means, you can submit themes you like and vote for the themes of other participants. All you have to do is to create an account and start to submit and rate themes.

The voting process

• For one week (starting Feb 9th) you can submit up to three theme suggestions. Everyone else will be able to rate your suggestions positively or negatively.
• After one week (at Feb 16th) suggestions will be closed. The top ten themes will be made public and everybody can vote for them in order of preference.
• The final theme will be announced with the launch of the jam (at Friday Feb 23rd, 7pm) with an announcement video.
