Hi guys!

Coming back here for the third time, @Annika @shooliagods and I are ready to roll! We'll be using GameMaker again as our engine and krita/photoshop for our graphics.

It's almost time for the stream, so good luck everyone! See you all on sunday °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

Who could be standing behind that podium?

Join us tonight at 18:00 UTC on DanaePlays channel for the launch stream to find out!

Looking forward to this weekend's Jam:

• a shortlist of original themes that can be interpreted many different ways - wonder which one will end on top;
• planned out the weekend for this;
• great way to end my vacation.

Haven't decided on tech/tools yet. Though Love2D looks cool to give a try.

Good luck everyone!

I got out of hospital on Tuesday with not one, but two kidney stones that I have yet to pass. However I signed up for this with every intention of doing my best so here goes.

After what I can only call a miraculous success from AKJ7 I am hyped to jump right back in to making something new and exciting to learn with. I'll be entering the 3 day jam as a solo this year supported by my wonderful girlfriend so I'm going to have to make some sacrifices in regards to music and sfx but I'll see what I can do.

I'll be using Godot again as the engine as it served me well last time, wings 3D and krita/inkscape for graphics and if I somehow manage it, bfxr for sfx and Sibelius for music.

Good luck to everyone taking part whether you're here to compete or just have a good time. Looking forward to all the entries I'll get to play.

This will be the first jam where I'll use PICO-8 to create a game and I'm already quite excited!

While I was going through some tutorials I remembered a 2008 netbook I still had in my drawer, et voilà:

It runs xubuntu and now directly boots into PICO-8. Also adjusted Terminator for a C64 feel:

Despite 32bit and single core, pico runs surprisingly well. This thing might be old, but has a solid battery. It's great to have a machine that I just can boot up and start programming, even on the go. :)

Happy Jam everyone!

This Friday, one hour before the jam launch, DanaePlays and @Aurel300 will host a livestream! Featuring jam host @Thrainsa as a guest, it's the closest thing we have to meeting in the flesh, and also:

• a chance for winning magnets and stickers (???),
• for watching the top 10 themes getting eliminated live,
• …and of course for getting 300% hyped before 48 hours of jamming!

See you on DanaePlay's Twitch channel :)

After last times quite unsuccesfull attempt, I'm back with more knowledge and ambition than ever!
(Just realised I missed 2 Jams… Shame..)
This time as a team! On my side is Oliminor (graphics expert)!

Engine: Unity
Graphics: Aseprite
Music: Sound Forge / Bosca ceoil
Motivation: Maltesers

Might even do a dev. log on it… Anyone would be interested?

I missed AKJ 7 so I'm hoping to find time to make something for this jam :D

I've never made a 3D game for a jam so I'm aiming to do something 3D so I can practice my blender skills!

Hi everyone,
I'm Ellie, and I live in Nevada, but am originally from Sweden. I found this jam through the Ludum Dare page, and am really looking forward to jamming this upcoming weekend. I am conscidering doing the extended deadline, as I work evenings (so there goes Friday, and it's my turn to host -and cook for- DnD that Sunday, lol) but we'll see.

My background is in game design, and I particularly enjoy level design, but am neither programmer or artist, so it'll be an interesting challenge. Oh, and I will most likely do this jam in the Twine engine. :)

Best of luck to us all!

I'm new here so unsure of the rules. Please blast me out if this type of post is unwelcome. But a friend of mine and I finally made time for a Game Jam and found this community through your Ludum Dare post. And I'm so excited to have a community to do the jam with!!

Cheers to all! And may the odds ever be in your favor!
