READY TO RACE. Actually I might have to work that weekend but I'm pulling out all the stops and doing whatever it is you do with the nitro to get everything done in advance.

Haven't decided what technology I'm going to use but I'm hoping to put together some basecode so I can get off to a 'ROLLING START'

My only tip to everyone is to have your development environment set up in advance to avoid any stress or chaos during the jam.

Finally, I'm looking forward to a fair, sporting and above all, FRIENDLY competition between the entrants with lots of cooperation and constructive feedback

Hi everyone, I've always liked the idea of making games and have played around with some engines but never managed to really complete a project. I figure it's time to get serious and see what I can put together from start to finish in 48 hours. I'll be using Phaser to make a web based game. Probably Inkscape or Gimp for the art. Not sure what I'll do for sound yet, probably something simple like BFXR. My avatar represents one of my first attempts at original game art lol. Looking forward to seeing everyone's games!

Hello! A first-timer game jammer here! I'm joining with two other friends as a team and we will try our best in 5th Alakajam.
We'll be sharing roles as much as possible and the goal is to practice and learn. And who knows what can happen?

Hey guys, your favorite french brothers are back in to surprise you for a fourth time. (with only two succesful attempt xD)
We decided to spice things up by changing from one major engine to another (Unity to Unreal)

Me and Just are sharing all the roles as designer, coder and artist. We want to discover the new engine and maybe create something out of it.

In between we won one prize at the Montreal Global Game Jam so we're getting the hang of it!

Don't worry, our doom-like 3d/2d style will not be lost by changing engine. well… I hope not :)

tools:
Unreal Engine 2.4.2
Asesprite
paint.net
a free sound/music bank on the interweb
Blender
one satanic bible
something to code with
whiskey and rum
pizza?

Cheers and have fun guys!

I'm in for my 5th AKJ and my 14th game jam! (13 of which were 48 hour solo)

Here's what I'm using:

• Python - code
• Pygame - graphics library
• Px Editor - artwork
• SFXR or foley - sound effects
• Bosca Ceoil or LMMS - music
• 3x6 pixel art font - font
• entities.py - pygame 2D framework

I made both the font and the entities.py script. Feel free to use them both for anything. No credit needed.

My last AKJ entry (Spike Dungeon):

If you're interested in my other work (source available too), check out my itch.io page.

I missed the last Ludum Dare because I got pretty sick the day of so I haven't done a game jam since the last AKJ. I'm really looking forward to this one! \o/

Good luck everyone!

psst… pygame is viable

First jam ever. I'm excited about it. I'm looking forward to learning and see what everyone brings to the table. Attempting solo to get my feet wet. Curious what engines people will be using and what quality of polish they can get done in such a short time.

Run for your life is a Fantasy Endless runner plateformer.
The basic idea came from the movie the Hobbit with the goblin chase

I wanted to create an endless runner where you have a party of adventurer that need to create their path through a lot of monsters and plateforms. The have to use magics and the environment to defeat their enemies.

To get there, I started with a smaller version where you only have one character with a fireball and that will need to avoid Ogres or destroy them to get further. This version is also inspired by "Jetpack joy" another endless runner ;)

I would be happy if you can try it and give me your feedbacks and/or ideas to get closer to my first idea.
Have fun ;)

So I really wanted to take part in this jam but I've just been way too busy.
The thing is I started working on a game that fits the hyper casual bill around xmas last year and I'm just finishing it now?

Is it cool if I submit it unranked? Would love to take part but I've just not had time to work on a whole new project as well as everything else.

"The Earth is under attack! - The army is out of money!

Luckily the aliens attack only one soldier at a time…
Giving time for the army to raise some money via a tv show…
More show, more money…
Upgrade your soldiers to survive!
Or the aliens for more money…"

A small action game with pixel graphics and music to go with it.
Upgrades and achievements are included!

Slowly working on my little platformer. Trying to tweak the difficulty is a bit tough, but I think I have enough hazards to keep the player busy. If I have time I might work on powerups before the deadline!
