LD39 — Running out of Power

PEW PEW PRINCESS by Karai17 2017-08-02T01:10:45Z

@doomshmuck: shield was intended to scale with difficulty. we ran out of time for sound effects trying to make the levels (which took significantly longer than @everbrave seems to think when we didn't have any of the relevant code for this type of game...)

@bobsleigh: hitbox is top of torso

LD42 — Running out of space

Farmageddon by Karai17 2018-08-16T18:01:15Z

@shinyogre thanks! the UI flicker is a known issue, I couldn't figure out what was causing that at all. I will make sure it is sorted out. I completely agree that player feedback & information is lacking, we just ran out of time! the lettuce model is used for most of the crops because of this too, I was building them right to the last minute!

@simon-rahnasto thanks a lot for all the kind words & thanks for the video of first play, it's very helpful to see the things that are confusing at first. did your pumpkins & blueberries make as much as you had hoped? :)

I saw many places where improvements to instructions, control and feedback would have been helpful, I will work on it.

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Off the Rails 2 by Karai17 2018-12-23T17:19:11Z

@papaver thanks!

@riyroo thanks! we were going to have a scene that tied it together at the start and once you got enough coins, but... had to sacrifice it for time. the sole reason you can dab is that I didn't have enough time to animate more/other tricks. tricks were supposed to help you go faster, but that ended up not happening... it felt like something was missing when the button was removed, though.

@pickens-inc thanks a bunch! dark secret: you can rename the exe or love to .zip and extract the game data (or just open it as-is with anything that can read a zip), check assets/bgm for the music and listen all you like.

I wanted to fix that animation up, but as is tradition with LD games, we ran out of time to do it.

@nander the link to the theme... was sacrificed for time ;)

@drevilbrain thanks! the potato filter is done by rendering at 0.25x resolution and adding some weak [8x8 dithering](https://github.com/hughsk/glsl-dither/blob/master/8x8.glsl). low res hdr render -> post process tonemap + vignette + glow + dither to RGB565 output (normal quality output is RGB10A2).

Halloween's Sacrifice by tjakka5 2018-12-23T10:52:38Z

meow meow motherfuckers

Few Word by PTSnoop 2018-12-30T20:18:58Z

try as i might, i could not get it to combine into the shape i needed.

i liked it though

Trojka by dikkop 2018-12-30T19:55:00Z

this is definitely one of the most polished games i've played this LD, great work

Let there bee sacrifices by Goplite 2018-12-23T07:07:58Z

i can't bee stopped

Sacrificium by Belonzik 2018-12-30T06:48:03Z

i had a really difficult time figuring out what all i could do and keeping track of everything, especially in time limit. graphics were very nice

Seppo VS Goblins by Feilkin 2018-12-30T06:04:48Z

that boss fight handed me my ass until i realized the winning strategy was standing right in his face to stab him

would play again

Meuhi the cow by Andzura 2018-12-23T07:58:37Z

i was disarmed

LD45 — Start with nothing

Farm McShooty by holo 2019-10-08T21:17:41Z

@blaster391 thanks a bunch! i tried to cut the gun lag down but something was causing really nasty jitter when i lowered it any further. need to work out an issue in the math to make it feel more responsive, but the good news is that it doesn't actually affect aim, just a visual thing.

the crop watering was planned to take much longer, i just completely ran out of time to balance the growth time vs rain frequency (i didn't even end up with time to finish the crop models! argh!) so i made sure it was short enough to make sure everything worked.

@robopossum thanks! it was really planned for two people to work on the whole time, but that didn't pan out. originally was supposed to have much longer crop cycles, weeds taking over your farm all the time, random asteroid impacts (this was coded, but depended on the weeds to finish)... and finished models.

@nachtwitch, @tarfield & @bramreth thanks!

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Clunky Ball by Karai17 2018-04-25T22:46:15Z

pushed a very small update to fix the retry option when timer runs out. too much playing fast near submission hour...

edit: also fixed endless scoreboard accumulation issue in results

edit 2: fixed every other small bug in the menus. pushed final update for the jam version of the game.

Clunky Ball by Karai17 2018-04-27T05:03:29Z

@drikdrok sure, we've released source for all our games. here's the source for this one, check out the same account for previous ones (this one is all haxe, but they were Lua before LD39)

https://github.com/excessive/ludum-dare-41

feel free to ask me questions on twitter (@shakesoda), telegram (@shakesoda) or irc (holo on afternet). using love this way is a bit involved, but it's not so bad! I have also previously made some basic demos here, although they aren't yet ported to love 11 (it's easier in love 11) https://github.com/excessive/love3d-demos

Draw Me Something by Yirggzmb 2018-04-26T09:18:31Z

finally a game where i can play as trogdor the burninator, defeating colorful combat knives and bananas.

this is what i always wanted

LD59 — Signal

So Scanulous by holo 2026-04-21T15:29:39Z

@rhookx thank you for playing and thanks for the feedback! i definitely agree about all of these points.

with the droning sounds i only had a few minutes left and was throwing in any sounds i could at that point, and i could swear the cursor was twice that size when i was working on it... maybe just a last-minute casualty, there?
