If there is anyone still on this forum, I want to give you a heads up on LD42 starting in a few weeks. I missed the Comp at syntaxbomb but I am absolutely looking forward to entering Ludum Dare again. The last one was a lot of fun even though my game did not do that well.

I just wanted to bring this back up for anyone interested. Ludum Dare 42 starts next friday. I will be entering again. It would be awesome to see more people from the BASIC community get in.

Maybe if I could get close to a demo I might think about it, is that the Demake Jam?

LD has different themes each time. It is pretty big. Thousands of people enter each time.

Well I did my voting on the themes, there are some pretty good ones, there are some so so ones also. I am genuinely excited, whatever I make will be absolutely horrible, I will try your advice and start from scratch. Friday is a wedding, so I will have Saturday and Sunday so I will hopefully get 4-5 hours total on it lol.

I made the my entire game last time in about 3 hours. It shows. But it can be done. Just don't expect to make God of War this weekend.
And I finished voting earlier today. I really don't like most of the themes they had. But the theme is generally always bad.

Lol. Not really. I think with the jam and pretty much anything in general the hardest part is just starting. I recommend only spending an hour on thinking of an idea that way you can spend most of the time actually making your game. As usual, you can ask if you need to but don't unless you are absolutely stumped. Try to figure it out on your own and you will learn alot more from it. Lastly, be creative. Games are more than code. They are art and entertainment. Sometimes us tech minded people forget that

If you are interesting in checking out my LD progress, I am planning on live streaming my development during the jam. I wanted to last jam but I didn't have my computer set up for it. And as I said, I will be starting completely from scratch so I will be struggling just like last time.

I am still at work but I saw the theme. The theme is running out of space.
This is going to be interesting.

Well I failed, got about 45 minutes in and I had to go, but I tried anyway lol. Was a poor weekend for me, but that's ok there are many game jams and I think I will jump into another for the sake of fun and learning.
