Ludum Dare 44

27-30 April
In these days a prestigious Ludum Dare Game Jam will take place! I hope I would join in and it would be then my first LD I’m waiting for other Defold developers to join too!
So, I thought it would be nice to have a thread on our forum!
As I can see on the ldjam.com there is a theme: Slaughter Round, is it confirmed?

That is not the theme. The theme will be announced when the jam starts. There’s a long list of themes and it will be reduced (slaughtered, silly name) via voting. You can login and vote on your favourite themes.

Thanks for an explanation!

I’m planning to participate too.

After trying to make a game consecutively for two jams and failing, it looks like I have got a jamophobia. I am unsure whether I will participate in this jam or not

Ludum Dare is tough since it’s a fairly short jam (2 or 3 days). You need to be very focused and efficient. I would recommend week long jams such as the Weekly Game Jam. Reduce the scope to something really small and simple so that you’re almost sure to finish and then add to it if you have time.
