On the 21th to 24th of April we organized a local Ludum Dare 38 event in Tartu. There were 43 participants who made 9 great games! The teams used different game engines from Unity to Unreal Engine and GameMaker Studio. Whole lot of different self-made music was done for the games. Also varying art styles and techniques for used for the visuals. The theme for the Ludum Dare 38 was A Small World.
The teams were formed with help from Ruutu10 (Andres Kalle and Jürmo Mehine). On Friday’s night there was a presentation How to Ludum? by Raimond Tunnel. On Sunday there was a presentation How to Win the Game Jam? by Andres Kalle.
The event was organized with support from the Institute of Computer Science, Tartu Art School, Ruutu10, Futuruum, RCSnail, Olevus Art, IllOmen, Greenheart Games and Acode Games. Big thanks to all of them for helping us out and also offering different prizes for the jammers!
