Ludum Dare 41 //Tartu

Wed, 02 May 2018 09:08:58 +0000

54 jammers + 92 pizzas + 110 energy drinks = 13 games in one weekend!

This Ludum Dare theme was really interesting: Combine 2 Incompatible Genres. The theme produced the strangest games in any game jam we have hosted so far. Oddly enough, most of them related to dating.

And we got extremely lucky. We had a mentor with 20 years of game development with a massive amount of experience, Mika Tammenkoski.

We also did local voting and this time games got 400 votes (it was 250 last time). http://voting.aptgg.ee <== You can go and play all the games through this link and see the voting results. Winners of local voting were….

Ludum Dare 39

Fri, 11 Aug 2017 12:24:13 +0000

On the last weekend in July of 2017 we organized a local gathering for the Ludum Dare 39 game jam. Because of the unusual date (July instead of the planned August) we only had 13 jammers in 3 teams. All teams used Unity as the game engine and made 2D games.

Differently from the previous times we did not have a dedicated jury in LD39. Rather all the jammers and organizers played all the games and gave local ratings and feedback themselves.
