Reply to Competition: make a D-Mod from scratch in 48h?
If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
Ludum Dare is a competition where talented game authors try and make a complete game from scratch in 48h.
Seth regularly participated at this event, and I myself attempted something at the training event last week.
Over time the rules relaxed the "from scratch" part, so instead of rewriting all your base code each time, you're now allowed to use about any game making libraries and software! GameMaker for instance is regularly used by competitors.
Does this include Dink? Maybe not if you reuse the base graphics and sounds, but certainly if you do your own!
(you can also participate in the even more relaxed "Jam" event, but there's no votes and hence no winners there - and it's lame
)
If you've been working on a DMod for months (years) but never got to release it, this is an excellent training to improve your finishing skills (did you read the finishing a game article by the way?).
The next Ludumdare is in 2 weeks. Who's in?
