I swear I die a little inside every time our entry (which is a very on-the-nose parody of dragon quest) gets comments on. "How much they liked my take on the undertale battle system" or comments on how it's "a 2d rpg like zelda!". I'm 37 but these comments are making me feel like I'm 200 years old O_x...

This past weekend I took part in with - great little game engine for game jams! Quite happy with how it ended up, but at some point I have to learn how to make game jam entries that I can expand and turn into something bigger. Still, making short arcade games is fun as hell!

Go have a look and rate it if you entered the jam:
ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53

Or just play it at
playmedusa.itch.io/icecream-va

(works on PC and mobile)

Second half of Alea Ludum Dare is a web page that will give you a random LD game.

No setup required, just go on the page, click on a button and enjoy a random game from the current Ludum Dare.
You can test it there : axelvborn.github.io/AleaLudumD

Overall, Alea Ludum Dare was a fun experiment with the LD API, adding new ways to access LD games with Random which I think would be nice to have in LD.

You can check Alea Ludum Dare on the LD website : ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53

I took part in @ludumdare last weekend and I ended up doing something a bit unusual and quite meta.

Ludum Dare means "to give a game" which relates heavily the theme Delivery, so I chose to explore how games are delivered in LD.

It ended up giving Alea Ludum Dare, a new way to get LD games.

First half of it is a browser extension that adds a new Sort Filter to the LD website : Alea.
Once picked, it will give you a random selection of games.

Wowee, I worked on a game for ! It's been a hot second since I've been part of a real game jam, but I'm very proud of the work my team did.

This was my first time writing a game for the and my first time truly working as a programmer on a project. Was way out of my wheelhouse, but we got something pretty good up and running. :)

Feel free to check it out, here's the page!

Another ludum dare down! (Teamed up with a friend of mine for the art again) Once again...planned WAY too much and spent a good portion of the time cutting everything back. Ended up making a fairly complex Dragon Quest 1 style game in C++/SDL2, ended up just being single file. One of these day's I'll actually scope right. But hey, it has some rough edges but it does play fairly well!
