Ludum Dare is a regular accelerated game development Event. Participants develop games from scratch in a weekend, based on a theme suggested by community. Ludum Dare was founded by Geoff Howland, and held it’s first competition in April of 2002. The event attracts developers from all sides of the industry. Students, hobbyists, industry professionals from many well respected game studios, as well as many independent game developers.
The Compo is the “make a game in 48 hours solo competition” that Ludum Dare is known for. After the competition ends, participants are given 3 weeks to play and rate games created by their peers. After those 3 weeks, winners are announced.
The Jam is the new “relaxed” Ludum Dare. Games can be made in a team, borrow assets from developer’s other projects. Up to 72 hours to submit an entry.
Hi Firesword,
I’m probably asking a really stupid question here but whats the difference between this pack and the previous one ? Your description for both seem to be the same. Apologies again if I’m missing something obvious but it’s late here in the UK 🙂
One is the top 50 from the main competition (only 48 hours to make the game), the other is the Jam a more “relaxed” version where developers may use more time (up to 72 hours) to complete the game.
I’ve downloaded both just in case 🙂
Thanks again.
Well done.. 😆
I just knew it would be a stupid question… doh !!
Anyway, thanks for being patient enough to answer it… officially time I went to bed… 🙂
Don’t worry.. no problem. Hopefully there will be some good game to play inside the packs..
Also don’t forget that at the official site there are over 1300 entries… 😆
