Ludum Dare 30

Anyone planning on doing the LD30 compo or jam this weekend?

Cheers,

I’m going to attempt to do it, if I’m lucky I’ll at-least something that might resemble a game lol.

Edit; Than this happened… guess not anymore oh well

I am in :cool:

I´m also in (compo).

I’d love to! I am not sure how rules are for the compo, you have to share source code and I am not sure if it would be enough to only share my project files.

Should be ok if you only share the project files, i think i`ll only use blueprints so my “source code” is also only the UE4 project files.
If you use c++ you´d need to share your c++ source files (but only your own source files, NOT the UE4 source as thats available for everyone who pays the $19/Month).

The only problem i see would be if you modified things directly in the UE4 source, as you`d need to share that according to LD rules but are not allowed to according to the UE4 EULA.

I’m in for the LD30 Jam using UE4! :slight_smile: It’ll be interesting to see how the UE4 entries hold up to the usual Unity and/or 2D engines games.

Hello, i am not able, skilled enough (imho) to be in ludum dare yet but if someone wants some help for the new “team jam thing” i sign to help as much as i’ll can. Just say me if i have to register or what ^^

Really keen to see the games you create with UE4.

PS: If you tag your entries with UE4 then you will more easily be able to find each others work!

I’m going to be using Unity, I just find it faster for quick projects.

But will tag my game with Unity as it will be great to compare the results!

Good Luck!

Im in for the compo! My Ludum Dare 29 entry was in UE4 also, and that came out pretty well so its definitely possible to do. If anyone wants to check it out you can do so here. Ill try to rate all of the UE4 entries.

Good luck everyone! :smiley:

Start is 3am for me. I can’t decide if I should go to sleep early and start tomorrow morning or just pull an all-nighter on day 1 :slight_smile:

*edit: @Ad-man, looking forward to more UE4 competition :stuck_out_tongue:

oh well, i`ll try to get some sleep and start at 6am or so, better to start 3 hours late than get no sleep already the night before it starts :wink:

I’m planning to do LD30 probably will use Unreal this time.

I’m participating! :smiley: I’ve got a killer idea for the theme, using UE4 of course! I wish everyone luck and break a mouse or whatever you young whipper snappers say.

Yup I’m wrestling with UE 4.4 not creating code projects properly at the moment though :frowning:

For anyone interested there are a few of us in irc at irc.afternet.org #ldue4

Good morning everyone.

Just found out that notch is participating and streaming his progress using Dart! as language :stuck_out_tongue:

And I will finally get going…

I’m having a go in UE4, first time doing this, deciding whether to use Blueprints or C++…

I will probably make and WIP post tomorrow or on monday, but until then, my #LD30 day 1 final image:

Turns out building graphs and recursively traversing said graphs at run-time, via blueprint, might not be the best of ideas, who knew, right?
But it is probably just my dodgy implementation :stuck_out_tongue:

I´m done :slight_smile: Windows only for now, OSX will follow tomorrow.

Not quite as planned, and the Blueprints i created are a gigantic mess but i learned a lot :slight_smile:
