🎉 I found that if I prop it up just right, with a certain charger, I'm able to charge my laptop. Anyway, I made an #LDJam post. Letting it juice up some more before I edit other things for the event. Theme Suggestions open. ldjam.com

12 hours left... #Silksong

So uh, is anyone looking to hire a developer with an uncomfortable amount of knowledge about #atproto and #activitypub, experience building from scratch and running a social network (@ludumdare.com), hacking on GPU drivers/network protocols/the Linux kernel, plus a couple decades as a pro gamedev? 🤷

Check it out! @sarajs.games is playing your @gamemaker.io Ludum Dare games! #LDJam

If you still have one (🤢), go give this Tweet a like, and drop a comment @ Tim Sweeny daring or challenging him to make (fund) an "Epic" open source gaming Linux distro next. Everyone wins. 🐧 #EpicMegaOS

All your games are in and @sarajs.games is downloading them so that they’re ready for the stream on Twitch Sun, May 4th, 2025 (16:00 BST). Get a first look at a bunch of Ludum Dare games, and see what advice an expert developer gives them. 🔗 twitch.tv/sarajayess

PS: Results for Ludum Dare 57 are live (at last). #LDJam ldjam.com/events/ludum...

If there was an #LDJam award for integrity, it goes to Nine Lives Deep. 🏆

Apologies for the delay. @distraction.engineer is getting over their shock from what was discovered. Will share more another day. Results should be live within the hour.

Sincere apologies, but we wont be doing Live Results for Ludum Dare 57. We discovered some suspicious rating data we will be purging, but @distraction.engineer needs a bit more time to dump it for later analysis. 🚓 Stay tuned. All results should drop as scheduled, but TBD ldjam.com/events/ludum...

"Hey Google, what does 'Ludum the Dares' mean?" and other progressively worse interpretations of #LDJam lingo by Google Gemini.

Fun fact: 40% of Ludum Dare 57 users from the past 4 days connected to ldjam.com via IPv6!! 🤯 Of course that doesn't mean they don't have IPv4 addresses, or they don't have access to the internet via an IPv4 gateway, but IPv6 is the address that resolved first. Something to think about. #LDJam

71 hours have passed! The Ludum Dare 57 Jam ends in 1 hour! Keep working until the deadline! Submission hour begins then. #LDJam #LD57

GDC is cool, but it'd be neat if a queer gamedev conference in Canada got big too. Just saying'. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Neat feature: masking is required indoors. Does that make it a double safe space? 😷 bsky.app/profile/qgco...

YouTube has web games. www.youtube.com/playables If you could chat with YouTube as a #GameDev, what would want to know about YouTube Playables?

If all goes according to plan, I should be confirming that April's #LDJam event is back-on later in the week or early next. Much 💜 to everyone that contributed to my Patreon, sent money via PayPal, or reached out just to say hi. ☺️🛟 Confirming October will take a bit longer tho. Thank you all! 💜🕹️

The #LDJam and #GameDev community are the best. 💜 I had only started making my announcement that I was stepping away to "make money to pay scary bills", before the community stepped up to say "nah". 💜 ldjam.com/events/ludum... I'm not ready to say LD2025 is uncancelled, but things are optimistic.

Give me a bit more time to sort through everything (sponsorship offers, etc), but the people have spoken. 💜 #LDJam

Wow! We're up to 21 members on our #AOC leaderboard, and 18/21 have completed both days (nb. s0s joined a few hours ago, so give him some slack 😉). It's still early, plenty of time to catch-up, so hit the link below for details. Day 3's puzzle drops in ~6 hours. #AdventOfCode2024

Any #LDJam folks doing #AdventOfCode? Let us know, and join our leaderboard: ldjam.com/events/ludum...

Help request: I'm putting together a list of game engines on Bluesky. I've added the obvious ones so far (GM, Godot, Unity), but please let me know who else is here. List so far: bsky.app/profile/did:... #GameDev

Happy 25th birthday to @gamemaker.io! May your cake day be sweet, fluffy, and moist! 🍰🤤🎉 #GM25 #moist

Be kind 🫂! We're heartbroken alongside our fellow queers and friends around the world. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 It isn't much, but we can give you one thing in 2025 to look forward to. Mark your calendars! Ludum Dare 57: April 4th, 2025. We will get through this, together, one step at a time. 💜 #LDJam #LD57 #GameJam

Results for Ludum Dare 56 will begin soon! This is our first time posting them via a script, so we're running a few minutes behind. Keep an eye out below! #LDJam

In a few hours we'll be posting the TOP-15 results from Ludum Dare 56 on Bluesky, federating it to Mastodon, making it available as RSS, and cross posting to LinkedIn (for I dunno, getting jobs 'n stuff). #LDJam ldjam.com/events/ludum...
