Quick shoutout since I've had quite a bit of fun with "wiz", a "one-dimensional magic" shooter by @torcado made for Ludum Dare 55: https://torcado.itch.io/wiz

You move to the left or right, charging up a spell the longer you keep moving in one direction, resulting in higher damage and bigger area of effect. However, if an enemy bullet hits anywhere along your trajectory, that will break the spell and damage you. Really neat risk vs. reward that's easy to learn, but hard to master.

Wrote up a post-mortem for my recent #LudumDare entry, From Hell's Heart.

TLDR; I didn't do very well, but participating gave me a big boost of enthusiasm for #GameDev and I'm back working on Just a Robot!

My game pentamania placed 148/462 in Ludum Dare 55.

My goals were:
- 3D ❌
- Unique mechanics ✅
- Music ✅
- Fun ✅

In particular I was anxious to improve my 'FUN' score. In the end I got 131st (3.568), which is a good bit better than my prior entries :)

I was happy enough with the game that I'm working on a small post jam.

Decided to write up a postmortem for ludum dare. Was nice to look back and reflect on the project 😄 So thankful for all the wonderful feedback I've received in the rating period, super motivating

So @ludumdare @mike any idea why I can't have links in my posts?

I created the account around the time the new website launched, have several posted games and other posts (with likes and comments), so I'd assume I shouldn't be tagged as suspicious?

#ludumdare55 done! not sure it really came together in the end, but there's still a lot I really like about it!

Went a bit awry in the last couple of hours, but I submitted my #LdJam game on time, I was kinda upset because the aspect was all wrong in the build version and the UI was offscreen!! Arrgh!

So I made a fresh build, in the correct aspect and updated the file, late.
It was better than crying over it being all wrong after all that.

Anyway, still learning. It's only my second game, and I did some things similarly to the first game, and some things very differently.
So happy enough.

#LDJam is over! between recovering from the flu and lacking sleep I didn't get much extra time to talk about it at all 😭

but the time that I do spent on coding, balancing, thanking my friends for their beautiful assets was super worth it! I can't be more proud with the result!

check out our game #NightlifeNecromancer here (note: contains mature themes, cozy gameplay)
