[gamecompo] Ludum Dare 19 – Final week of voting

Date: 2011.01.03 | Category: Syndicated Mailing List Posts | Author: Mike Kasprzak

Hey all,

I hope you all had a good holiday. This is just a reminder that
there’s just 1 week left to play and rate games entered in the
previous Ludum Dare competition. Every game you play and rate helps.

http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-19/

The individual voting pages are pretty good at giving us an even
spread of votes across all games. If you want to help us drill down
and increase the number of votes for some of the low voted games, you
can use this link to see how many votes each game has:

http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-19/?action=misc_links

Most games with 0’s are Jam games, but many Jam entrants would still
appreciate feedback and comments. Ideally, we’d like every competition
game to get at least 20 ratings, to make sure we get a good average.

Also, hdon released a very helpful greasemonkey script that improves
the formatting of that page, and even adds searching. You can check
that out here:

Hey everybody,

I’ve opened a new post on the Ludum Dare blog for people to start
coordinate local gatherings. To see where everyone is, we have a map
you can add yourself to. Please double-check the map to see if there
are enough people near you.

Ludum Dare 19 is coming up December 17th-20th weekend.

Hey everyone,

The October Challenge has ended, so I posted a little writeup. If you
made a game during October and didn’t finish, do check it out. I
started a list of incomplete games, so go add yourself.

In other news, Ludum Dare 19 will be December 17th-20th weekend. This

[gamecompo] MiniLD Host List Bump

Date: 2010.09.27 | Category: Syndicated Mailing List Posts | Author: Mike Kasprzak

Hi everybody,

Due to October becoming a crazy new event for us (The October
Challenge), I’ve gone ahead and bumped all the MiniLD hosts ahead 1
month. I figured it wouldn’t be fair to to Erik, October’s host, to
have to compete with the insane momentum this new October thing has
picked up.

The revised list can be found here:

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[gamecompo] PoV’s Challenge – Make a game, sell 1 copy this October!

Date: 2010.09.22 | Category: Syndicated Mailing List Posts | Author: Mike Kasprzak

Hello GameCompo list!

This is *sort of* Ludum Dare related, since it started in the IRC channel.

So during a silly IRC exchange, I decided to challenge our channel to
a race. Finish a game like you always do with Ludum Dare and other
Jams/Competitions. But! This time, bring it to a market and sell 1
copy.

If you’ve never done this before, it’s definitely too much to do in a
weekend… so how about a month? How about an October?

http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2010/09/22/povs-challenge-make-a-game-sell-1-copy/

We got such a good response in the channel, we figured, why not invite
everybody?

So ladies and gentlemen, it is on!

What are you doing this October? Let us know in the comments.
