Quill18 should actually develop a game outside of Ludum Dare. Imagine what he could accomplish if he had no time limit.

A very worthwhile video with lots of great info, thanks!

I'd add the following: Github Pages is an excellent solution for hosting stuff like LD entries - it allows viewable html pages, static assets (e.g. images, javascript, zip downloads) and because it's on github you can easily make the source code for the game available too.

Phew! I thought you won't make another pre-Ludum video (which insipired me to participate in the first place) but we got even more - a guide/briefing with some really fancy slides. Nice!

[BrinkHouse]

It’s always a challenge for me when I participate in LD not to get distracted by Quill’s stream, I expect this one to be no different!

If one Ludum Dare is called a "jam", why oh why isn't the other one called a "compot"

another great place to upload your game is gamejolt, really easy to set it up, and allows for future iterations

Good video!
Tip for future viewers: watch the video in 1.25x speed to save time.

Tub of war remind me overboard on PSX/PS1, great job by the way ;)

Wasn't the abandonned race game with Ludum Dare 37?
When you made the pinball game?

[BenPearson_kduiy]

Didn't the remote control car end up being the Kitchen Pinball?

[Tutterzoid]

Wow! Awesome info to keep in mind when creating a Game in general :)

9:55 Whoa, is this video from the FUTURE? April next year?

Fwiw, "the perfect is the enemy of the good" is the English translation of a quote by Voltaire :)

[AdonisDoes]

Hoping to do LD in August. Wish me luck 🙏

[BoegiTube]

This is my preparation video for the upcoming weekend! Hopefully I do not lose my focus on day 2 like I did last time ;-( Wish everybody a good coding session and nice games!

[xXxCoNoRxXxDeVxXx]

[oAcrobato]
