LudumDare 22 is upon us!
Only about 4 days left to get prepared (set-up your toolchain, adjust your monitor for the live footage watching others, go outside, whatever...).
The official date is the 16th of December (through the 19th of December) - at some time, better look it up at the above page.
BUT WAIT! What's that actually?
Well LudumDare (or LD48 for short) is a coding competition, mostly aimed at yourself - which means there are no prizes for the winner, you get the game you made (and a lot of internet fame), it's about finding out how creative you can be in 48 hours.
48 hours, that's the time-limit you have for creating your game (all of it! art, code and music) and you are on your own - this is a solo competition.
To make things more interesting/harder/uniform there also is a theme forced on you, which is currently voted on.
Additionally, there are a few other rules, too, better look them up yourself (you are allowed to use libraries or certain tools, though).
So, game developers, put your game development hat on! (And gamers, you might want to check out some of these streams).
Also, if you are saying, meh ...
48 hours? that's not enough time!
I have to open source my game? I don't like sharing my privates with the public!
Solo competition? I want to bring friends!
A dammed theme? I want to do whatever I want!
They even got something for you: The LudumDare JAM
Rules are a bit less strict and you have 72 hours (still not much, don't underestimate that or overestimate yourself!)
Though this won't make you as famous as participating in the competition.
Rules are also on this page, you should read them in any case.
To give you an impression of what to expect, here are the 21st entires (there is a LD every few months).
Anyway, who is in? who is watching? who did I get interested?
Maybe we can get some Pandora dev talk going on here.
