Ludum Dare, Gamejolt, and One game a month.
written May 2nd, 2013 by Joe Pierce
Hello all! It’s been some time again, hasn’t it? Let’s take care of a little bit of housekeeping.
Nate and I recently closed the book on a Ludum Dare jam project, I DIED, which you can go ahead and check out right here. (I’ll wait!) It was a fun ride, and the first Ludum Dare I’ve ever personally participated in. Not sure why it has taken me so long to get in on the fun, but oh well! The game will be going up here on the site at a later date, once we have time to refine it and add some additional content.
That said, I DIED also marks our 4th game completed for one game a month! (Here’s to 8 more!) If you don’t count our April fools joke from last month, I DIED is also the first wholly original game created for the year long event. Both ViViD and Cylor were older games that needed significant updating (or outright completing). With a 3rd of 2013 over, we’d like to try doing a little less updating and a little more with new ideas. But, that said, it’s also probably a safe bet that we’ll do something with at least one more old project sometime this year.
Gamejolt, really, seems like a much better excuse for us to go back and file the sharp edges off our older projects though. Getting our stuff in front of fresh new eyes has been very cathartic, with the response to ViViD being particularly crazy. While the numbers are nothing super remarkable, just seeing so many enthusiastic strangers give our game a try and produce let’s plays has made us quite giddy. You’ve made us happy old men, internet, and all it took was you talking in front of footage from our 2010 drug trip. Thank you.
More and more will be making their way to Gamejolt with updates, so stay tuned. For now though, I should probably get back to work on other things. We’ll have some more news for you guys sometime next week. Until next time, everyone!

We’ve just put up a new version of Block Dude X! While it contains a few minor changes and fixes and some performance improvements, the big deal about this is that it’s now available on Mac OS X!
