LUDUM DARE 40 SITE @ MFF UK

WHAT?

Ludum Dare is a competition in game development, especially computer ones. Anybody can sign up and compete for honor and fun. However, the competition is not important, what IS important is the fact that it brings many people of various skills together in the same time; an opportunity to meet new friends, acquire new skills, try out new ideas, be creative. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned game developer, Ludum Dare is for you. Details are available at the competition website Ludum Dare and Ludum Dare 40 post specifically.

As we (MFF UK) have a course on Practical Game Development, we are organizing at least one real game jam site every semester. So now, it’s Ludum Dare 40!

However, the site is opened for everybody! Everyone who is interested in game development can come and join a group of geeky people that will fight through the 48 hours to create a fun game. You can create a game alone or in a team. You can come with a team already formed or find teammates at the site!

Note that Ludum Dare is not limited to computer games, you can design board games as well!

We are seasoned organizers, we already run sites for LD32, LD34, LD35, LD37, LD38 in the past.

ORGANIZATION

The theme for the game jam will be announced 2.12.2017 03:00 AM so you might be wondering what will be happening on 1.12., right?

We are preparing a Unity/GameJam CrashCourse for all jammers where you can learn very basics of game development with Unity and setup your project in advance!

And we will have HTC Vive installed there accessible for free 😉

The site is available till 3.12.2017 10:00 PM.

There will also be an on-site play-testing sessions organized during the weekend!

We will be entering and leaving the building using the side entrance. You can find it inside the passage at the left side of the building (the same passage you would use to enter the restaurant Profesní dům). Again, call Jakub Gemrot at +420 724 508 170 when you arrive.

We will have Wi-Fi with internet connection prepared as well as a kettle, microwave and shower. You can sleep on the floor if you bring the necessary equipment.

Of course, bring anything you may need for game development (laptop, gamepads, joysticks, cell phones, pencils, papers, scissors, etc.) and also something to eat and drink!

The Compo (solo) deadline is 4.12.2017 03:00 AM while The Jam (teams) deadline is 5.12.2017 03:00 AM. We kindly ask all teams to secure another place for Monday and Tuesday if you wish to continue working on your game after the site closes.
