LUDUM DARE 41 SITE @ MFF UK
WHAT?
Ludum Dare is a competition in development of games, 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 Ludum dare brings together many people of various skills at 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 41 post specifically. Rules as summarized here Ludum Dare Rules.
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 41!
Our site is opened for everybody! Everyone who is interested in game development can come and join a group of people of a good-ol’-game-makers 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, LD40 in the past.

And we will have HTC Vive installed there accessible for free 😉 … Preview of Beat Saber available!
