Final Round Voting!
If you haven’t yet, go here and cast your vote for the final theme:
For a complete list of theme voting results, go here. If you haven’t yet watched the keynote, GO HERE. Seriously, check it out, it’s great.
Theme Announcement
The theme will be announced once the clock above hits zero. The website tends to gets hammered at the start time, and we can’t get the theme results if we can’t visit the site ourselves! So instead of refreshing the ludumdare.com/compo/ website constantly, we recommend checking one of the following places for the theme:
irc.afternet.org in #LudumDare
Historically, IRC gets the theme first, so if you want it soonest you should go there. Twitter and the hub page should get it next, followed by the website and the mailing list. Traffic should lighten up within 5 minutes, so feel free to come back and start blogging. Hopefully we can avoid bringing the server to it’s knees this time. Thanks everyone!
So it’s a girl game? Hurray!
And do remember that missing the theme for a couple hours doesn’t really matter. The theme will be announced at around 5am Finnish time, and I don’t recommend any finns should wake up at that hour.
Rest well, you’ll have time to get tired.
I hope that “It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this!” does not win. How stupid for a video game quote to win a contest made for people who love games… It’s not special in any way.
I wish I had suggested “Royal Wedding” now, as I have an insane craving to make a co-op shooter where you control Will & Kate.
Girl Games is the “extra” theme we included, but I agree it would have been a lot more satisfying to see “Royal Wedding” with negative lots-of-votes.
Colossal will have a colossal number of votes !!
Colossal sound nice, but i would preffer soemthing like Anachronism or Climbing to win.. loads of variety! ^^
Climbing -as interesting as it is- has been abused since Prince of Persia, so I would prefer something else.
Illusion sounds like it would be a fun theme, IMO.
No love for broken physics? There’s actually a lot of gameplay hiding in that one!
Haha, twitter is acting up right now. Oh great!
I’m rooting for TRAPS and GIRL GAME
Deal with it
‘TRAPS’
‘GIRL GAME’
I’m envisioning a relationship argument simulator, sort of like a mix between a text adventure and the metagame where the player has to help Vyse make the right decisions in Skies Of Arcadia.
If we get ‘Girl Game’, I might run with my original ‘Sexuality’ idea of having the protagonist being a guy trying to convince a girl to go all the way, and the girl assigning increasingly difficult (and zany!) feats of strength and skill by which he has to prove his worthiness.
I’m rooting for Colony or Isolation. I think they’re interesting.
