Oh, ffs. Sorry for the TRIPLE post:
You can enter by (as I understand it) clicking the ‘write a post’ link at the top of the page. Set the category as mini #27 and voila!

PiedotTaste: I’m new here too, and very much in the same boat. From what I gather, Ludum Dare is a friendly and not overly competitive or formal competition – especially the ‘mini’ ones – so you (we) should be fine

Hello, I’m ridiculously new here, and I thought I could try my hand at MAYBE entering this mini LD… could somebody tell me what I should be doing to take part, sign up, etc?

Also, is it frowned upon to try and take part even if you’re not really sure you’ll be able to finish? I’m not exactly, er, fantastic at this stuff – but I enjoy it!

I thought people posted their ‘declaration of intent’ if you will, but nobody seems to have posted about this yet!

Ah, Design Document requireD before starting. Cool variation actually, it would completely overthrow my typical approach if I would enter. Normally I just make something and then see what it turned out to be. Maybe I should attempt it, but no promises yet. Tip to componites: Don’t make your goals overly ambitious. Put what HAS to be in there, not what you’d ideally LIKE to get in. More rewarding that way, and otherwise it would just be a normal infinite todo list.

Hang on a second…

This thing starts now?!

I thought I had another 12 hours to figure out what to actually do..

Oh well. It’s design-time, then

But first Food. then, /Design-time/.

C’monnnn! Announce theme already! (Too bad none of the D-isclosed themes fit my ideas at all :/)

My definition of getting things done; Have a legit title screen with instructions. (oh and a game-over screen, I’ve forgotten to let you die in way too many of these). And I fully intend to get these things done.

If the theme is descent I may just have to pull out D3SCENT again.

[...] level/control scheme will work for most players. This will probably be my next task, before the MiniLD hits this [...]

I really hope the theme is any of them listed above because I’ve come up with a game idea that encompasses them all.

I really hope it is “Descend.”

Ok, I watched the video on how to get things done faster. My shirt is traumatized for good.

I like the relaxed rules and the early theme hints… I usually don’t work fast and have a hard time finding gameplay ideas. I like to do things right and work slower than some. I might be able to do something this time!
