Welcome to Ludum Dare 21!
Hi everybody!
It’s nearly time to kick off the latest, and what should be yet-again our biggest event yet: Ludum Dare 21.
Theme voting is well under way, with Round 4 closing soon, and Round 5 to follow with ~20 of the highest rated themes from Rounds 1-4. If you haven’t already, go cast your vote:
THEME: ESCAPE!
Hoping to avoid a repeat of April (15 minutes late ’cause I couldn’t flick the theme switch), we’ve since gone ahead and added a caching plugin to the website. Also this time, I’ll be checking the results early, before the swarm hits us.
And *NUDGE NUDGE WINK WINK*, IRC and Twitter will be getting the results FIRST!
On to the festivities!
Keynote DOUBLE FEATURE!
Headlining our 21st event with a keynote is Breakdance McFunkypants. Check out this fantastic combination of hip shades, mad-skilled infants, and puppetry:
Sos is back with more of what you love, YOU!
Declarations of intent intermixed with some fine LD game footage. Check it out:
A huge thanks to both Sos and McFunkypants for making such extravagant videos. You guys are the best!
That’s it from me. Stay tuned for your Final Round theme voting, and the event. Good luck!

Nice work sos + McFunkypants!
It’s okay, though. Not gonna make a big deal out of it or anything.
It’s here if anyone wants to see what it was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVc7gxW5Aeg
Hey did you link me your vid? Or did I miss out another one
Brilliant stuff!…
I was busy and never got around to making a video, but those were great. This is gonna be a fun weekend!
Awesome videos!
Excellent videos!!!
Ps: some of us are scary haha
I knew you would love me
No, just kidding.
Gawd I hate my voice.
I felt the same way… especially hearing my boring American accent with all those cool foreign accents in there!
Wish I’d been more creative in the video now
3:08 Woo! Me! Yay! If I watch myself one more time, I’ll throw up!
Great job McFunkypants, and nicely done, Sos, even though Draknek had two videos… No Fair!
Really wish I had a camera now
apologies again for the ridiculous length
Great job both of you.
See me do a guitar clip from Tales of Arthur – Flower of Knights at 13:39
My clip was followed by the text “you are the last survivor of your species”. Probably just a coincidence, but still..
That was great! great job to the both of you and to everyone else!
I think it would have been a better video if the high-pitched voice was omitted entirely.
Wow, we come off as a scary and nerdy lot, don’t we?
I’m seeing ‘you must be logged in to vote,’ which doesn’t make any sense because I left this comment…
Awesome Video(s)! This is one of my favorite keynotes so far.
I made a video, but I’m unsure if I properly submitted it through the site you guys provided.
Hey I made a post about this. I couldn’t reencode your video
totally ready !
Hah! I am silent
Volume on the MOV I submitted WAS a bit low…

Great keynote, Mr. McFunkyPants! And thanks to Sos for taking the trouble to compile all our beautiful faces, before they are reduced to haggard staring masks by the rigours of LD21…
Hehe. Makes me think that we should all record videos saying “I’m out” when we finally collapse from exhaustion at the end.
Just to reassure you all, I’ve since put clothes back on.
Loved the video, can’t wait.
I hope we all evolved enough already to pick the right theme, huh?
Yay! Midge the Wonder Dog made it!
Go Midge!
Now I have to put her in my game!
Susan
Great video! As a noob, the first one really helped
Wow, I’ve been doing these jams for years, and I still make NOOB MISTAKE every time.
