Ludum Dare 42 took place just over a week ago. I’ve been on quite a roll regarding game development over the past few months, having already participated in two game jams and created a total of three games this year, so I was determined to once again get involved.

As game jams go, it’s pretty long, and by far the longest game jam I’ve ever participated in (the previous longest being Mini […]
