What is Ludum Dare (LDJAM)?
Ludum Dare (#LDJAM hashtag on twitter) is an online community best known the Accelerated Game Development Event of the same name (also called a “Game Jam”). During a Ludum Dare, developers from around the world spend a weekend creating games based on a theme suggested by the community. These events take place every April, August and December.
To keep track of the most inspiring and interesting screenshots on twitter, I keep a little series of blog posts with my personal favorites. Are you on twitter? Follow me :)
Best of #ScreenshotSaturday – the #LDJAM special Day 2 of week 50/2015
The Ludum Dare theme is: “2 Button controls” and “Growing”
Also have a look at the Ludum Dare Day 1 post.
