I Made a Summoning Game in UNDER 48 HOURS | Ludum Dare 55

Hey guys, I recently (like 3 weeks ago) took part in Ludum Dare 55 and had to make a game themed around 'Summoning'. In this video I'll showcase my entry as well as the crazily rushed process of creating it in under 48 hours. Hopefully you can take something away from this (not to enter game jams), but anyway - enjoy! 🤣
🎮 If you'd like to play the game:
ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/5...
📝 Sidenote on that:
The voting period for the jam is over, so no feedback left on the site is actually counted (since I left the video so late), however comments are still welcome.

Well done, growing legend

[@dark_spark4957]

cool video you deserve great success

[@suslamo]

Hey! Nice work! What tool are you using for planning at the beginning of the video?

[@TheByteBard1]

Looks incredible

[@DylanDev14]

Love your vids! Question though, I like making my own devlogs, and was wondering, do you write and use a script? Also any tips to get devlogs out faster? Anyway great vid, hopefully I myself can compete in a game jam someday!

[@sigmoiddev]

Yeah, everything is scripted - I tend to have a rough idea for an intro or specific scene, then write the rest of the script around that.
I'll start with the recording, then add in all of the appropriate video clips and filler gifs. Once that's done I add whatever music/SFX are needed.
If I had any tips for how to get devlogs out faster I'd be using them myself! 🤣

[@DylanDev14]

@@sigmoiddev Thanks man, you’re a big inspiration for me!

[@IlMaz3]

That seems like a really great game! Keep it up, I'm surely trying it. Just a curiosity: is there any way to know the application you are using for writing down the ideas?

[@sigmoiddev]

Yeah all of my software is in the description
