Ludum Dare Compo

By: Tim

On: January 21st, 2007

A new Ludum Dare compo is set to happen soon (Jan 26 to 28th), with active discussions to be held in the competition IRC channel #ludumdare on irc.afternet.org.

An accompanying wiki page should be up shortly. The theme will be nominated and voted on Jan 26th. More info posted here .

Previous competition entry Galcon has since graduated into a full-fledged indie game, but toosh is still the champion of Swarm Racer.

Stupid question but what’s the origin of the name ludum dare?
PoV

Latin. Ludum boils down to something to do with games, and dare… well, dare has some odd meanings.
DrPetter

I believe it means something along the lines of “giving games away for free”, though in a cryptic way…

Anyway, this instance of the thing isn’t going to be a full traditional compo but rather a 24 hour warmup run to keep us from getting too bored while waiting for the next proper one.

Wish we could find some proper brits.
