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/55/elementary-evocatio…
📝 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.

Why did you name your channel SigmoidDev?
@DylanDev14 2 months ago

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!

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?
