This will be our 3rd year in a row showing local Lousiville games at the Louisville Arcade Expo, be a part of it by submitting your project! If selected, you will be able to show your game for free and get play-testers which are an invaluable resource in improving your game.
Check out all of the games our local community in Louisville created for Ludum Dare 37! Ludum Dare is a global game jam where people from around the world form teams and create brand new games in 48hours!
4.5 is a memory game. You are trapped within a small room repeating itself, each time adding a new item. Remember the item, or return to the beginning. Aside from the room itself, all the 3D assets were free ones from Unity's public store. Controlled with a mouse and keyboard.Created by Sena Bryer @senabryerKnown bugs:-can cause certain versions of Linux to crash (tested with Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon)Stuff I'd like to add were I to continue this:-getting a web browser build up and running (assuming the filesize isn't simply too huge)-making my own assets for it, or at least just getting a whole bunch more-adding random elements to it to switch the room up instead of having the same one every time-adding actual hallways to walk through instead of just simple blackout transitions
Working but unfinished.Assets take a moment to load, give the black screen a few seconds.Two roommates are locked in their one-room apartment. One likes music and if you place a disco-ball, radio, or TV in the room and they touch it, they will turn it on. The other one will turn it off. Drag and drop beds in the room so they can sleep. Other interactions weren't completed in time for the jam, but the idea is that roommates would have varied preferences: early sleepers would dislike night music, party animals would interfere with calm roommates. Fights over the lone toilet, food in the fridge, pets, etc. would cause roommates to be happy, unhappy, fight and, if things go poorly, die.Music EXCEPT the TV routine are all custom.Team: LilacLlama, ChipMonkey, ParisTurtle, Hyteck9, (and sort of UlrichVonBeck). Shout out to @GameDevLou
Battle DADS is a 4 player "dont fall off the level" party-style deathmatch game. Knock off the other players to get points. The game by default has bots active.- Press F2 to turn off AI to play with 3 other people on controllers- CONTROLS:- RT or LMB to charge lasers.- LT or RMB to shoot machine gun.- A or BUMPERS or SPACE to shield. Created by Isaac Baldwin (IndieKeep) and Ben James (Peach Pie Productions)from Louisville KY
What happens when your cat-allergic parents drop in and you gotta tidy up quick?It's CLEANSTALKERS: HIDDEN AGENDA!Game is incomplete. First time using Phaser js. It wasn't as helpful as I thought (had to do my own ECS), but its Signals library was nice. Try tapping on various objects to open and close them. No audio.Read the rest of the dialog script here: http://cooperra.com/ld37-cleanstalkers/dialog/LudumDare37.txtSee the unused assets here: https://github.com/cooperra/ld37-cleanstalkers/tree/master/assetsArt by Darren VogtProgramming by Robbie CooperThanks for checkin' out our entry!
A game about an insecure snail learning about life and home from forest friends.Some people have had issues in chrome, if you do please try downloading for Win/Mac/Linux or try running the web game in Firefox. -Thanks!
Home Is Where The Heart is a weird little dating game. You show up unexpected in a homeless land. You must earn the trust of the 3 villagers and have them move inside of you. Make the right choices and do the tasks they ask and you can make everyone happy. wasd to move and space bar is to interact with characters and objectsAllen-Michael Brower - ProgrammingJosh Grilli - Art/AnimationBen Wiley- Music
Junk in the Bunk is a game where you play the role of a doomdsay prepper that has just finished his bunker. Unfortunately, a meteor is already on its way, and you have to rush to fill your bunker with the supplies you want with you through the end of the world!Rush to store your supplies in the bunker before the end comes!!**Unfortunately, you had just moved in, so there aren't a lot of stuffs in the house for you to put into storage. That, or maybe it's because we ran out of precious time to create more artwork. There seems to be a small bug with initiating walking up and down the stairs mechanic on the web version. We'd recommend you download it. **Controls: MOVE: Arrows or WASD ACTION: Space or FZOOM: ZTeam:Art - Loi LeMix - @loilemixSound & Music - Nathan Hutchens - @lucidbardProgramming - Barry Rowe - @barryroweBuild with libGDX, Ashley ECS, and our own Kitten2d extensions for Ashley.Built with 30 other developers at Warp Zone Louisville with Louisville Makes Games.
In Mean Streets, you're a kid dropping water balloons from your window on people passing by. You have 30 seconds and 10 balloons to get as many points as you can. I ran out of time before I could add any other characters (including people you have to avoid hitting) or finish the animations, but it's playable. :)CONTROLS:Move: arrows or A and DToss Water Balloon: spacebar
We did not finish the idea. The game starts in the cockpit of a one room spaceship. The player can walk around with WASD or the arrow keys. The idea in this room was to have the player upgrade the ship and move to the controls to move to the shooter scene but for now the two scenes are toggled using the "K" key.The next scene is a side scrolling bullet hell shooter. WASD or arrow keys will move the ship around the screen. Space shoots, and Enter changes weapons.

– J Luke, Julian Sterling Oh no! Everyone has worn the same costume to the Halloween dance! You’ll need to figure out which one you are, and then get the candy. Good luck!
– David Colgan, Dain Van Epps, Andrew Neel You wake up, tired as always. You have to get to work, as always. But underneath your normal life there lurks some uncertainty. You have to decide how to proceed. Choose wisely in this binary text-based adventure story. Remember, people are counting on you.
– Allen-Michael Brower, Jeffrey Green, Josh Grilli, Noah Park Have you ever really needed to make some quick cash but had to do something downright terrible to get it? How about breaking into the homes of the residents of Monstervale? No you’re not robbing them, but actually bagging yourself some real monsters. There’s a high price being paid for their skulls and there’s no better opportunity then right here right now. What will you do with the money? Only time will tell. This is your chance to live the life of a terrible kid who lives down the street, are you a rude enough kid? Let the bodies hit the floor and put your power wheel in overdrive.
– Ashley Revlett Monster Lab is a simple incremental game, with pixel graphics. You are a scientist who must care for monsters while experimenting upon them… for science! The sadistic cruelty that’s required to perform these experiments makes you wonder – who’s the real monster in this situation?
– Ben James Monster Simulator 2015 aims to bring you the most up-to-date and realistic monster experience possible! Need to get your fill of senseless violence and unnecessary gore, then accept no substitute!!
– Barry Rowe, Loi LeMix As a monster, destruction doesn’t always come naturally. So in the 80s, it became popular for young monsters to learn the proper destruction techniques through the power of dance. Many a morning were spent by young monsters watching the proper techniques to destroy. You must make sure you provide a great show to teach the next generation how to become the best monster they can be.
– David Jokinen You are in charge of a space drug lab. Spot and get rid of fires and leave on a pod when you get enough cash. But the space station is crappy and fires randomly break out and doors randomly open. Also you need to keep track of the oxygen levels. Too much oxygen and fire spread faster. Too little and you will die. Remember to charge you fire extinguisher when it empties. Also note you lose money when a person dies but you gain money if you collect the remains.
– Alex Bezuska, Chris Kincaid, Eric Lathrop Congratulations on your new job, citizen! You must report for duty on Monday to office #74 to distribute vital medication to our workforce.
– Clay Morten, Frank Moussette, Rex Soriano,
Tiffani Stuart You wake up one day and realize that you are a giant old man. Fed up with you’re reality you decide to go on a rampage, Tearing down the city that allowed it all to come to this.

20 local developers from southern Indiana, Lexington, and our own Louisville based GameDevLou crew showed off their latest work to a big crowd at Zanzabar in louisville.
Zanzabar is a great spot here in Louisville that is known for having a multitude of awesome retro arcade cabinets and pinball machines.

So this early morning (and I do mean early… 4:45am!) some of us from GameDevLou had the pleasure of hanging out with Nathan & Amy Fouts of Mommy’s Best Games to be on a morning TV spot for their new game Finger Derpy! We all met at Zanzabar (where the #ChompTheBit event will be friday!) with Keith Kaiser and Eric from WDRB Fox 41 news. The shooting process for a live morning show was an interesting experience, it took place in small spurts that were sprinkled into the morning show live.
I (Alex) had the awesome opportunity to show off Stanley Squeaks and the Emerald Burrito, which is the Two Scoop Games entry for #ChompTheBit. I had no idea what to say, and nothing was rehearsed, but I think everyone did well and got across what we were trying to convey.
There are two videos up on the WDRB website now, so check them out here: VIDEOS HERE!
