Every JAM GAME I've ever made (part 1)

A retrospective look at every jam game I've made for Ludum Dare from 2014 to 2023. Starting with the 8 games I made in the "before times" before the LD site upgraded to LDJam.com. These games were all made in either 48 or 72 hours, entirely from scratch. All code, art, music etc was made in that time frame by me. Part 2 coming next week with the other 11 games and a potential Part 3 covering the handful of non-LD jam games I've made.
0:25 - Planestroller

2:38 - Was it Something I said?
3:14 - Life is Short

5:33 - 1995

WHAT?! Life is Short is such a great idea to become a amazing rpg + sim comercial game. I would really buy this if it become a complete game.

[@frogringtone]

you are a huge inspiration!

[@jack5590]

Great collection.

[@ikonhero]

Wow, some of your game concepts are really innovative!!

[@JustHackingAround]

Programming aside, it amazes me how much thought and creativity is put into each game you make Shaun.

[@DriftyG]

Great job over the years.

[@pancewarrior]

All these games look so cool I am still working on my first RPG game by following your tutorials, I'm happy I began to understand game maker better after practicing consistently thank you for all the tutorials!!!

[@Shorkiedokey]

Awesome stuff, would love to see more.

[@SuperSalts]

Love the recap, and looking forward to part 2. May have to go check out that "Is it something I said" game because it sounds like a very nice concept.

[@brainfreeze10]

Great vid, can't wait for part 2

[@enahsg]

Cool video. It actually gave me some inspiration on a game to make. I've been trying projects that are too big, so I will scale it down like some of your early projects. Thanks.

That's a nice collection of jam games, Shaun!

I want to learn but I got stuck in the Zelda style RPG tutorial

[@Pokemon-Master]

Hi shaun!

[@iiiDartsiii]

It's very important to know that sometimes making a game will feel boring but in fact it could be more fun for other people playing than for the one making it.
