Ludum Dare is Latin for “to give a game.” It has been a long running competition in which people create and submit a running video game using only 48 or 72 hours to complete their design, graphics, and programming. I’ve wanted to compete for years but haven’t had time due to other obligations. Perhaps ironically, the creator of this  competition has recently had his own life events that have caused him to consider winding down this competition in October 2028. For that reason, this is a priority of mine as I always told myself that I would one day compete.

While I suspect that somebody else in the community will take up running a similar event, it would be nice to compete at least once officially.

Ludum Dare will officially end in October 2028
