ANNOUNCEMENT: I will stop running "scheduled" Ludum Dare events in 3 years! "Scheduled" is the key word though. My hope is that leaders within the community can build something better, more welcoming, that honors our legacy. They've got 3 years to figure it out. You even get to study me. 😋 #LDJam

I *DARE YOU* to make a BETTER LUDUM DARE! You have 3 years! Until then, we got 6 more events to run! LETS GO! PS: I chose the word "scheduled" for a reason. I will step in if needed, but I'd like to hang up my apron after we say goodbye in October 2028 (April 2029?). #LDJam Looong blog post here:

I don't have DMs on bsky atm because I'm not willing to send in my passport to age verify LD is the only consistent thing the last 14 years of my life. I don't want to see it die. I would take over the mantle of reluctant LD runner if the alternative is it ends. I want LD to live

I know there are people of questionable intentions in the community who would like to take over LD. I literally just want LD to continue. I would rather NOT. it's a tonne of work. I'd rather anyone else did it. but if you need someone reliable who cares about LD itself to keep it going, I am willing

I would also be on board to take on the responsibility for the LD as well, since I also have a pretty long history with the jam. If there's any chance we can keep it going, I would definitely be interesting in working to continue the LD.

Hey man, congrats on a thing that's been amazing for a long time. Congrats on defining and ending and a plan. Where the future takes everybody who knows. But it's cool that this has been a thing.

Challenge accepted! Thank you for all your years of hard work and dedication. I feel your proposal is absolutely fair. Actually, it's generous. I would love to create a comparable space and I am excited to learn from you in the coming couple of years
