LD 38 is upon us & it is the 15th Anniversary of Ludum Dare events!

The competition and fun officially begin when the THEME IS ANNOUNCED AT 9 PM EDT, APRIL 21ST -- TONIGHT! Quill usually begins his livestream a little before the announcement - an event notification from this group, as well as social media posts from Essentia & Quill, will go out when he goes live on Twitch.

If you've never seen one of Quill's Ludum Dare livestreams before, the LD Compo is a 48-hour game-programming competition held every 4 months. Quill typically streams MOST of the process, from Friday at 8:30ish pm Eastern Time to Sunday at 10ish pm Eastern Time - except for short breaks (sleep, snacks, walks around the block to clear his head).

• WHEN?
  Quill's Local Time & Date[free.timeanddate.com]
  In Twitch chat, you can use the !time command to see Quill's local time, and !nextstream for a GUESSTIMATE countdown to the start of the next streaming session -- NOTE that the only real weekend 'schedule' is Quill's sleep schedule and the compo deadline.
  
  
• WHAT & HOW?
  See the special LD chat commands (caps here for clarity, NOT required): !LDJam & !LDFAQ
  The LD section of Quill's FAQ[www.facebook.com] is also usually updated throughout the weekend.
