LD 39 has arrived & this will be Quill18's 18th consecutive entry!
NOTE: Due to real life commitments, Quill can only participate in this LD until Saturday night!

The competition officially begins when the THEME IS ANNOUNCED AT 9 PM EDT, JULY 28TH -- TONIGHT! Quill usually begins his livestream a little before the announcement - look for an event notification from this group, as well as social media posts from Essentia & Quill, when he goes live on Twitch -- soon!

If you've never seen one of Quill's Ludum Dare livestreams before, the LD Compo is a 48-hour game-programming competition held approximately every 4 months. Quill usually 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, short walks). Again, this time will be a little different.
