The Ludum Dare event , regularly held 2 times a year (and a little earlier 3 times a year) is just around the corner and now, a few weeks before the start, you can tune in the right way, exchange plans and ideas for the upcoming 46th LD ( the official date on the site is April 18-21, 2020, start at 4-00 Moscow time). In this article, I would like to share my thoughts on what it takes to take these couple of weeks to go out to jam with super motivated, productive, and charged ideas.
