The Theme for Ludum Dare 59 is... Signal #LDJam
Chat conversation between 3 people in "The WARM Room". Illudumnati Hive says "after removing beta anomaly, and careful consideration by the system, we choose this". Ricky Nevah GGYU says "Banger choice loom" with a fire emoji. The active users says "Copy. Signal is go!"

Please give this game some love!! Due to an unfortunate incident, no ratings were recorded for this Ludum Dare 58 game. The issue has been since resolved, but regrettably this game still got stuck without a final rating. 🤦‍♂️ #LDJam ldjam.com/events/ludum...

We're proud of our small role in @teamcherry.bsky.social's lore, but more than anything we're just so extremely excited to play the sequel!!1 #HollowKnight #Silksong #LDJam
Screenshot of the game hungry knight, the jam game precursor to hollow knight, featuring the first appearance of the protagonistThe idea that prompted the creation of Hollow Knight originated in a game jam, Ludum Dare 2013, in which two of the game's developers, Ari Gibson and William Pellen, developed a game called Hungry Knight, whose main character's design eventually became the protagonist in Hollow Knight, kills bugs to stave off starvation.
