So all you'll need is JAVA to run this. This works on Windows\/Mac. Make sure you turn on the speakers, there are some eerie sounds.\r\n\r\nUPDATE: Enhanced post compo version added. I mainly fixed up some visual things and few glitches. More content will be added later.\r\n\r\nI'll be porting this over to Android!\r\n\r\nTools used:\r\n- GIMP for all graphics\r\n- REAPER.FM for audio\r\n- LIBGDX as a graphics framework\r\n- ECLIPSE IDE<\/p>","title":"Still Dreaming"}
