Hello guys,<\/p>\n

We’re in again, this is our 5th Ludum Dare and will hopefully be our best yet.
\n We have had some good ones and bad ones in the past, so i’ll go through them:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LD24: “Vortex<\/strong>“, this was a reasonable effort, finished making two levels and did audio and decent game mechanics and graphics.<\/p>\n

LD25: “Bandits<\/strong>“, this didn’t go well, at all. After spending close to 15 hours trying to implement our first ever try at a path-finding algorithm, we gave up and submitted a non complete game. There was decent graphics though.<\/p>\n

LD26: “Adventures !inColour<\/strong>“, we actually finished a game to the end this time, although the game was fairly repetitive and a bit boring. It did alright.<\/p>\n

LD27: “The Compass<\/strong>“, our best effort yet, this game had decent graphics, decent music, in our minds a great story and not too many bugs. It was good fun to make and didn’t do too bad on the charts either.<\/p>\n

LD28: Who knows<\/strong>. We’ll find out over the next few days…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyway, enough rambling about the past and lets get to the present…<\/p>\n

We will be writing in java as usual, using the inbuilt graphics API.
\n No libraries or base code, just plain java :).<\/p>\n
