You just need to log into your NSA Cyber Remote Analyst Portal (CRAP) which is a Windows GOV edition thin client, and start ... hacking in SQL :) http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=…

Multiplayer games are so hard to get to work in LD where players arrive sporadically :(

I had a similar silence for attempt a few LDs back:

Hey I remember that game. I was able to get a dozen or so people to log in at the same time towards the end of the competition, but I don't expect more of that during voting. (Also I can't seem to keep the server up)

Placeholder - A game about defending a place.

The focus was largely on gameplay and balance, and the result is a decently balanced tower-defense like game. We tried some very new ideas in this genre, and it turns out they create a completely different style of play. Overall very happy with the end result.
