I made an entry for Ludum Dare 30 and I figured I'd share it with you all.

I decided I was going to make an RTS. It even has multiplayer over LAN (and possibly internet).
Anyone else compete?

Hey long time no see! I was wondering where you have been since you kinda vanished from Omni in the past few months. I'M gonna check this out soon. I play Starcraft II but I don't play other RTSes much.
-
It's definitely been a while. My activity may start picking up more soon once the semester starts for me. I tend to browse Omni more in between classes.
This entry is primarily a base building RTS. So it's closer to, say, Tiberian Sun than SCII. And it was made in 72 hours, so gameplay isn't nearly as refined. :P
-
So it could be ported entirely to the Atari 2600? :trollface:
Kidding aside, I might check it out anyway :P
-
Looks nice! I always intend to do Lundum Dare, but I keep not keeping up with it :P If you're interested in Java stuff, do you want to do a team entry on the next one?
-
They have a mailing list that's real convenient for keeping up with things.
I tend to go for the 48 hour individual competitions, so I can't do team entries. Also, most of the time when I make something in Java, it suffers slowdowns unless the code is real optimised.

Well, the issue is that if you mean mailing lists as in like the ticalc.org or Usenet ones, then those mailing lists are ancient and most people used to modern social networks and bulletin boards will most likely not follow such list unless they check their e-mail inbox every few hour or so >.<
