A fitting close the fifth year of of the compo.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t seen it yet, the results can be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/category\/ld10\/?compo_limit=52\">found here<\/a>.  Final entries can be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/category\/ld10\/?tag=final+final&amp;mythumb_nav=1\">found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as much as we\u2019d love everyone to idle with us in #ludumdare until April, we understand this isn\u2019t practical for everyone.  So, in addition, we have a mailing list at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamecompo.com\">gamecompo.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To subscribe, e-mail: <a href=\"mailto:gamecompo-subscribe@sykhronics.com\">gamecompo-subscribe@sykhronics.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To unsubscribe,  e-mail: <a href=\"mailto:gamecompo-unsubscribe@sykhronics.com\">gamecompo-unsubscribe@sykhronics.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And when in doubt, hit up <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\">ludumdare.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2013 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Now, unlike prior years, we\u2019ve tried to make it clear that the next compo will be in April.  Anyone that\u2019s stayed up with our shenanigans will know April is our magic month, the anniversary of the first Ludum Dare compo (the original 24 hour compo in 2002).  If there\u2019s one tradition we\u2019ve kept over the years, it\u2019s been holding a compo in April.  Be it organized a month in advance, or pulled together last minute.<\/p>\n<p>So the first order of business is to pick a weekend in April to hold the compo.  I\u2019m not looking for suggestions per se, but reasons to include or exclude a specific day.  Our options include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>April 4th-6th Weekend<\/li>\n<li>April 11th-13th Weekend<\/li>\n<li>April 18th-20th Weekend<\/li>\n<li>April 25th-27th Weekend<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ideally, we like to plan around such things as Game Industry events (GDC, E3, Game Connection, etc), Exam season (we love you students), national holidays, or any such event that either hinders or benefits the majorities chance to participate.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2013 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>And in final, if you have any comments, suggestions or feedback for us, please do share them.  Ludum Dare is and has always been about the community.  Without you all, we\u2019d just be an IRC channel. <img alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Thanks again everyone, and have a great 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/compo\/\" rel=\"tag\">compo<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/ld11\/\" rel=\"tag\">LD #11 - Minimalist - 2008<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/planning\/\" rel=\"tag\">Planning<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 31st, 2007 3:36 am","title":"Ludum Dare #11 \u2013 April 2008"}
