We received lots of messages saying that people can\u2019t play right now, because they have no one around to try it with.*<\/p>\n<p>Well, no more excuses!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=26426\"><img alt=\"GridCars\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-425803\" height=\"140\" src=\"\/data\/posts\/2014\/12\/4dbd9ca19217d544559f054136e551ac.gif\" width=\"180\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We have a dedicated server up and running.**<\/p>\n<p>Join it by entering <strong><em>germanunkol.de<\/em><\/strong> as the IP address.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We will be online from 8:30 pm (now) until around 10 pm<\/strong>, UTC + 1 ***<\/p>\n<p>The server will be left open afterwards, so go and join it!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screenshot-from-2014-12-11-155756.png\"><img alt=\"Screenshot from 2014-12-11 15:57:56\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-425811\" height=\"248\" src=\"\/data\/posts\/2014\/12\/1bcf0ad8ee8f1259905d704541a96286.png\" width=\"300\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-31\/?action=preview&amp;uid=26426\">Click here for more infos, downloads and to rate the game.<\/a><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080\">* I sincerely hope that this means your friends all just don\u2019t have the time right now, or you don\u2019t want to bother them with a game you know was made in 72 hours and is thus probably very unpolished \u2013 and not that all your game-programming has left you with no friends!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080\">**To achieve this, we have done more work post-jam. We admit it. Basically, we stripped the game from graphics to be able to run it headless as a server. And we fixed a bug, which wasn\u2019t really in the game but the underlying network engine. We admit that too.
