New Ludum Dare game: hack.source.net

We’re back from Ludum Dare 34, which means a new game! We’ve attended the Jam (team development challenge) with a new challenge: learn how to program a networked multiplayer game with Unity in just 72 hours. It was a tough ride, with lots of bugs, errors, computer screen coming alive, dragons being real, and philosophy wars, but we finally got it done! Our new game is hack.source.net, a 2-player hacking FPS by Taro Omiya. Did we also mention that it’s open-source, too?
