Most developers are now posting links to their jam games, both in download and browser form, on the <a href="http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/">Ludum Dare blog</a>.<br /><br />A few that take clever advantage of the jam's theme, "You are the villain," are <a href="http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2012/12/17/213993/"><em>Deadland</em></a>, <a href="http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-25/?action=preview&amp;uid=10851"><em>You Are The Goatman</em></a>, <a href="http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-25/?action=preview&amp;uid=13748"><em>Train Splat</em></a>, <em><a href="http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2012/12/17/the-world-is-mine/">The World is Mine!</a></em>,<em> <a href="http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-25/?action=preview&amp;uid=15389">Super Witch Hunter Pro</a> </em>(pictured above)<em> </em>and of course Mike Schramm's (of the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/editor/mike-schramm">Schramm Joystiqs</a>) <a href="http://mikeschramm.com/spaceliberators/"><em>Space Liberators</em></a>.

Ludum Dare 25 began on December 14 with the theme, "You are the villain" (We didn't want to tell you, but you totally are. Pity, that).<br /><br />Ludum Dare 25 consists of the strict, 48-hour solo competition, which ends today, and the more "relaxed" jam, which ends tomorrow, December 17. Anyone interested in taking a peek behind the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUdhwYUR8dc">lacy, gently wafting curtain</a> of indie game development can do so on the <a href="http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/">Ludum Dare website</a>, where developers post updates, photos and thoughts for all to see. But be quick - the developers certainly are.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/16/ludum-dare-25-ends-today-or-tomorrow-relative-to-devs-daring/">Ludum Dare 25 ends today or tomorrow, relative to devs' daring</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sun, 16 Dec 2012 13:30:00 EST.
