“Ludus Design, the game development company behind the
self-published Quadra game for both Linux and Windows, announces
that it will be shut down. The Quadra game will be turned over to
the community.”

“Some big (and a bit sad) news, after a long period of
silence…
we ended up founding Ludus Design,
without really having the management or publishing experience.
Since the not-so-low fees associated with being a company are soon
due, we discussed this over and decided to shut down Ludus
Design.”

“We will make 1.1.4 the final release of Quadra, also releasing
the complete source code to the game (for both Linux and Windows)
at the same time. Note that QSnoop is not our own code (Norm wrote
it), so unless Norm wants us to put up his source code, it will not
be part of the source release, sorry.
