Can you either link statically or try an older version of VC, one that is more likely to be found in the wild? (or does ldc require 2015?)

I really want to try your game :)

No, not without rebuilding Phobos/druntime as it stands.

Version 1.7 is still available and is compiled with DMD for 32-bit Windows.

You can also clone the repo and type "dub": https://github.com/p0nce/Vibrant

Given the general speed up with LDC, it would need more profiling/optimizing to get back to DMD. Maybe next release.
