Theme has been revealed!

It is 2pm here in South Korea on Sept 22nd and I am on a one hour subway ride to my girlfriend and teammate's home. I think she is a talented artist with pencil and paper, but lacks the proper confidence in herself. I hope that is something she can gain from this competition. She has had a wacom tablet and gimp up and running for about a month now so her tools are new to her still.

I have been getting acquainted with UE4 for the past 3 months now and have just wrapped up my first 2d mobile game's beta last night. I am happy I can shelve it away for a week and work on this competition, something new.

I am quite excited about the "Toys are Alive" theme because I feel it really will pair well with our art styles and current level of talent. At first glance I thought there will be many similar games and the theme was kind of close ended, but as I have been writing this my mind is running through a hundred ideas. I am excited to get started!

Unfortunately I woke up to horrible news this morning; my apartment's monthly bandwidth has hit it's cap. No internet access at home. It looks like we are going to be coffee shop developers for this competition.

There is a silver lining, it has given us a team name: CafeCrew.
