Imminent Extinction -- Week Ending 11 Feb

Last March of the Dodos is playable! There's a white-boxed level in place, the Dodos are making their way to their destination, and the player has full control to set traps and watch the Dodos disappear as they die. Only minimal chain reactions are possible, but seeing them in action is pretty cool: place the pie bait, watch the Dodos cluster in large numbers, then--BOOM!--drop an explosion in the middle of them. :) And it's all guilt-free!

Beyond that, we also have a solid vision of how we want our environments to look. Above is a waterfall in Mauritius, the home of the now extinct dodo bird. It's a shame that such a beautiful place has such a dark past.

We present to the faculty and the graduating cohort on Monday, so we're looking forward to how we can clean up our presentation for the professional panel on Wednesday. We can't believe time has flown by so quickly, but we're happy with our progress, and we'd love to continue work on such a fun concept for our official thesis.


Wish us luck!
