Marching On! -- Week Ending 25 Feb

It's official! Last March of the Dodos was greenlit and will move forward into full production as one of three thesis games our cohort will develop! The hard work and unity of the team paid off with the professionals and faculty alike, and we are pumped to see what we can do over the next 10 months with twice as many developers as we had for the prototype.

We're in the middle of brainstorming and constructing an updated product backlog right now, so there's not a lot of new content to display. Fortunately, that makes this the perfect opportunity to introduce our new team members!
