TDC and Hydra will resume the normal meeting schedule. See you this Wed. @ 5PM in room 428, and Friday @ 5PM in TDB. There are some planned changes to go over, so make sure you're there on Wednesday to get all the info. 

As a reminder, please have any and all work ready by then to upload to our project folder. This is very important. We will track contributions to the project by uploaded files, so if you've done work on paper, make sure we have a digital copy. Furthermore, make sure the file is named correctly so we know where it came from and where it belongs.

There's been quite some progress with the game over the last week, got lots of scripts from Antonio, some artwork, and I designed some gameplay bits. Looking forward to seeing what you guys have.

For now, the livestream tab is gone, and has been replaced with the "Videos" section, which has our YouTube channel currently. For that reason, I also removed the video bar at the top of the blog.

Lots of great stuff from this week. We kicked off our (TDC)week with guest speaker, Mark Houck, CEO of DACAAM.com. You can head over to DACAAM.com now and sign up for the upcoming beta. This will most likely be the host for our project. I'm very happy and thankful for the turn-out, please send me some feedback on the speaker, and let me know what kinds of speakers you'd like us to have in the future.

Production meeting tonight @ 5PM in room 428. Please bring your tools (whatever they may be.)

I have some moderately sized announcements.

See ya then.

I have finished editing the new template for the TDC Blog. This one should be a bit easier on the eyes. The old one was OK, but I found it too hard to read because of the transparent background. I went back to simple colors with this one.

Let me know what you think.

This week we will have a guest speaker- Mark Houck of DACAAM. We will discuss what DACAAM is and the indie gaming scene in general.

As usual, we will meet at 5 PM on Wednesday in Room 428.

See you all there!
