Hey guys,

Just a quick note to say how impressed I was with your project! You guys were able to create a huge amount of content and functionality in a very short period of time! Kudos!

Take care,

Thanks

Nate, thanks so much!

Our strength was having a large team. Our only real problem was that we had a terrible network connection. This prevented us from using our off-site programmer. With him it would have been even more impressive. He'd actually given us some "power up" capabilities and I was getting two hours of sleep when it came in. Instead of checking my network at the hotel (I used my hotel twice for sleeping: 2hrs on Saturday noon, and 2 hours Sunday 10a-12 for the price of one!) I waited until I got back to DU to check my connection. Then the other guys spent so much time integrating other stuff we just didn't have time to get everything in - the weakness of a large team. :-) My world (the waterfall one) had particle effects on the bottom, as well as more and better signs. These also did not get in.

I'm currently learning from this and have started this discussion about how to use Unity better in teams (with SVN) at Linked In:

Anyway, thanks for the attention and kudos!
