I put together another little compilation again!

Just like last time it's so I have something to point to that summarizes the whole event.  And it's kinda fun.

I was also able to collaborate with a graphic designer to make the banner and some other materials I might use in the future so I didn't have to waste time on that stuff.  I did, however, decide to use an hour to make a little animated intro out of the banner.  The thought occurred to me that 2D animation is just 3D animation without a D, so why not just use Blender?  Surprisingly enough it worked out quite smoothly.  I just put all of the layers into the 3D space as planes, sorted them with a little z-depth, and then animated them like normal with orthographic.  I thought there would be some sort of catch... but nope.  No catch.

We definitely have more great artists who would like to participate in the challenge in the future, but we're just not sure when that's going to be yet.  I really liked doing the CYOA style thing though, even though it nearly killed me, so maybe that will make a come-back at some point.
