Dare has been epic, I think every team and everyone involved will agree. It's a once off experience, we've traveled and experienced life up in Belfast, gained and improved our technical/creative/production skills and we've gotten to know and meet so many people. It's been the largest and toughest project any of us here have worked on but easily the greatest and despite the ridiculously long hours, stress and anxiety that little bit of light marking the end is coming through, the work is paying off and every second has been worth that second spent and more. Thanks to everyone responsible for making this happen.

Our development is officially finished tomorrow and preparation for Protoplay and the final judging is priority, we'll be readying ourselves until our flight next Saturday. All our protoplay materials have arrived, issues with the AMDs have been resolved, design documents are bound and the web site is finished, with screenshots and a trailer. A prototype of our game has been available for download for the last two weeks for players to give feedback, the download is password protected for now to restrict distribution of the game but it will be available to the public at a future date.

We're actually going to be over in Scotland this Sunday 29th, if any of the Dundee teams are around and free. M&D's theme park have a deal with Stenaline, so a bit of a booze cruise and some rollercoasters and such are the order of the day, a small pre-protoplay treat for ourselves :)

I'm marking this as the final post in this blog. Presentation preparation isn't the most exciting subject to write about so best of luck to all the teams, I'm looking forward to meeting people and playing the games of course. It's going to be a bit surreal seeing people we recognise from the podcasts...

See you all at protoplay
