We have a name for our game, of course, but we needed to come up with a name for our company!  We had a massive brainstorming session and came up with a huge list of words to incorporate.  These are some of the highlights...
Dapper
Inferno
Flying Fox
Worthy Sophisticate (From a random word generator)
Calico
Prehistoric Studios
Bio-digital Jazz
Jerry Rigged
Digital FireFall
Flulminology (The Study of Lightening)
Pony Storm (Lauren's Boyfriend's contribution)
Inverted Spider
22 Calliope (Name of an asteroid)
Dendritic (Derived from 'Dendrite')
Iron Pine Studios (Good, until we realized Iron Pine Peak was a location in Skyrim)
Brick Oven

So... what did we decide on?  We shall reveal that another day!

Our unique navigation system is now figured out, and we have a bunch of assets that we can bring into a level.  Liz designed our prototype level to show off our functionality thus far, and Alex is implementing it in the code.  Bryson continues to polish the navigation, controls and camera to make the gameplay feel natural.  Lauren has been working on some UI art so we can get away from using the standard Android options.

The holidays are going to be an excellent time to work, so we're all really "gearing" up to finish the prototype before Christmas!

We are chugging away at our prototype, which is set to be done by mid-december.  Movement has been a challenge, particularly figuring out how we want to handle physics in this game.  What we have right now actually looks very clean and is going in the right track... it is incredible to see this experiment actually starting to work.  We have a level layout designed on paper, which is good to have early because of the tedious nature of building game areas right now.  However, the hard work has certainly paid off, because the feel of the game is already very convincing, even with very temp assets and unfinished controls.

Our next steps are polishing our movement, developing gameplay maneuvers and expanding our asset library!
