Gracias. Incidentally the competition due date coincides with Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican holiday. This is partially responsible for the tropical setting. As such, I, living in the West, will attempt to have this ready for download sometime on the 4th of May. Then, we can all enjoy it on the 5th regardless of our timezones. That means I have 3 days left.
Development-wise, today I'm working on the final episode. There are so many cutscenes and animations related to this episode that I'm a little overwhelmed right now. I'm considering cutting a section of the episode because it's very demanding on the design side.
A section played on moving mine carts. The background is animated, the carts are static. If you don't make it to the end you get different results. Plus other animations.
I ended up making a music track, because I couldn't find any good tribal drum tracks available. I took a sample under a creative commons non-profit sampling+ liscense. Then, I diced it up and pieced it back together in Audacity. I'm not sure if this is a good approach, but I'm still learning the software.
