The freshness(I'm better nao)! And after that, we changed the entire story! Me and Andreas spoke early last Monday, and came to the conclusion that change was needed. Some hours later, GreenSpill had a emergency meeting, where we sat around like this:
No particularly delicious solution on how to salvage "Synergy" came up. So instead we made an entirely new story, that we have more hopes for.
We also made an entire first draft storyboard. Hopefully we'll make equally large progress this week, with animatic and stuph. Starting from square one more than a month into the project is a setback indeed, but I really think this is gonna pan out well.

And I hope we'll get started with some actual 3D soon enough. We've got moar stuph to model, and plenty of animation in this story as well.
