A BYU Center for Animation Student Project This project was planned, designed, and developed by a team of undergraduate students over the course of a year as a capstone, senior project for the BYU Center for Animation. We are extremely proud of the what we have accomplished during that time. With that said, you will probably encounter bugs and other issues during your gameplay experience that reflect both our experience (or lack thereof) and our tight development cycle. Many of us are moving on to jobs or graduate school, meaning updates post-release are very unlikely. Regardless, we appreciate your time and feedback, and hope you enjoy your time with SKYGUARD!
