Broken Dinosaur Studios is an indie team of student game developers, designers, artists, musicians and creative writers, some of which, currently attending Full Sail University. 'Trails of the Gauntlet' was our mid-term project and took 3 months from concept to completion. We all learned a ton from working on this project; especially about working in a group. Our scope was ambitious but we made it happen! As we continue our accelerated degree programs at Full Sail, we will likely put any spare time we have into future projects. For that reason, please consider this project complete and see past the 'known-shippable' bugs if and when you find them. Thank you all for your continued support! P.S. Steam Achievements and Trading Cards coming eventually! pls don't hold your breath, but it will most likely, probably happen at some point in the future! (after graduation) Love, BrokenDinosaurStudios
