Banners and balloons, wine and kabobs – White Giant RPG Studios held a development party for its inaugural game on September 20, 2012. The fanfare culminated in an all day and night (until 7am) speed-run tournament between the company founders, game testers, and supporters. Although the head programmer, Dr. Mandrew, was heavily handicapped by competing in “Hard” mode, he pulled off 1^st place in 14.75 hours. Dr. Chris, who made considerable contributions to the mathematics behind the Advanced Strategy Guide, finished 2^nd in 15.08 hours on “Easy” mode. Mr. Cope and I came in 3^rd and 4^th, respectively, on “Normal” mode, and Dr. Strand (“Easy”) and Mr. Toman (“Very Easy”) rounded out 5^th and 6^th. Admittedly, 16.25 hours was not enough time for me to complete the last mega-dungeon, while Mr. Cope clocked-in at 15.58 hours. Here’s to the winners and to the completion of Last Dream!
