I had the same trepidation but that trick is from José at Avalanche. It cured my door problem which was the same.

Understood and appreciated. But the toy box crashed several times on the first setup and corrupted a file. I'm working on promo videos for the September pilot that will go on IBM's odc site. So the the risk/reward ratio is not in my favor ;-). Tried several times to download the whole library and adjust it on the fly... interesting file corruption each time ;-).

Hey, @4aic400, your cruise ship looks amazing!

Good luck to everyone! My anxiety level just rose with the announcement that KINGDOM HEARTS 3 will be at D23 and I'll either be there or not depending on this contest lol... :o

As of 2:35 AM (Eastern), I am officially entered. I didn't get nearly everything I wanted in after the Buzz of Death forced me to start from scratch on Saturday. I got three actual challenges done (Skydiving, Grind Rail and Sand Castle). I also have a race track and a couple other attractions that aren't set up as challenges like they were in the original box.

It is not my best effort but I am very happy with it under the circumstances. The intro to the box talks about a hurricane that pretty much destroyed the town. I played with that a little and left random pockets of bad weather.

If you know how long I usually take to build my boxes, the amount of work I got done in less than 3 days (10-12 build hours) is staggering. I did use some of the builders to fill in the empty space at the very end and I didn't have time to fully decorate.

My box is titled Summertown, USA.

My wife and I were working on our submission to the last minute, we went to enter it with time to spare, but it wanted us to update contact info, finished that with 2 minutes on the clock but it locked us out wouldn't take it... she is heartbroken... sent in a blurb to the website but.... much sadness will be had....

^ That truly stinks. I doubt they will do anything but hope for your sake they do. After all, your box was in by midnight right?

My wife says it all the time and I tend to agree: For such a huge company with virtually unlimited resources, their IT (web sites and apps) really suck. So many issues!

@FlameChampion, That is one of the worst feelings ever. That happened to me on one of Nickelodeon's animated short pitch competitions. It sucks...

Good luck to everyone who entered. All the entries I've played are fantastic. May the force be with you.

My toy box is up: Summertown, USA

I may go back and try to finish this properly (all the original logic) but I need a few days off and then will I want to finish my Zelda level...
