    Hi everyone!

    So first of all...I apologize for the extreme lateness for this. Just went through the busiest semester of my life. Up until last week, I haven't touched Sony Vegas, an animation thread, or a game in months, but I'm back now! For a while :)

    Anyway, in addition to the Secret Santa event, we have a stash of returning and new MBRQs just in for the holidays!

    Some important notices:
    • All winter holiday-themed quests will last until January 15th, 2017!
    • General quests will last until March 20th, 2017.
    • If you did one of the returning quests from last season, you may now feel free to do it again, but differently this time.

    Remember, you will be judged by fellow members of the community. Incomplete work will likely not pass, so please be creative and do your best!

    For more info, be sure to read the FAQs section to learn all about MBRQs.
    Have fun!

    Go for it man! You don't need my permission; just make the animation, post it in a thread with the proper MBR format (challenge, voting poll, etc.) and you're good to go! Feel free to ask any AT leader or staffie for help :)

    Is this to be about a community's evolution, like MM or GMS's community, or can it be about the future of the game itself?

    It can be either. Basically, any animation that takes place in a futuristic world or setting works (Y)
