This is our first full-length game (we created a demo of a 2D plattformer before though).What are your goals for this game?

• create a world that is different and has a unique atmosphere to it.
  
• doing as much of the work by ourselves as possible. So far we did most of the work ourselves, except for: music, environmental sounds, some of the textures. Also, we obviously leaned heavily on an awesome game engine (Unreal).
