Just checked out the build and there's still one major functionality issue that Jeff tells me will be done within the next hour. Other than that, there's a few very minor bugs and polish opportunities, but no other showstoppers.
I'm excited - it looks like we've done it! After the final build is done there's nothing to do but make sure to get our A/V system situated, drink a few beers and just do it :)
Results to come..

Week 9: Putting it all together
I haven't kept this blog as well as I liked, but I wanted to give it at least one last update.
I've spent the last few weeks tying up loose ends. Everything is falling into place, including the venue that I hope to propose to Steffany in. Fortuitously she booked a private dining room at a local brewery and invited all of her family along. I also let her father in on the project and he vowed to obtain a projector for the event.Yesss, I love it when a plan comes together.
Last week I collected animation from my good buddy Bennett who I've chatted with off and on about digital art projects since high school. I also gave myself a long time to create the UI art since graphic design isn't my strength.
This week I've been stressing out over actually completing the project, but then Jeff sent me a build that put my mind to ease :) All of the broad strokes are in place and its just the details that need ironing out now.
While all this was happening, my room mate and sometimes collaborator Ian Buckzkowski has been churning out music for me. It is a really cute tune, I can't wait for people to hear it.
Today I am putting together the level in Maya and adding vertex coloring to the buildings. The city looks like an easter egg basket!
It looks like this might actually happen! I also picked up the ring today - it is way gorgeous. I don't even like jewelry, but this is an exceptional ring. The jeweler had me look at the detail under his jeweler's magnifying glass thing and I exclaimed "Wow! It's like look at the moon with binoculars!"
