Originally it was about a bulldozer on a rampage.  The rule of never go with the first thing that pops in your head worked well because my second concept was better. I thought, what about a construction worker with a laser arm (like Samus Aran from Metroid) that shoots wrenches.<\/p>\n <p>What went right:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Organized very well<\/li>\n <li>Pace of progress was steady<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>What went wrong:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>I learned too late how well two editing programs work together.
