Well I woke up around 10.30AM, and here in Australia the competition starts at 12. So I browsed my various websites that I frequent, waiting for the theme to be released. I put off doing the boring stuff that one has to do on a Saturday because those are the best times to think! Midday comes along, and I excitedly look at the theme! Escape… One of the few themes that I absolutely didn’t want. at least 60% of the themes that were on there were excellent for me, and I could come up with ideas instantly.

I head off to have a shower, and then go for a walk and get groceries, which will give me a chance to work out what I want to do. None of the ideas I come up with really click though. I thought of building bridges across a chasm to allow villagers to escape (from whatever), escaping from reality, or escaping from fantasy (wizard in the real world). I was quickly running out of ideas, so I started bastardising the word escape.

First off it was e-scape. Some sort of online landscaping, maybe terrain manipulation? An idea, but one I couldn’t flesh out. ES Cape came to mind, well that means I can do stuff with capes, and capes are cool! I thought of a villain whose name is something like Edward Sedwick Cape who has to get past police with a combination of cape attacks and a special cape defense (which would make him invisible?). In anycase, I liked the play on words, and have decided to stick with it.

Lets see how it goes!
