We caught up recently with Janelle, CEO of Protege Production (a Microsoft BizSpark startup) and Robin Tan, the Creative/Technical Director, after being included among the top 20 finalists of the Dream-Build-Play 2010 Challenge for their game Armor Valley. Below is an email interview with her: “Congratulations for being among the top 20 in DBP 2010! Quite a feat indeed, besting the other games around the world! I remember you telling us before that this year would be a challenging one because you mentioned being ‘blown away’ with the other entries you saw. What are your thoughts about that now?
