A new year, a new batch of animation challenges on the Bricks in Motion Discord server! Like last year, I’ll be maintaining a little overview list of the challenges, entries, and entrants. Last year’s animation challenge was a great success, and I hope to see lots more stuff this year.
Like last year, I’ll be periodically updating this list going forward.
