On top of that movie credit to his name, he is the founder of a program with very similar ideals of FIRST.

And the plot thickens...
Then maybe there's a connection with the shapes the fish make in the movie. The pirate ship, the octopus, the lobster....Or even just the fact that the fish are changing shape at all. Working together to change shape. (alliances)
These things could have something to do with the game.
The scenario would be this; Member of GDC watching nemo, saw the fish, got idea, did a quick search, found out they were moonfish, didn't want to use the same fish because that would be too obvious, google search, first picture, game hint.

I'm guessing since it was labeled "Game Hint #1" on usfirst.org, it means there is at least one more hint coming our way. One hint isn't enough to hold us through until January!

This explanation actually makes sense

maybe this our answer?

Edit: although it does seem too good to be true

Edit 2: didn't we think last year that the clue had something to do with national treasure?

Yeah last year everyone thought it had to do with national treasure. We ended up racing instead.

Actually, many people figured out it was a race last year.
Problem is, even if you guess right and are 100% sure it is the game, you won't even start thinking about a design, as you are sure you are wrong..

Re: Game Hint #1

Ok, so here's what I've been thinking about for a day or two.

I looked up the Pixar/NEMO/moonfish thing a couple of days ago and got a look at those fish. I liked the fact that moonfish were in NEMO because of the movie and Pixar. I didn't like the fact that they were in a school and the brief research I've done shows them as loners and leaves enough gray area that I can't get a really good grip on their habits or much about them. They seem to be popular in the area of games. I even found an invisible moonfish board of sorts. But, nothing seems really concrete to me - a lot seems murky, hard to grasp.

It's fun, though. One thing for sure, this tale is going to be a whopper before it's over.

Oh no!!!
Now we have a geographical location to throw into the mix yet again?!?!?!?!

::groan::

Then again, a quick Google Maps look at that area makes it look kinda boring. (No offense to any Oklahoma residents in the house... lol)
Although, there seems to be a lake in that town in the shape of a shark! Ahahahaha!
