[p align=\"start\"][/p][p align=\"start\"]General reflections[/p][p align=\"start\"]I\'m pretty pleased with how much I\'ve been able to do this year. The demo update release kept getting delayed, but I\'ve made good overall progress. I tried to keep as focused on Lo-Fi Room as much as possible, but inevitably there were shorter term things that I also wanted to do. I think it\'s been a pretty good balance this year.[/p]

[p align=\"start\"]I\'m not sure if I\'ll be able to release the full version ofLo-Fi Room next year but I should get pretty close! If I do, it will probably be towards the end of the year. I\'m reluctant to make any promises about a release date as I find it very hard to predict and my time can very easily get impacted by other things.[/p][p align=\"start\"][/p][p align=\"start\"]Anyway, those are my thoughts and general plans. I can\'t promise that Lo-Fi Room will release next year (there is still quite a lot to do), but it should be close to being finished by the end of 2026.[/p][p align=\"start\"][/p][p align=\"start\"]Thanks again for your interest and being patient with development. It\'s all taken way longer than expected~[/p]
