This update includes a whole bunch of fixes, as my never-ending quest to rid this game of all bugs continues. Seriously, Ill probably be updating this thing til Im dead. So, what else have I been up to? Well, for the past several months, Ive primarily been focused on creating new tech for the sequel. I'm happy to say it's going really smoothly! This groundwork will allow for a MUCH more expansive, open world than the original game can muster. Im super excited about the gameplay potential here, this will open up a ton of new possibilities. While itll be a very long time before I have anything official to show, Ill continue to keep you posted on my progress with these updates. Be sure to keep sending me your ideas/hopes/dreams/etc.!

Hopefully I can find a way to bring these back at some point in the future.
