-An addendum-

And unless something urgent comes up, that concludes the 1.0 cycle of updates! Gearing up for release and subsequently addressing the immediate concerns post release has left me going nearly a month without taking a day off! I'm going to be taking a few days to myself now that I've addressed nearly everything criticized, and I'll be back (hopefully soon!) when I have sound effects finished up for Dungeons. If you encounter a bug still feel free to report it to the Discord and I'll jot it down to include in the sound effects update. I'm very thankful so many people have enjoyed Bounty Below despite its inherent shortcomings! Bounty Below was originally intended to be a short 2-3 month project, but the addition of Dungeons and a bit of personal life made it take nearly 5 years! I'm proud of how Dungeons especially shaped up towards the end of development, but it'll always be a bit of a weird mess of a project. I'm blown away by the number of people who have supported me via the golden cursor, and the amount of incredibly kind messages in the Discord. While continued development on this game was certainly hellish at points, I'm glad I finished it. Once I'm fully done with Bounty Below I'm extremely excited for what I have planned next!!!
