As the game has continued to evolve and become much larger than initially planned, some of the inner framework became a little messy. I spent a large portion of time redoing a lot of the game's core and as such, there are now performance increases across the board as well as faster loading times. That being said, it will also be easier for me to implement new features in the future as well as track down bugs. If anyone notices any abnormal behavior as a result of this update, please let me know and I will get it on it ASAP! I have thoroughly been testing all tables as I've made changes and have squashed any and all bugs that I have discovered but I am always fearful that something may have fallen through the cracks. Anyways, thank you for your continued support!
