šŸ‘·ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ“œ Future Update Ideas/Plans.

As I said when announcing the release date, v1.0 is not the end of the game so long as there are gamers playing. It took longer than it should've to get to this point, but Entomophobia was my first solo-developed game(I published other games while making this one but yeah), so there was a lot of learning that was done while making it. I appreciate the people who played during Early Access and gave feedback, thank you! :D

I'll make some small patches within the next couple of days, if you have bugs or issues, let me know through the Entomophobia discussions tab in the Community Hub, or on the Discord server linked in the About this section.
