Update notes for 21 December 2024

Hi everyone!

I've been really busy working on my next game, Cell Sw--- ok I've been sitting around watching Andromeda (there's only so many times a person can rewatch Babylon 5). I was initially a bit hostile to it (how many times can they say the word Nietzschean in one episode?!?) but it's OK.

I have a small update I wanted to push for Liberation sooner rather than later (some of these changes have already gone live). The main change is that the player now gets a reward (I'm not saying what) for winning the Death Race. I have fond memories of watching The Running Man as a kid (I hear they're remaking it?!?) and Death Race is kind of the same vibe hopefully (how many bracket comments can I add to one post?).

I hope your 2025 is awesome!

Regards,
Luke
