[p]Hey everyone,[/p][p]Quick update from the chaos zone: my old PC decided it had “seen enough development for one lifetime” and dramatically exploded into early retirement.

So… I ended up buying an entirely new system. Silver lining? I managed to rescue all the game development data. Nothing was lost! (Shoutout to backups… and maybe a little luck.)[/p][p]Thanks a ton for your patience while I wrestled with cables, drivers, and my own sanity.[/p][p]Now the fun part: a big update is dropping this Thursday. I’m really excited about this one, and I can’t wait for you to get your hands on it.[/p][p]Thanks again for sticking with me through the PC apocalypse.
More news soon![/p]
