What I've been up to
🕑 Added 2019-01-29 00:30:55 +0000 UTCHello all! I've been very, very active in our discord. So active, in fact, that I sometimes forget to make posts on here. Sorry about that :( But if you want to know what I'm thinking about for the game next, that's the best place to go. It really helps to bounce ideas off of people before I implement them. A lot of helpful folks have steered the game's direction and next steps.
I've implemented a lot of new features in the game, and I wanted to share that list here. This isn't a list of everything the game has, just what I've done since I last posted a feature list. If any of these features don't make sense but you're interested in what it means, let me know and I'll elaborate.
Hope you're all doing great!

Well, that part isn't implemented yet, but it's probably going to happen. And yeah, I appreciate all ideas :) It's fun to brainstorm on this stuff.

Great to see my idea of them finding and giving you things is making its way into the game in some form (unless you had already thought of or added before and great minds just think alike :) ), guess i'll have to try and think of another possible concept to add now.
