Oh man, I just remembered I like to update you guys on what's going on.

I've been back on the horse for quite a while now and work has been plugging along on the game. All the optimisation work is done now, but it led to a slew of really hairy crash-to-desktop style bugs which the AMAZINGLY patient test team have been helping me nut out. We're getting close, though, so the optimised update should be with you fairly soon all going well.

The optimisation results are quite good, too. It IS heavily system dependent, but in some instances I've knocked load times down by half or less, others not so much, others even more. My favourite is moving between dungeon floors on shaderless mode. The load music barely has time to kick in before the new floor is loaded on my PC. Very exciting stuff.

Anyway, back to it! Sorry I forgot to update you for a while there! Been back to my "working really late into the night" schedule and I was too buried in code haha


And on a personal note, thank you so much for all the beautiful support messages I got about my poor Evie passing away. It hit me harder than anything has before, and getting so many lovely messages about your own experiences really helped me feel less alone during what was an incredibly difficult time. You're all amazing and I love you.
