Just a small update this week with some bug fixes. I’ve mostly been working on stuff for Level 5, the first version of which should be playable in the January 25th update if all goes well.

Also, Streets of Rogue will be at PAX South this weekend! I won’t be there (hopefully I’ll find time to come to one of these shows in the near future), but say hello to the tinyBuild crew!

This week’s Fortnight Discussion: The Home Base. What would you like to see there?
