This Week's (And previous) Update! (Patreon)

Hey all! Hope everyone has had a great Thanksgiving (and if not, I hope you've just had a good couple weeks in general :p) It has been a little longer than I'd like since the last monday post. Real life has once again taken a little toll on us, but we've still been working on this in force. We're gearing up to release our final proof of concept demo some time in mid december. After that release, we will be pretty set to start doing updates **much** quicker, most likely bi-monthly. We've had some great expert help on refactoring our pipeline, and it has been doing wonders for our productivity.

I'd like to once again thank everyone for continuing to support us in this enormous undertaking, as we continue to push through the hardships. 

Once again, if you wish to talk to us personally, please join us on discord, where we are most easily accessible. It also helps us with feedback and keeping people informed by answering questions immediately: https://discord.gg/dxudK6eMb9
