While work on v0.5 hasn't been going as fast as I would like, it's still being done at a moderate pace. Burnout has really been affecting me, particularly with writing, so I've been trying to distract myself by mapping and making new enemies. At this point, I'm very unsure as to when a playtest will be released, but I'm shooting for sometime this next week. There's still so much to be worked on.
However, on a more positive note, we are just about to hit 1k followers on itch.io! This is a massive milestone, and I'm so happy to achieve it with my community. In response, I'm going to put up a poll for a short game idea I want to make which will begin work after v0.5 is released. If you have any questions about anything, always know my DMs are open both here and on Discord.
