Dawn of Corruption [1.0.0] Release Notes!

Hey everyone!

I can't even remember how long it's been. 5-6 years? Something like that.

But after countless hours of development, iteration, and pushing things further than I thought possible, the full 1.0 release of the game is finally here.

I remember starting this project thinking it would be a fun Twine experiment for my writing, just a small cool game like the one SuperWaffle made back in the day.

One thing led to another and now we're here. This game shaped my life and career, let me become a fully independent developer.

Without this project, I wouldn't have met my husband, my friends, wouldn't have learned 3d modeling or animation. I don't quite have the words to express how much it made me into the person I am today.

Thank you to everyone who supported the game, tested builds, shared feedback, or simply followed along.

It genuinely made a difference.
