It's been good! Busy and lots of personal life stuff happening but good! Next version probably won't be ready for a while (doubt before 2025 with how ambitious it's gotten) - I really should post some of the preview stuff soon, but I don't want to show stuff that won't actually hit the next version.
Also I absolutely ADORE this kind of mechanic!! One of my favorite boss encounters I've run involved a fake-out death, and this is a glorious way of systemizing it to create both tension and drama!!
