Haha, good timing! I just checked Itch for the day and saw your message.
Things are going ok for me, was finishing up another beta until a few min ago. Sounds like you've been away for a while! There have been 3 large areas since then, all of them with a metric shitload of plot and the first mega plot choice. It's been a strange year, always feels like I'm going too slow/not doing well enough, but then I look back and (usually) realize I actually did alright.
Hope things have been going well for you!
