Until now, I've been posting weekly devlogs directly to the project page where a pre-alpha release is available for download. Ordinarily I would tweet every little victory but Twitter is finally, effectively dead (at least to me). I still want to share my progress and now that my reach is getting shorter I figure I should focus my efforts here on Itch where I'll be among indie game enthusiasts.
