I hope everybody's year has started to go good, welcome to 2025!

TLDR?: Game development on the 2d version will be slower because I'm relearning the 3d systems for future development. updated on the 2D version will be significantly slower due to this.

The main update on this is - I'm going to start re-familiarizing myself with the Unreal engine systems and start re-learning that, so when the time comes I can train the other people who are helping with the game design on what to do, how to do it, etc in the way that best accelerates the game coding. It is going to take a lot more effort to properly get the 3d things how I imagine them in a 3d setting, so please bear with me on this. I will also post updates (though probably untextured, basic stuff - like how maps / worlds will look) as time goes on.

This isn't to say the 2D version is being abandoned - far from it. It is still being used to develop the story easier in ways that make sense, along with calibrating armors, weapons, enemies, maps, etc.
