Welcome back! Hope you all have had a great summer and have enjoyed yourselves to the fullest!

You might notice that compared to our previous one we didn't make much progress at all, which we're both terribly sorry for! We're still easing back into work from what happened last month with Lime and we're slowly chugging along at our own pace, to make sure we get the most out of developing this game as possible. We wanna get this out ASAP, but we also know to prioritize our own wellbeing as well, and if we need to take breaks we will!

Progress has also been sluggish because me and Lime have encountered our first game breaking bug so far, yikes. We've been troubleshooting solutions but we may need to resort to just redoing the entire frame from scratch, which is fine if we need to do it, but it will be a hassle to do so. Luckily, it's not all doom and gloom!

For the most part, the entire first half of Knuckles' section in the game is complete (YIPPEE)! Aside from a few things bug fixes in both acts and some object placement and decorations in Act 2, they're almost completely done. Alongside that, the main big thing for the first section (you know it all too well) is basically complete! We're doing something special that we won't spoil so it took a LOT more effort to finish that up than usual, but we've managed.

I'm getting started on assets for the second half, as well as the secret level, to get progress steadily moving again. Aside from that, there's not much else to share, so I'll pose another .EXE related question. I'm curious, in most .EXE games, which section out of the main 3 characters do you like the MOST and like the LEAST? It doesn't need to be specific, but it'd be nice to know community reception on what sections might need the most touchups!

That's all for this month, sorry for being late again, and we'll see you all September!
