Happy spring, adventurers!

It's been 4 months, and while I don't have a huge list of things to mention, it's time for the first devlog of 2026.

Things are coming along, and I've almost finished another map, albeit a smaller, side one, so much quicker and easier to make overall.

But along with that, more changes and improvements come, largely due to watching some trusted testers, hopefully leading to a nicely polished, accessible experience!

I also decided to cut one of the planned maps. It was going to be optional - The idea was to have one of those replayable combat-gauntlet dungeons, where you get a reward at the end each time to help you power up more for the end of the game. But it ended up becoming more of a pain than I felt it was worth. Sometimes it's important to recognise when a project has enough in it already, and to cut back.

Still a lot to do, but there's plenty of 2026 left. I'll probably see you again in another 4 months, hopefully with a bit more progress next time - It'll take years to finish if I only manage +5% to the Current Progress count every 4 months. 

Until next our paths cross, stay safe, and have a good spring and summer!
