Engine Overhaul in Progress

Mars Incremental
A downloadable game for Windows

Hey guys, so I'm sorry for the lack of a game update, but I realized I need to overhaul the engine. See, I'm building my own engine from scratch, and the one I made for this first game prototype was admittedly mostly vibe coded using Claude Code. That was great for making a prototype, but inspecting the code reveals it is a mess.

So I'm starting over on Cortex Engine, and this time I'm writing all the code myself, with my good 'ol human neural network in my good ol' human skull. I am also working on my Canine programming language, which will probably replace JavaScript in the engine.

This means a likely long delay before a next game version, but I think it will be worth it.
