I just love communicating! I haven't been with GS since the beginning but came in around January. Basically, before any praise, keep in mind that I'm honestly the reason for the huge delay. The code base was, not great and in order to make things easier AND faster for us down the road, it NEEDED to be redone. That's what took the most time, we essentially refactored all of the core systems except for the dialog from scratch.
The good part is there was a new feature on the list and instead of taking hours or days, it took me 20 minutes to add it into the game with our new set up. That's the power of good, clean and solid structure in the code.
