Hello, apologies for the lack of communication! I've been informing on Discord because I believe itch only boosts devlogs every 14 days, meaning I'd have to waste the boost on announcement instead of the release, although I could be wrong about how this works.
Anyway, rendering is all that's missing (technical/coding/GUI/fixes/music and writing all done) but I only have time during weekends, so v0.5 will most likely release before the weekend ends.
