howdy!! im really interested in playing this one but for some reason, it just endlessly loads no matter if i download straight from itch.io or use their launcher, and i can’t close it through the window bar, only by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting “end task”. im trying to launch it on windows 11 24h2. let me know if you need any more info to help debug this!

Hi! Thanks for reporting the issue, I've run into this occasionally while playtesting the currently available version on my laptop. While I couldn't reproduce it on my desktop PC, it seems to be related to the asset pre-loading process crashing. Usually, trying again to run the game would fix it (but sometimes it took another try).
In the new version that we're currently working on (which should have been labeled 0.3.0 in the devlog as I've just noticed, not 0.2.0 since that's the currently available version, oops) the issue doesn't seem to happen anymore, or at least much less frequently, after I made some changes to the pre-loading process.
