Hi there, and thank you for the encouraging words! That means a lot and I do very much appreciate it.
v0.8 is proceeding more or less at the expected pace. It has been a rewarding experience so far though certainly not without its fair share of challenges. Lots of edits, optimizations, and customizations needing to be made on the fly.
Even so, it's been so much fun to see the beginnings of nearly one calendar year of event writing finally come to a playable state. There's something special about moving from the space of ideas and imagination to the space of tangibility. It's the type of feeling that makes me glad I decided to make this game.
