Last year, on the evening of July 29th, we launched the beta of Mayonnaise Hole! It's the biggest project I've undertaken and the start of what I hope will become a long career in game development. You've all exceeded my expectations by giving the game 435 unique downloads, 8 reviews (all 5-star!), and thousands of page views! On top of that, I saw many of you sharing the project with your friends on social media, competing for speed-run records, and streaming the game on Twitch! I can't thank you all enough for giving me support and sharing in the excitement.

I'd also like to thank Mustin for his hard work and dedication to the main soundtrack. Robbie Benson who's tracks weren't in the beta but will hopefully be revealed soon. Fangamer for their patience, resources, and belief in me. All my play testers who saw past the crude early stages and bugs, and encouraged me to continue chasing the vision we shared.

As we pass the 1-year anniversary, I'd like to give an update on the state of version 1.0. It is still in the works, but will not be released this year like originally planned. Development was put on hold in the middle of 2022 as I was re-allocated to a different project. That project has since proven to be much more work than anticipated and has required all my attention. I can't comment on the project itself or when it will be done, but I want you all to know that I still have full intention of returning to Mayonnaise Hole when it is complete. I'm excited to have more news for you all soon!

Thanks again for making the launch of the Mayonnaise Hole Beta a resounding success, and I look forward to where we'll be next year!
