"I’m glad I finally got some screen time after so long, but… I’m still not totally happy with how I did. I’ve got a long way to go, so I’ll keep working harder for next time.
Hmm… now I’m curious, what do you think?

Which part of the game do you feel needs more attention?

• Finishing the UI for Improvements (mostly done)

• Working on mini-animations for the upcoming Special Request (still in progress)
• The next Special Request will have more interactions than previous ones (experimental)
• Completing all artwork for this version
