🎮 About the New Game Mode

In an earlier devlog, I mentioned that a new game mode was planned for this December. I’ve decided to postpone its release because it’s just not ready yet. I want to make sure it’s in a good state before sharing it with you all.

That said, I’m eager to gather your feedback on it! I’m planning to release the game mode on the experimental branch first, possibly in January, and may even organize broader playtests to see if it’s heading in the right direction. Keep an eye out for more news on this soon!

🎁 Holiday Break

As the holiday season approaches, the weekly devlogs will pause for a short break and return in the second week of January. I’ll also be taking this time to rest and recharge.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and an amazing start to 2025. Thank you so much for your support throughout 2024, it meant the world to me. I’m super excited for what’s coming next, and I can’t wait to share more updates with you in the new year!

Take care and see you in 2025 🎉
