As you may already know, I have been unable to work on GunSuit Guardians for a long time due to family and work commitments. I regret the lack of updates since launching into Early Access and I really appreciate the kind words of encouragement that I've received from many of you in my absence. While I have no intention of abandoning the project altogether, it has been very difficult to find the time and energy to work on it at the end of a long day. That's an unfortunate reality of solo indie development as a parent that I had to learn the hard way.

But, with that said, I have had time between freelance projects lately. I've made huge strides towards a new update... the biggest one yet, in fact.

It will be ready for release very soon. 👀
