First Announcement + The entire changelog up until this point!

Hi there! So the Red Sun has been in development intermittently for just under 7 months now, so some form of announcement is probably long due. The demo has been out for about 2 months and there have been a lot of updates that I haven't been announcing, mostly because I totally forgot I could. That being said, I want to post changelogs every time I make an update, which will hopefully be every few days until I feel that the demo is polished enough. In any case, that means that there are a lot of updates that I have not posted, I'm posting the entire changelog since development started on January 7th, 2023.

Some of the dates might be off a bit, but they should be decent ballparks. I just find it interesting to see how this game shaped up to be what it is today and thought some of you guys might be interested. Honestly it's kind of crazy how many breaks I took during development, and I hope I can be more consistent in the future. Anyways, I have a pretty big update cooking up, so hopefully it won't take 2 months until I release it!
