Development diary #18 was uploaded recently, and yes, it's a pretty long one, sorry! The written update will be on IndieDB soon if you prefer some light reading.

I’m still not really any better at predictin…Recent updates, new footage, and more!Hi :) Lee here (FE lead dev)-- I think we can all agree that posting here is somewhat over-due, and we've fallen into the all-too-common pattern (for better or worse) of posting small updates over on Discord whilst neglecting to mirror such things over here. I think this comes from such bite-size updates feeling too insignificant to warrant a mention on the store page itself, and us tending to…
