Hey everyone,
First off — thank you for your patience. I know it’s been a bit quiet, so I wanted to give a clear update on where things are at.
⚠️ Current Status (Important)
The Workshop / Mods / Projects system is NOT ready yet.
If you try to use it right now, there’s a good chance it will crash or behave unpredictably.
I know that’s not ideal — but there’s a reason for it.
🧠 What Did Change (Big Under-the-Hood Upgrade)
While building the Projects system, I realized something important:
➡️ The system needed a better “brain” to support it properly.
So instead of forcing the Projects system out early, I shifted focus to building:
A new core runtime (more stable, more future-proof)
The foundation of a new system called Think Box
🧠 Think Box (Early Preview)
Think Box is going to become the central hub for:
System awareness
Reporting
Debugging
AI interaction
Right now, it’s VERY early.
You may notice:
Duplicate or confusing entries
Developer/debug information
Things that don’t fully make sense yet
That’s expected.
Honestly — don’t fully trust what you see in Think Box yet. It’s still under construction.
🤖 Smarter Ithiel (You Can Try This Now)
Even though some systems aren’t ready yet…
👉 Ithiel itself is already much more connected and aware.
Go ahead and test it:
Ask Ithiel about the system
Ask what it’s doing
Ask about runtime or status
You might not understand everything yet — but that’s part of what’s being built.
🚧 Why I’m Releasing This Now
I decided to push this update because:
The new core system is a major step forward
Ithiel is already smarter and more capable
It gives you a preview of what’s coming next
🔭 What’s Next
Over the next few months, I’ll be focused on:
Finishing the Projects / Mods system
Expanding and stabilizing Think Box
Improving UI behavior and clarity
Fixing edge cases and crashes
Tightening overall system reliability
The goal is simple:
Get Ithiel running as close to “solid” as possible before moving into VR.
❤️ Final Note
This update is a foundation — not a finished feature drop.
I really appreciate everyone sticking with me while I build this the right way instead of rushing broken systems out the door.
Thanks again for all your support.
