Heads up everyone!
We wanted to give a heads up, you may have noticed that the past 2 weeks updates and progress had been slow, and unfortunately we will need to postpone this months dev update, as familial obligations, day work, and holiday travel has made it near impossible for us to get substantial content ready to showcase rece...

We are in full swing for getting the first wave of our campaign level assets ready to go!
Last month we took a look at Maintenance, and the direction we’ve decided to go with that. As those modular assets are nearing completion and in the poli...
The past month we have been locked in almost exclusively on getting out assets for maintenance done. So we are a bit sparse of new raw content, or significant bug fixes, to show off.
Regardless, it's still good to keep things up to date and g...

This month we want to show off our process for creating modular world assets.

Attention!
There was a catastrophic failure on my part where i had assumed Patreon saved my changes to the dev update post last night, apparently it didn't and almost ll the content we were working on was missing.
Ive edited and fixed the post and all that content should be viewable now.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
