- created a way to exit/enter hostile mode (the end-game sequence) which give players who want to go back and explore the game more before they end it a way to do so

- sorry for the lack of updates. i have been doing fun wishlist stuff; i made a list of about 10 wishlist items that i wanted to do for this "break" from core tasks, and did them all. so i'll count that as ten decimals (1/10th of a task). i don't want to name each one, but they were all cool ( Read more... )
