finally got what i am hoping to be the major changes involved in this “huge rewrite” completed and have started testing. lots and lots of notes/bugs already, it is hard to feel like i am making progress, but these things should have been this way from the start. i should probably clean up the game-breaking bugs while i shift gears back into digital content creation and maybe tweak a few things. it is a good time to get a feel for the new stage progression system and adjust some difficulty and gameplay stuff accordingly. progress is progress, but will i ever finish this damn game?
