Hi there,

Welcome to our final dev log (for now). The game is officially released after a tough and busy 12 weeks. It's been quite the journey and we're happy to have been able to share this with you all. The last week, albeit a short one, was chock full of activity to get everything done before the deadline.

The art department, has been making sure everything is presentable and looks great. The itch.io page has had a visual overhaul (as you've probably noticed by now) and a release trailer has been made. They've also worked hard on some behind the scenes stuff, like a pitch presentation and dressing that up nicely, but that will most likely not be publicized. Some of the assets and effects sadly did not make it into the project due to time constraints. For example, we planned to enhance the map's elemental changes more by adding unique borders for every single element.

In the meantime, on the coding the side, there have been numerous bug fixes and code changes. Having ran into some "surprise elements" in how the code executed, it was a very hectic week. This was also not helped by the fact that one of the programmers, Xander, has unfortunately been hospitalized and is currently still recovering. After the aforementioned bugs were fixed, we found out that the build of the game (so the fully compiled version) behaves a bit differently than the in-editor version of the game. So a tip from me, to you: make frequent builds and test them, **and use version control religiously**.

Our sound producer, Emily, has made some final tweaks to the mastering of the audio and then out of the goodness of her heart, helped along with coding to lighten the workload a bit (for which I am eternally thankful).

This has been quite the experience and we're glad to have been able to share this with you. We hope you enjoy our game.

(There might be some minor post launch updates but we can't promise anything yet)
