Progress Update 05/13/2023
Development continues at a steady pace this week with several visual fixes and, at long last, the ability to delete fossilized organisms in-game. Outside of programming, there's been lots of revived discussion on the topic of progression and game balance!
If there is still anything you would like to say about our latest release, please do so in our feedback thread. Let us know what you think!
