Hey, guess what guys? I'M NOT DEAD! I'm still working in the database like a madman...and I feel like now is the time to share some of the changes done to the game. Have a Changelog, with spoilers cut out! I do have a To-Do List, if anyone is interested in helping with brainstorming ideas and whatnot. I'm always up for that, and always need it. I can't get to mapping until I get the database done mind you!
