At this point the games I look forward to get new releases so infrequently that I don't if I should be excited or worried. So I'll just say this: I'll play it. But I'm not getting hyped. See you in 2 years.

I've been noticing lately that bots appear when I use the tags. Usually all at the same time in the same order too. I'm going to try and go without for a while. It's always frustrating to get a notification and realize that the interaction wasn't real.

I replaced the audio middleware. The cool part is that I had already wrapped it's sound calls in my own functions, so none of the code that talked to it had to change.
There is 1 piece of middleware still in the game, and I'm working on removing it / implementing the feature myself. No more closed systems. Keep the code where I can see it.

If you bonk this enemy the wrong way, you'll lose the fastest path. This wasn't intentional, but I saw it happen and went "Wait keep that in!"

New bug: Arcade cabinets restore your health when you exit a minigame. I'm tempted to keep this in.

I ran into a weird performance issue. For some reason, the level 1 scene would drop frames, but only after the level was cleared. The source didn't seem to be drawcalls or code. It turns out it was the NPC animation trees. Too many of them run constantly. So now I turn them off when they'e far away.
