Latest focus - designing an Ability Capture system.
Rather than simply buying abilities from a vendor, 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 them. Defeat challenging enemies and capture fragments of their power. Buildcrafting = earned agency.
W/ the bonus of encouraging player exploration/discovery.

This upcoming update grew bigger than planned. It started with character creation + save/load now includes full LAN & online co-op! 👥
It’s delayed, but has meant big steps toward feature completion, and sets the stage for party-based testing. Let the party begin! 🎮🎮🎉 (hey-o)
