So I decided I would sit down and finish the sprites and thus prepare for the release.
I ended up building another map. I'm not sure how that works, but still.
On an unrelated side note, line mirrors are picky, picky little buggers.
At this point, I'm considering just finishing episode 2's maps and then calling that open beta 2. Except I don't have an ETA on that, and it might take a long time so I might not. No idea, really.
So yeah. Not dead. Thank you all.
