More was planned for this update, but as you all know, I’ve been going through a major mental health crisis this year. I’m finally getting to a healthy place again, slowly but surely, and next year is looking up for not just myself, but everyone in the Crisis Point team.
I’ve said it before, but despite the long wait for v0.45, this update isn’t any larger than any previous update has been. I wasn’t working for a large portion of the year thanks to my mental health issues leaving me barely able to get out of bed some days, but I felt the need to get v0.45 out and finished, even if the size of it is disappointing to some people. Honestly, after all this time there’s no possible way I could make an update big enough to make up for the long wait, so I’ve just been crunching hard the past week to get what I could out of the door, so the team can start 2022 fresh and without the weight of 8 months of expectations keeping us down. Speaking of starting fresh, let’s look forward to v0.46, shall we?
