Why did this update take so long

If you don't fancy reading the patch notes you can watch an update video here

First of all, I’m sorry this dev cycle took so long. I went on lots of tangents which didn’t bear many fruits. 

The first tangent was trying to get the game’s installer registered so players wouldn’t get a warning saying my game was a virus. However, it turned out I would have to pay a fee of around 100 pounds a year which didn’t make sense to pay in the current stage of development. After consulting fans of the game about how to approach this problem, I will give players the options to either installing the game or extracting it manually.

The second tangent was changing the input system. I initially swapped the games input system to use the new Unity input system. I found the new Unity input system clumsy and not fun to use at all so I searched for an alternative. This search led me to ‘Rewired’ after learning how it works, I have now successfully change the old input system to the new ‘Rewired’ input system.

After that, I did some refactoring of the games core mechanics and now adding new features will be much easier.
