We finished a huge amount of what we set out to do!

  • Finish Swamp Grotto ✓

  • Finish Mirabella Cove (Mostly) ✓

  • Battle Pass code & Battle Pass #1 & Battle Pass #2 ✓

  • Move to AWS ✓

  • New Boxes ✓

  • Guild promote/demote/fixes and Guild GUI ✓ (Still needs work)

  • Finish Tier 1 ✓

  • GUI rewrite work ✓

  • Server reorg rewrite work ✓

  • Public API setup with website ✓

  • Auto blog from Patreon posts ✓

  • Market ✓

  • Steam Electron version ✓

  • Optimizations ✓

Zones just take a lot of time between map, mobs, drops, quests, and skills so I'll be more conservative with mapping those out this time. Groups/Parties, Achievements, and a few other things just didn't make it in time. Ok, let's map out the future now that we have a better understanding of how much time things take to get done!
