There likely will not be any more casual posts on this account, just big project updates. I'm scouting the site where skies are bluer (search for "s1xplus"), but haven't decided yet how active I'll be there either. Let's keep chasing new challenges!

There are plenty of other little improvements too, mostly outside of the cave run, but getting this next version wrapped up was important, as maybe I'll get to promote it more? Enjoy version 0.6 starting tomorrow!
