-Level 1 Release Date-

Firstly, I really want to apologize for the delay. This update has taken a good chunk of my time and I didn't want to just neglect the base game and slap Level 1 onto it. A large part of this game's philosophy is making the base as strong as possible and building off from there.

That being said, I'm super excited to announce the official release date for Level 1!
Level 1 will be released on Friday, November 11th.
