Today's update - we finished the launch image sequence! Here it is in all of its glory:
And, here's the state of the to-do list:
It is REALLY starting to hit home that we're only 1-2 months of polish away from being able to release this thing! It makes me a bit emotional - I've spent the past 3 years practicing game dev with countless game jams and unfinished projects, but this feels like the first REAL thing I'm gonna see through to the finish line.
I'm feeling very proud of myself, and also just very humbled at how any video games ever get created at all! Even just a simple arcade game like this is taking SO MUCH effort... it's a miracle every time a new game is born I suppose 
Hope y'all are doing well, and thanks for coming along so far on this ride!! Excited to continue bringing XTRIS to life together with y'all
