Still alive and kicking (despite life kicking my butt a bit). Here's a quick little update on things: studioalemni.com/news/2026-up... I genuinely have such limited time & bandwidth these days, so I probably will remain a social media ghost to save that energy for the game devvin'

I've been watching Riggy pour his soul into this game for the last couple of years, and it has come together so beautifully. So excited to see it finally released! Be sure to check this gem out & share it around!!
