Hello again!

IT'S HERE! Took me long enough.

If you're here for the first time, welcome! Please give the game a play and tell me what you think! I'd really appreciate some constructive criticism, as this is the first game I've ever made.

If you've actually been reading the devlogs as they came, sorry for a lack of written updates recently. I've been working as much as I could on finishing the game, so I didn't give myself any time to write more devlogs. You might have noticed that I actually went through with calling this version "1.0.0" instead of "0.7.0." Just to clear up any confusion, I was GOING to call this version 0.7.0, but I realized that basically every feature in the game was done and all I had to do was clean things up for a final build, so I decided I'd just skip 0.7 through 0.9 and call it a day. There are no secret 0.8 or 0.9 builds, but just because I feel weird about not posting anything in a while, I also included the unfinished build I used in the trailer in the Old Versions download. Check that out if you want to play a version of the game that's similar to, but objectively worse than, the final product.

Anyway, tomorrow marks A WHOLE YEAR since I released 0.6.1. I don't really know why things played out like that. Like before, my college semester is starting soon, so expect any news about new games to slow drastically. Unlike last time, though, I think I will be developing something behind the scenes during the semester. Don't know what yet, though - probably some small, 30-level puzzle game.

I'm also probably going to write a postmortem and analyze my experience making this game. I have a lot to say on that front, and I'd rather save that for another time. I don't want this one to be too long, otherwise no one would read it. Speaking of devlogs, I've thought about un-publishing a lot of the old monthly check-ins. They're mostly just me complaining about things. Then again, it's not like I have anything to hide, so I'm probably going to leave 'em up.

Anyway, that's all I've got for now. Thank you so much for reading and checking out mARS!
