NOTE: This update is very big, and changes some core mechanics!

IT IS HEAVILY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU MAKE A NEW SETTINGS PROFILE!

Regarding future updates:

The game is now in a state I am happy with, and while there are many things I would consider adding, I can't financially support myself enough to work on this game a lot at the moment. So there will be more updates, but they will be very in-frequent.

THAT BEING SAID, I have set up a patreon at https://www.patreon.com/c/UltimateJOIDev, and if we gain enough members I will be able to dedicate a lot more time to working on this game.

Members will get early access to any future updates, and will get to vote on what features are included in those updates (Once there are enough members to vote that is) Check it out :)
