I try to be very transparent -- I posted an update the last time I was migrating RPG Architect to Avalonia 11, since I think some folks were worried I got hit by a bus:

I'm on a quick trip that will last about a week.

As such, the quick and frequent updates, that many have grown accustomed to, will cease until sometime next week.

Support will be provided/maintained in the Discord, per usual, and moderators for the Steam boards will continue to be handling things. If there is a more technical question, I'll do my best to answer when I get back.

An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include:
