~Migration of Legacy Versions~
Versions V1.2~V1.5 have finally been moved to @Terratopia. For some reason that took more time than I thought, but I'm glad I finally stopped procrastinating.
(Wow I managed to spell procrastinating in one shot)

~The Delay of V1.7.0~
Sorry, I straight-up just forgot to roll out 1.7 yesterday. I apologize for forgetting, and I decided to move the release to Tuesday because that seemed like the most logical option (yes I am busy on Tuesday, but I think I have enough time to roll out an already-completed update.)

~Release Announcement~
V1.7.0, the Late Spring Update, has been released. Enjoy!!

~Surprise Update!!~
V1.7.1, The Happy Birthday Drop, has been released because I wanted to do something special for my birthday
It doesn't add that much, but it does add a new block, so I decided to call it a “Drop” instead of a “Patch”.
Here's how I distinguish them (as of now):
An Update changes the game in significant ways, adding many new blocks, items, and gameplay features.
Patches focus more on optimization and bug fixing.
Drops are smaller updates that aren't big enough to be called updates, but usually adds new blocks/items. It is done when I want to release something relatively small at an irregular schedule.
It's not that big of an update, but enjoy
I just realized some of the notes in the happy birthday song are off key oh my gah

~Random Thoughts~
I've recently realized that, I've been prioritizing quantity over quality when it came to adding features to Terratopia. So, I decided to start focusing on polishing/updating existing features with questionable game design. V1.7.2 will have a lot of quality-of-life changes, so stay tuned

~V1.7.2 Devlog~
Yes, I've been working on this for a couple of days now, it's currently in a near-finished state. I can confirm there are a lot of QoL changes.
say PaPa from Darius II is a banger

~Release Announcement~
V1.7.2, The Optimization Drop, is out. Enjoy marginally better game design!!

~V1.8.0 Devlog~
I was originally going to call this minor patch 1.7.3, but I made the fatal mistake of adding weapon animations/particles, which led to me making more animations, and more weapons thanks to the new “Tag” system from 1.7.2 making things more convenient…
I'm not sure how much I will work on this update, if I'm really motivated it might be ready for next Tuesday, but I just don't know. I don't have a clear plan, just adding QoL stuff until I'm happy. All I can say is, just expect a new weapon or two…

~V1.8.0 Devlog~
The next update will have 4 brand-new weapons. I finished working on three of them. There is one other major feature I thought of, so stay tuned
(Current progress: around 60% finished, though I might want to add some new music.)
I may have buffed the boss fight a little too much though…

A sneak peek on the building side of the update…
Did I cook with the tatami

…and the combat side of the update.
Just expect a lot of weapons okay

~V1.8.0 Devlog~
The update is 80% complete. Most of the features that I wanted to add for the update are already implemented (though I scrapped one, ask me later about it if you're curious), but there is one feature that I'm not sure whether to add or not.
Cardboard. It's basically another building material that turns wet when exposed to rain. I really like the concept of wet cardboard, but I just don't think it's a good fit with Terratopia's style. I'm also not sure on how I can draw it (as seen with my previous sneak peek, I cooked pretty hard with the graphics for this udpate). Should I implement it, scrap it, or maybe postpone it?

pretty good tbh

Thank you for your feedback!! Do you have any suggestions on how I can improve the game?

sorry you have to wait 60 seconds between posts

~V1.8.0 Devlog~

The update is 90% complete. Expect it to release next Tuesday or the one after.

After a bit of brightness change and a few other filters, I think I have an idea.

What's your prediction?
Also, V1.8.0 has been completed and ready for release, though there might be a surprise waiting for people who are going to become Shakespeare…

And yes, Mysterious Cardboard will be in the update, and you will automatically get one at the start of the game because you suggested it
