I am happy to see that there are still quite a few people sticking alongside Project Explore while I sort everything out and prepare the game for it's steps into the world of "solid indie games". I bring to you... more features I had previously implemented but now are being re-implemented for mod support.

Seabass Is Back From Vacation
I am back from vacation and diving right back into my full-time job, game development, and trying to keep every one of you happy. I feel refreshed but exhausted. I think the years of non-stop work and lack of sleep finally hit me while I was on my vacation. I will make sure to avoid procastination so that we may see Project Explore begin to reach its true potential before the end of the year!
Thanks To The Real Fans
Thank you to all of you that believe in my work and my ability as a game developer. This has been a dream come true and I will not stop until this game is at the very least, my best work. From my experience on greenlight to my battle against time to push updates, it has all been a fun, and memorable journey. I have never felt so supported in my endeavors. I remember seeing the first reviews and nearly being in tears. It seemed almost impossible that anyone would ever enjoy a game that I had created. My 10+ years of self-teaching and practice had finally paid off.
I will never believe that I am honestly a "good" or even a "decent" game developer. But what I do know is that I work hard at providing the most personal and genuine experience I can for each, and every supporter.
Thank you for every shred of motivation/hope you have given me.
