Summary
The holiday season is upon us, so things have slowed down a little so that everyone can spend time with friends and family, that doesn't mean we're at a complete stop though! Remember, we doubled our team size last month! We now have 8 developers working on the project, it was a bit of work getting everyone squared away but we're on track!

The future
We'll be working on performance optimizations (CPU/GPU) and refactoring code (to make it cleaner/clearer) very soon in preparation for Console development. We've received Xbox One Devkits and are very excited to start work on it. We also have the PS4 Devkit.
More localization of languages will happen as well.
We'll be updating the demo with all the new things very soon.
