Final Thoughts
Outside of the game due to severe weather, loss of power, and internet issues over several days not as much work was finished as expected for the week. Instead, an emergency preparedness plan was deployed and tested that ensured everything was hard-backed up on-site, offsite backups were up to date, and other measures were followed. Everything was fine in the end and things will continue moving forward.
Next week will more than likely be a low amount of hours spent working on the project as other things will be taking priority. A weekly update may not be created. Due to two weeks being interrupted the plan to release the combat and loot demo by the end of the month looks unachievable and is expected to be pushed back till next month.
