I’ve been continuing to try my best to clock in some hours toward fleshing out the Rhythm Quest level editor! Here’s some quick demos of what is now possible in the editor:

I’ve been kinda radio-silent over the past month. The first part of that was due to simply not getting that much done, but in the latter half of the month I had a better (and more exciting) reason for foregoing updates: I’ve been hard at work building out the initial…
