Hi Ryan, You could always make a serial list of problems sorted on priority and start at the top. But it doesn't mean that these problems are not related to each other and that you can't try and find solutions in a parallel way. Game Accessibility is not only an entertainment ("quality of life"

Hi Brandon, Like you said it will take quite a while, perhaps a month, to upgrade the core engine to 0.2 stable, but I feel it will all be worth it. In the end you will get a completely new installation, support for .NET Framework 2.0, hopefully better audio, better input, and several fixes alo
