As of today, the game is feature complete and all we're doing is just playing it over and over (we're on like playthrough 7 or so now) to see if we can find happy accidents that need weeding out.

Here's a short list of things you can do in this game:
- you can sleep on a bench
- you can enjoy refreshing beverages from a vending machine that refills every day
- you can take part in a quiz show
- you can discover the secret home of the birds
- you can build a snowman
- you can eat gravel
- you can go camping
- you can donate to a charity
- you can wear a top hat and monocle
and of course...
- you can buy an unreasonable amount of sand

All of that looks really cool Enjl! You've done some great work.

On Saturday September 12th at 9AM EST me (and maybe some of the other devs depending on their availability) will do a livestream playthrough of the entire game, pulling back the curtain a little on how and when all the levels came to be, what changes happened during development, and what interesting tidbits may be missed during a regular playthrough. Tune in if that's something that interest you!

During the stream we sometimes alluded to an image detailing the order in which levels were made. Here is that image:
