Greetings! + March Commit Log (Patreon)

first order of business, hi!

wow, we have gotten a lot of new faces around here in the last month or so and we are continuing to do so! I know that a few of you want to just get the beta and be on your way, and that is okay. but I also have gotten the impression from chatting around that the much greater majority of our newcomers have been people following the project for years and years who didnt know about the patreon, couldn't support before, just wanted to give back, etc. so to everyone regardless of your circumstances or how long you hope to stay for,

g r e e t i n g s !

you are very welcome here and the support means and helps so much for all of us, thank you so much for hanging in there for the very end and i really really hope the final version to be all that you hope for!*
*gen 8 not withstanding, im sorry-- i cant--

onto the content,
here we are with the march log of commit names! 

if you are wondering what the heck any of this is, basically a 'commit' is someone on the team saving changes to the development copy of the game. some of the commit names give you insight into the development process, some might leave you guessing, and some of them are just plain silly.

these are some of the commits during the month of march, so we're going from partway through multi-testing through the end of beta wave 1. as always, these are posted anonymously, without context, occasionally redacted, and in order from oldest to newest.

now i'm in a weird limbo where i'm collecting cats to talk about but so much of it is from spoiler content, and some  of you have already cleared that spoiler content, and some of you are rapidly approach it, and others are very slowly approaching it, and others still aren't in the beta yet

okay, if you're in that last group and reading that... i mean... don't tell anyone this... but i think you deserve an olive branch before community, ne? we'll see how it shakes out.

anyway, post content is a little ????????? but i'm sure i can find some things. still, this may be one of the months where we let the game speak for itself

one final announcement before i go today-- i am going to be cutting off the battle tower trainer additions in an upcoming patch. maybe not the next one, but probably the patch after that.  i'll make a note to follow up with everyone before then, but after that it would be risky to get those in late. so just a heads up if you haven't gotten yours in, final chance will be soon! 

cheers, loves, and thank you all so so so much for the positivity and support through these times <333
