O.K...

　　This isn't exactly what I had in mind to release today - an "early access" kind of build of the V.1 of REVEREND. Still, I really wanted to release something for Christmas - so here we are! If you encounter any big issues (you probably will) - please let me know in the comments, and I'll adress them asap!

　　What I didn't even realize until just a few days ago is that the original Doom celebrates its 30 year anniversary (and the same year as original Doom designer John Romero releases SIGIL II, the sequel to his phenomenal unofficial sixth episode to the of game). If I had been aware beforehand, I think I’d tried to push REVEREND out even earlier, for no real reason except being able to say that I managed to release it during the 30 year anniversary of one of the games that inspired not only it, but in large part shaped my interest in the FPS genre and gaming overall.

　　This entire project was supposed to only last over the summer. Then my ambition grew, and I had to adapt, while keeping my ambition under control, not letting it go overboard. I think my original design documents go back a little over a year, while the actual work on this version started about five or six months ago, looking at the earliest project files. I’ll continue the work on more stable and more developed builds, of course, but it feels so good having released something like REVEREND within 2023.

　　Have fun!
