About the Project
This is something I have decided to make for fun, in my spare time. I do not commit to a regular development schedule, and this is not something that is my area of expertise. It's simply a way to unwind and do something fun. I definitely want to improve it and welcome constructive criticism (you can tell me it sucks, but please tell me why it sucks or how it can suck less).
If you have feedback, requests, or wish to report a bug, please email me at dbrpggt [at] gmail.com. I will try to respond when I can.
