🥳 Closed release of v0.1.19! 🥳

Hey, hows it going?

Its been a busy weekend with a bunch of new people playing JumpDudes and sharing some incredible feedback with us! 

I had an absolutely amazing time meeting you all, playing with you, and taking down all your feedback and comments!

But now, as a new week starts, its time for a change of pace... I will be going back to a quiet hole where I can set up my laser focus to prioritise, sort and plan all of the changes needed. Then I will start implementing, fixing and optimising all of the things.

In fact, the work has already begun. I had a go at fixing everything that felt like a big deal while we were playing, and I am happy to announce version v0.1.19 has already been deployed, and introduces a bunch of bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements and most requested changes.

There is much more to come as I move onto the slightly harder changes I need to make, but here is the detailed changelog for v0.1.19:

That's all for this one, but there's so much more to come...

I'll be slowly working away on the list of changes unless anyone finds any big issues in this version, in which case I'll drop another hotfix for it... but so far it looks like its holding steady!
