Development Update - January 2025

Studio Update!

Going forward we're doing monthly update builds on the first of each month.
These are going to be done on a separate build which you can read about below.
These builds will be highly unstable at times so please put in bug reports.
Depending on the severity of issues I will put out additional builds throughout the month.
Anyway, have fun!
