Please believe in me, folks! ❤️
Menu is getting a bit more done every day.

"Recurrent thematic blurbs" may be set to either "Reset on New World Seed", "Reset on New Game" or "Never Reset". With 3rd option they will only show up once, then never bother you again.

Things left to do, so #ruinsOfCalaworm can go gold:
- Difficulty sliders
- m/f archetype selection
- Name input
- Display Credits (in menu)
- Display Highscores (in menu)
- Option screen (custom keybindings)
- Write & display Intro Story
- 2 more maps

❤️ for your ongoing support and patience.❤️

The Nintendo GameCube (2001) is now as old as the Atari 2600 (1977) was when the Nintendo GameCube was released.

Menu is slowly coming together. Lotsa sketchy tricks to gaslight my engine into doing stuff as intended ...😅👀
There's no Roguelite-style progression, but all Story- and Lore notes you find are persistent achievements, and now you can also browse them in the Main Menu:

Added a "Completion%"-display. Some content/tools automatically unlock based on progression (amount of Story/Lore pages collected), so for those who want to truly grind it out, I thought it would be nice to provide some basic feedback.
