Coding can feel like a series of blinking cursors and endless troubleshooting. Ever wonder why so many tutorials miss the mark? With different OSs and environments, it’s like a game of roulette! I prefer sharing the real journey—deep dives and honest post-mortems. What do you think? #coding #dev

For anyone wondering - the 2.0 is an upgrade to the whole of The Wickie - anyone who owns a copy will automatically be upgraded to version 2. I do not believe in charging for updates.

Current estimate puts the release of 2.0 at the 1st of May - that gives me time to work out the kinks (hoho) and make the game as polished as I can. After the 2.0 release I will put up the roadmap for the 2.1-2.4 Releases.

Apologies for the lack of posts recently. As a one person organisation, my job is either social media or working on the update and the update won. I will be posting interesting information regarding the 7 gig patch (jesus...) and the many pages of patchnotes and updates soon.
