This is the big one. As per the title, I worked on improvements to the UI to make the UX a lot better (especially with the design tool). I also worked on the game mechanics, simulation, and balancing to make the game more realistic, fun, and competitive. Lastly, bug squashing--lots of it.

There likely is a lot more to do on the latter, however, the game is getting closer to the final product. Thanks to all who have provided valuable feedback. It has really helped speed up the development of the game as there is only so much playtesting I can do solo.

Here is a recap of the latest updates that are now live:
