2019-03-27 Continued Work on Tools
Written by Iceblade
Unfortunately, the team has been finding it difficult to have time available for development over the past few years.

For those of you who are regularly on UDIC Facebook, you will probably have seen me comment on Forgotten World's status. For those who haven't seen my comments, the gist is that I've been pre-occupied with my Dissertation over the past two years and this effort involved a significantly greater portion of my attention.
