Data for 5 lines completed. Lines are now prefabs and loaded through the data files instead of manually created.
Added Slideshow mode, switching selected train view every 10 seconds
Working build with multiple train lines
Updates to make distances and travel times more accurate. New statistics displayed on screen such as location (lat and lon), speed (m/s, km/h, mph), time since last station, and total time. Station data such as name and location are now read from a CSV file.
New station model. Reworked map, now static overlay. Reworked title screen.

January 2024

• Bag Boy - New release with updated gameplay and graphics

October 2023

• Migrated site to new server. Working on getting website components working again. (main site, workshop wiki, leaderboards, historical pages).
• Looks like I lost the Jetpack stats for the main site. A real disappointment, since it contained visit statistics for almost 10 years.
• Thinking about putting the leaderboard scores on its own subdomain (such as scores.levidsmith.com), but want to avoid having to update URLs compiled into game projects.
• Removed many of the old game wiki pages with little information. Current plan is to use the workshop (wiki) for development documentation for new projects, then have the "official" pages on the main levidsmith.com site. That should keep a clear separation between development and release information for projects.
• Fewer games created this year due to burnout. Want to spend the time I do have on making existing games better and create fewer throwaway projects.
