in the final stretch another bug has crept into the Beacon of Stars and Assembly Code and causes crashs when you enter the Beacon Control Room.

Hi,
I just looked over the results of the Patron Polls and Public Polls on my 2025 Project.
I thought it would be a close race between Witches Academy Style Game and SJX Continuation but the result so far seems very clear in SJX Favour on all platforms (didn't do an 2024-07-25 07:23:31 +0000 UTC View Post
