Changing of Plans with Public Release and the Avatar World (Hopefully for the better)

Hello!! I‘ve been doing a lot of thinking recently about how I want to approach things because, well, I‘m frustrated with my own progress on the phonodroid world and I think shifting around things to ease the pressure off of it will end up better for me and everyone else. It’s no secret tha...
