Mini Blog:

This was an incredibly fun update full of high-highs and low-lows as I crashed head-first into some pretty horrible performance issues, but it led to a better outcome! I learned some things, made some friends along the way, and found a much happier balance in my visual effects, which up to this point had only been particle effects.

I also got to do some sound design w/ my daughter. The coin sounds are all homemade. We tested multiple bowls, multiple sizes of coin, and different dropping techniques. It was a lot of fun!
