As each week passes we get closer to our goal of having a working demo and are nearly there. This week we continued with implementing our Citizen List and Matchmaking functionality, as well as continued creating our settings menu art elements. But before we get into the details of what was worked on this week we want to welcome our newest team member Hunter Hoyt. Welcome! Hunter has joined us as a QA Play Tester and will be focused on testing and logging bugs and issues from various features and mechanics within Shadows of Glory.
