Dev Update 12
This Week in Macabre
As we gear up for Macabre's first public debut at SXSW Sydney, our team is putting in tireless efforts to ensure all systems work together seamlessly. We're now on the cusp of our first build, a significant milestone, showcasing our ability to create a cohesive experience by integrating all our systems.
