Lore
“Who are those guys?”
“Some special team, they all showed up together and even got their own comms channel”
“That’s actually smart, I should find a team like that with fewer lone wolves running off to get themselves killed – no offense”
“None taken, just be careful not to bring in another trigger-happy idiot who gets the whole squad burned – oh yeah, no offense.”
“No promises.”

Technical Implementation
The biggest milestone: getting code signing working. With that in place, release version 0.06c moves one step closer to a clean, professional build.
Additional improvements include:
- Game executable icon
- Splash screen on launch
- Credits scroll implementation
- Profile data display system
UI Positioning
Strategic placement of visual elements:
- Credits scroll – left side above profile data
- Profile data – left side scroll panel
- Release notes – right side above leaderboard
- Splash screen – game launch overlay
Technical Challenges
Resolved key implementation hurdles:
- Code signing tool integration
- Icon export compatibility
- Resource compilation optimization
Next Steps
- Developer tools to authenticate iOS and Linux builds similar to Windows code signing
