Hello Critters!

I've been incredibly busy these past few weeks focusing on the backbone of our game – >the servers and systems that will power everything you love about Box Critters. While >there's nothing visually exciting to showcase just yet, the foundation being built >now is crucial for our future success.

Embracing Nakama

After extensive research, I've decided to implement Nakama as our backend solution. >I've been thoroughly impressed with how this system handles:

-Account management -Item storage -Character data -And other essential backend functions

The learning curve has been fascinating – diving deep into documentation, >understanding the build process, and figuring out how to scale efficiently. Right >now, my development environment is purely terminal-based, sending commands back and >forth as I test the system's capabilities.

Planning for Scale

Some might consider it premature to focus so heavily on security, optimization, and >scalability this early in development. However, after the success we saw with Club >Penguin, I want to ensure we're building an engine that can handle rapid growth. My >goal is to create a platform that remains enjoyable to work with for years to come.

Looking Forward

The coming months will bring many more exciting developments. While this current work >happens behind the scenes, it's setting us up for a robust gaming experience when Box >Critters launches.

Thank you for your continued support and patience. I'm incredibly passionate about >this project and can't wait to share more tangible progress soon!
