Hey Rat Punchers, Happy New Year!

As always, I like to write a blog post at the start of the year to recap, summarize my current plans for Shattered, and share what my main priorities are for the coming year.

Counterpoint on darts specifically: the fat tip can be for tipped darts. Currently, blinding dart looks way too similar to the untipped dart; fattening the tips on tipped darts is one solution.
