While this has been going on for quite a while, I have not been updating the Itch.io website for a long time. So, there is a disconnect between what is displayed on this, and what is actually being done.

What has been happening for the past year or so is a complete rewrite of the game in C++.

The game had come to a point where certain aspects were slow to render and process. Java just does not compare to the speed of C++, both on rendering and on processing speed. Yes, we could have changed to LWJGL for rendering the game, but since most of the code was on the UI, if we rewrote the UI, we might as well rewrite the entire game. Along with that, there's a lot more tools available for OpenGL in C++ compared to Java.

The old java version's source code is still available, archived in the same repository. The new repository can be found here.
