Some current renovation to the timeline of Time Distortionists: era rings for eras in time, icons to determine what is happening on a Moment in time at a glance, more shader and particle work on the moments themselves. Still a WIP.

I work in AI for my day job, but deliberately chose not to use gen AI for art, music, or writing in my game.
Building this game has let me collaborate with incredibly talented people, and their creativity has made it better.
I'm very happy with that choice.
