Recently worked on the lightning visuals a bit! I'm pretty happy with them so far, will probably still tweak thing a bit as time goes on ๐ŸŒฉ๏ธโšก๏ธ๐ŸŒฉ๏ธ

Don't forget to build a lightning rod, it will come in handy!

I've always loved mini discs. I wish they were still a thing. I still have my old mini disc player and a bunch of discs.

Here's a little loading icon I made for Astoria, and it in-game ๐Ÿ’ฝ

Woah! there's a minidisc emoji?๐Ÿ’ฝ๐Ÿ’ฝ๐Ÿคฏ
