Thirty years ago today I made the final gold masters for Monkey Island. Some notes about these. These are the final source backups I made when the game left test and the gold masters were sent off. They are labeled 1.1 because the game got bounced out of test during the final two weeks and so the version got bumped when it went back in. For the younger readers out there: These are not USB devices and you can't text your friends or watch TikTok videos on them.

Harvest Island OST Inspired by Violet Evergarden. Harvest Island Music. A Peaceful Place in The Nightly Woods. The piece is called “A Peaceful Place In The Nightly Woods” and it took me nearly 3 days to write. This is a piece that I love so much. It has a playful charm to it. Most video games now when you explore during the night, the music becomes creepy, or ominous, and the speed of the music slows down.

Some regressions were noticed after the release though, so we decided that Godot 3.2.3 would focus mainly on fixing those new bugs to ensure that all Godot users can have the most stable experience possible. Here's a fifth Release Candidate for the upcoming Godot 3.2.3 release.
