In this devlog I started building a launcher from scratch which can automatically update the game's files. Having this sort of functionality in place is extremely convenient when it comes to distributing updates as it removes the hassle of manually sending the game's files to testers with every new version. I'm pretty happy with the UI and how far I got in this devlog, but among other things, I still need to allow the launcher to automatically update itself.

I'll be using this launcher for alpha & beta testing when I get to that stage, although I'm not entirely sure about any official releases yet.
