gollark: > On Sunday, baidicoot declared that the first demo would be released soon-ish (but not now). Although the engine was ready, some minor features like controls needed to be added before it met with the lord's approval. But, due to baidicoot's phenomenal genius, the demo was finished in just a few hours, uploading “epeleptic demo” to his GitHub at 2020-04-12 16:48 UTC+0100. This was the first release of EWO, v0.1.0.0, also known as “EPILEPSY DEMO”.
gollark: I agree.
gollark: True, true.
