Uh, I'm sorry, chat. I'm being slightly messaged by HR at the moment. I'm fine, by the way. I think it's like, hang on, you're fired. It's like the one the one if I see their face pop up. I'm like, that's the one thing I will check because, Yeah, just in case. Yeah, you never know. Uh, but everything is fine. I love the game and the quality of the handcrafted map. Thank you. Um, oh, nice. But does a future exist where we could possibly be given tools to build our own maps? Kind of like Halo Forge. So, the interesting thing about this is that I wonder since Unreal Engine is free to download for anyone, if until they like reach a certain point of commercial use or do any commercial use I think for it. I wonder if there's a way for us to like like if you make a map within certain parameters in Unreal with those same tools whether you can sort of attach it. I do believe this will probably be a lot of work on our end still. Like making actual map creator would be a ton of work and since we used Unreal's like sort of like in-house tools, it wouldn't make sense for us to rebuild them in any way. So, just trying to like if we can like let Unreal do most of that heavy lifting maybe. But I really don't know if that is going to be compared to like other things that we could be doing. I think that one isn't super high on the list. Um because just just of like weighing like impact versus like cost on our end. I don't know. I don't know if if if this was if this is like easy to do somehow, that could be a really cool win. But, it it also kind of depends, I think, on the versatility of like, can we import things in this game and what would happen if you have multiplayer? How do we share those files? it it's a bit of a can of worms, but yeah, I think it would be cool. But that, you know, my my opinion does not affect how difficult something is, unfortunately. And if you get that, you could also you as in you chat could also finally build your own snow biome. Yeah, exactly. Like you can finally finally get off my back. Oh, yeah. I don't know. It's it's a it's a bit of a complicated one and it would require some a bunch of research on our end to see how possible this is. And I'm not sure if there are enough people either passionate about that or willing to to spend time on this thing versus other cool things that we could be doing. It's Yeah. Apparently I am the snow biome today. I am very not my face but your shirt. Glowy absolved. Absolve.
