We've decided to just completely redo the website... once again... It took about 10 days, and honestly I'm not even sure HOW we managed to pull that off.
We've tried our best to condense everything down as much as we can, so you don't have to scroll or navigate as much. For this, we've not only been trying to use tabs more often, but we've also started to use sections that have independent scrollbars from the main website.
Now... it's a bit messy on mobile, but I hate .css so much. I'll fix it at a later time.

...I don't even know why we're talking about the website, it literally got ONE update on the FIRST DAY of May.
There's not much to talk about really: The Universes page felt necessary to add given future plans, the Favicon update was just to make it look better, and that's basically it. I guess we COULD talk about future plans. I won't go into too much depth as to not spoil too much, but we're planning at least one more update before we leave it alone for quite a while, not counting adding new information onto it or minor patches. That update is planned to revamp some of the pages to look better and refine some of the website's weaknesses.

We literally just mentioned the "Batch" format last Progress Update, but we ALREADY scrapped it.
We were originally planning to release Batch 1 as planned, however as I continued to make CHARACTER bios, it felt like I was just rushing everything. Because of that, we completely restarted, and by the time we had finished the "Parodees" and "Bakston's Essentials" sections, I had felt incredibly drained. I had decided to completely change our format for working and releasing:
Releases can either be tackled through only one section or sub-section in our internal CHARACTER list; or we can release them in "PACKs" based on specific groups of CHARACTERs, whether it be based on one of our Projects, a specific CHARACTER and their relationships, or anything else we deem makes sense.
We've been working with this format ever since May 18th, when we released the Parodees and Bakston's Essentials, and I think that, while it guarantees less content at one time, it'll make it easier to handle.

Ah... our mysterious second planned Universe as mentioned last month! I'll let Frenzy talk about how this one ended up going:

ALI MAN has STEPPED DOWN from his position to continue on with this universe... now it's ALL ME! (mostly, he's still just here)
- Frenzy

Yeah, I was kinda rushing this too, trying to get it done before May ended... not a very good start to a Universe, that's why I stepped down. Honestly, I think this is for the best, it'll definetely be better off without me worrying about arbitrary deadlines that aren't even actual deadlines in the first place.

Ah, our website. No matter what I end up doing, somehow we always end up coming back to it, even if I want to move on to another project. We were going to COMPLETELY move on from the website in April, yet somehow it ended up taking roughly half of April. There was just always something that I felt like needed to be tweaked, which is still the case. Yet, despite this, I think it was worth it, I think this month has had some of the best website tweaks out of any other month.
I think the website is VERY CLOSE to a state where I want to finally leave it, at least until we add some more pages.

The second half of April was on something that I wish took up MORE of April. We've been working with "Batches" to get our lovely critters out on the website, and for a while we only had "Batch PREP". But we ended up finishing "Batch 0" just in time for the end of April! We currently have 19 CHARACTERs, 3 ITEMs, and 9 ANIMALs; and we have PLENTY more to add, we won't be stopping any time soon!! Hopefully though, it won't take AS long to get Batches out consistently, though I can't make any promises on that, it can take a bit to make a CHARACTER, let alone multiple.

Upcoming, we have ONE MORE update for the Website planned before we finally move on, for now at least. After that, we're going to be taking a little break, rest a little bit. When our break is done, we'll be adding some more to the Discover Page, but not Bagelverse. That's right, we're finally dabbling in handling and showcasing more than just one of our Original Character Universes! Our main focus is still Bagelverse, it always will be, but I feel like some more things deserve the same kind of love we've been giving Bagelverse. Hope y'all enjoy that!!

As you may've noticed, Website v2.0 came out during this month. This update took about half of our work-time from March, barely anything else was worked on. And funnily enough, it was STILL not even ready after release, because I am stupid! Spaces in file names is a BAD idea with HTML! This is why we had to initiate a patch day of release, sorry about that! It shouldn't happen again now that it's known. Expect a Patch 2 sometime next month (though, then again, maybe don't, we don't like deadlines-).
We had also planned an April Fools joke for the Website, but unfortunately this joke would require new character designs, and... well, the next section will explain why we couldn't end up doing that in time. That will still be included, either on its own or for another year's April Fools prank.

Bagelverse, our pride and joy... I'm very indecisive about it sometimes-
I sometimes overthink design and style stuff, so basically as soon as Website v2.0 came out, I was ALREADY rethinking the designs and stuff for our goofballs, even though we had JUST updated the CHARACTER Art. We had gone through some iterations, a lot of terrible ideas, before landing on something... that didn't even last a week. Soon later, I realized how stupid I was being, and just decided to keep it the same, updating the render art and redesigning any characters that we felt needed it.
Another realization we came to is that, while The Anons are a fun idea, they're kinda... unnecessary due to how many CHARACTERs and ANIMALs we have for it (which will be added onto the website in time). Due to this, The Anons have been completely removed from The Bagelverse.

Well, uhh... Bagel Beats WAS supposed to be our next project, but we're kinda... putting it on hold. We don't exactly have any cohesive plans as of now, and we're debating whether to make it a native FNF mod in an FNF modding engine, or in an original engine. The former is way easier to perform, the latter allows for more creativity but is way harder. I do not know what our next project will be after Website v2.0.2, but we'll presumably be working on it throughout April after we figure out what it'll be.

We have finally added our "Discover" page, as mentioned on February 19th. There's not much there currently, but there's more than there was before! We've also updated a lot of assets to make them look better, because the old assets sucked. We also have an actual written CHANGELOG... which isn't available on the website yet. We plan to make it available at some point, thinkin' of an "Extras" page for this kind of stuff.
Seriously though, I am glad to finally show off some of the team's lovely critters properly, and I can't wait for the ability to show off even more!

I also wanted to directly state that we will try to release Monthly-Progress Updates. In these Monthly-Progress Updates, we will share everything we had done that month we feel like showing off. If a month isn't too productive however, we may just combine two Months into one Progress Update to make it more interesting.
