Hey everyone, 

First of all, a cool milestone: we officially passed the 100 mark and are now sitting at 116 Steam Wishlists! I honestly don't think it's a bad result for a solo dev with zero marketing budget.

**The Spam Nightmare:** However, my email campaign has been a complete disaster. I tried using a paid service, and recently I even tried sending emails manually one by one... and they *still* go straight to the spam folder. I really don't want the people who kindly signed up on the website to think I am ignoring them. If any indie devs or marketing wizards here have any advice on how to configure things so my domain stops hitting the spam folder, I would be forever grateful!

*(By the way: if you gave me your email and never received the link to register your custom Captain, please PM me here or contact me at info@dominusorbismaris.com!)*

**Programming Progress:** There isn't much visual stuff to show today, it's been a heavy week of pure coding. I have been working on the NPC AI, specifically making the cities build and expand themselves in a logical, organic way based on the economy. And... it's actually succeeding! The AI is finally making smart town-planning decisions instead of just dropping houses randomly.

Once the system is 100% polished, my plan is to record a visual timelapse of an AI city either being born and prospering, or slowly dying and being abandoned. I can't wait to show it to you.
