 Hey there! This month i've been pretty busy but i've managed to work on the cards system quite a lot over the past few days among other things! Recently i've made the decision to make the "Cards" i've been talking about for a while "Skill Cards", and making all the other upgrades like Boosts and Survivors also cards, like "Survivor Cards" etc.  This is so I can make a menu that displays all the 'Cards' you've collected throughout the game, giving you a basic idea of where your at and how much you have left to unlock everything!
