1. Aftereffect development is going very well! The main new minigame that's been stuck in development is almost done, and it looks like we're reaching the homestretch! Here is also a picture of the title screen of the game

2. Backstretch refers to either: (1) the portion of an oval racetrack on the far side of the grandstand, parallel to the homestretch, or, (2) particularly in North America, the area near the racetrack where horses are stabled and the daily work of maintaining the horses occurs.
