Who is garnish

Gigaverse game dev is 60 days behind on racing feature due to building a custom 4D physics AI rendering engine launching next week. Core systems (leaderboards, fishing, crafting, marketplace, dungeons, skills) have shipped over the past year with bootstrap funding from @1confirmation. This appears to be a sustained, iterative game development cycle rather than vaporware.
