The last time that we met with REDUX was on the 23rd. Since then, we have begun to single in on our ideas not only as individuals, but as a team. In order to do this, we had to section off who was going to focus on each aspect of the project. We also started organizing [...]

Little by little the Vat Shack progressively is getting [...]
