Hey everyone. With 2014 just about over, I thought now was the time to bring up what we did this year. Before diving into the list, some things I'd like to mention. There are a number of very large-scaled projects not included in this list that are still in development. While I can't delve deep into what all of them are, months and months of work went into the planning, designing, and coding, and I do hope to share those with you in my upcoming announcements next year. It's something I'm pretty excited to start doing. Without further ado...
