Working on fishy facts offline today:

• Copied TODOs from 20260916233837
• I would like to focus on getting the game running well on Steam Deck. At the last event, there was an issue with inputs being detected twice for some reason.
• It would be nice to get the game build on the Steam ecosystem so i can install directly from the Steam Deck UI rather than going to OS mode and sideloading the app.
• Anticipating on potentially receiving character sprite textures today from the artist, so I should prepare the code to use them as well.
