+## 2020-02-03
+* Formed SemiColin Games LLC!
+* Set up DigitalOcean account, configured cloud machines, & made a placeholder website at <https://semicolin.games>.
+* Explored some devblog options... didn't really settle on a choice yet though.
+* Added histogram-based performance counters.
+* Partial work on vision / line-of-sight algorithm.
+
+## 2020-01-27
+* Wrote some [new collision-detection code](../../tree/master/Shared/Geometry.cs) and started using it (along with Bresenham's algorithm) in Player.Update().
+* Started to implement a field-of-view algorithm.
+* Updated player sprite to a "ninja" asset. Added tool for importing more sprites from the same pack.
+* Debug now keeps debug rects & lines when the game is paused.
+* Bound player & camera positions by edges of the world.
+* Tried (but failed) to upgrade to built-from-head MonoGame.
+
+## 2020-01-20
+* Implemented [Bresenham's line-rasterization algorithm](../../tree/master/Shared/Line.cs), along with unit tests for it.
+* Added ability to draw said lines to screen via Debug.AddLine().
+* Converted Debug.Toast -> Debug.AddToast() (allowing for multiple toasts per frame).
+* Implemented "pause" functionality.
+* Added a Clock class and separated model time from wall-clock time in World.Update() and friends.
+* Converted World from a dense Tile[][] representation of static obstacles to a sparser List<Tile>.
+
+## 2020-01-13
+* Installed MonoGame SDK 3.8.0.970 from their development branch. Upgraded OpenGL project to .NET framework 4.7.2.
+* Added unit tests to History (#17).
+* Added Input struct to abstract away gamepad & keyboard inputs (#5) and make mutually-incompatible directional inputs cancel each other out (#7).
+* World can now load non-rectangular input strings without erroring out.
+* Refactored Player.HandleInput to be a bit cleaner.
+
+## 2020-01-06: Infrastructure Week
+* Thought of a potential company name. Bought the domain & did a first pass of logo design.
+* Investigated GitHub / GitLab / Phabricator; chose to stick with GitHub (free) for now.
+* Set up G Suite & some skeletal Google Cloud infrastructure (including placeholder webpage).
+* Renamed project codename from "Jumpy" to "sneak".
+* Set up copybara pipeline to make a public mirror of parts of the repo.
+* Converted TODOs in the codebase into proper GitHub issues.
