    <!-- Introduction -->
    <header>A Fresh Coat of Paint</header>
    <text>
        <b>Welcome to the new and improved suzzy games website!</b>
    </text>
    <text>
        Absolutely everything on this site has been either upgraded or replaced
        entirely. The blog system went from janky to proper, pages are now full
        of content and trivia instead of being half-baked, and a new library was 
        built. <h>More on this later!</h> 
        I dedicated an entire weekend to turn this site from potato to french
        fry. I absolutely love how it looks now and I hope you do too.

    <!-- New Feature: oAuth2 -->
    <header>Introducing oAuth2</header>
    <text>
        <b>Are you a developer? Then this chapter is for you!</b> Applications 
        and oAuth2 are now available for everybody! This allows third-party 
        developers to safely access your profile and the game data that 
        <b>you</b> decide to share with them.
    </text>
    <text>
        New features and subsequent documentation on those features will become 
        available for developers in the library. 
        <h>Which brings us to the next topic...</h>

    <!-- New Feature: Developer Docs -->
    <header>Building a Library</header>
    <text>
        <a href='/library'>The library</a> is a new section of the suzzy website!
        It contains legal stuff, branding guidelines, and most importantly 
        documentation for developers. If you're really bored check out the 
        <a href="/library/home/branding" target="_blank">branding article</a>! 
        It contains little bits of trivia on all past suzzy projects.

    <text>
        <b>Introducing BECCA2D!</b> An <i>in-house 2D Game Engine</i> designed
        from the ground up to be lightweight, efficient, extensible, and run in
        Google Chrome. <h>sorry firefox users :p</h>
    </text>
    <text>
        I'm planning on using this engine in a new side-project, a side-scrolling
        style platformer fangame based on a certain fish vtuber I've taken a liking
        to recently. This fangame also shares a considerable amount of features with 
        Project Monke, so this will also serve as a personal training ground of sorts. 
    </text>
    <text>
        But that's all I'm sharing about this side-project for today! I'll be making 
        a dedicated post on the engine showcasing its features, design, and reasoning
        soon™
