Animal Bombers also became an AI experiment

• Added notifications when an administrator replies to a ticket.

A lot of work happened behind the scenes

That is the compact version. The chat room is still the center of the project, but the world around it now has more places to explore, more ways to play, and more reasons for people to stay around long enough to meet someone.
