Work Period

• Appleseed gave some build errors which previously weren't there, maybe it happened because I have accidentally moved some files
• I have my semester end exam on May 30th, couldn't focus on this because of that. Will try to fix it the next day.

• Fixed the error, had to clear the path to dependencies and add them again. The root cause is still unknown, but hopefully it doesn't occur again.
• Made changes to the development environment using python poetry (helps manage virtual environments better)

• UPDATE: will work on updating build logic for now, once I have enough time (i.e., after my final exams are over on June 8th) I will switch the development environment to Linux as that will make things a lot easier for me.
