This patch includes major updates to several game systems including level generation and combat. It also includes bug fixes and some behind the scenes changes to improve performance.
This patch aims mainly to enhance the visuals and improve networking.
This patch focuses on revamping the level generation system as well as a few bug fixes. I will be continuing to improve the level generation and this update provides some fundamental changes (custom random scripts, better placement logic, etc) that provide a solid foundation.
This patch contains a few tweaks to game mechanics and quality of life additions that, while subtle, offer marked improvement to the feel of the game.
A quick note on when to expect updates: during the summer (from now until the end of September) I will be releasing updates sporadically and mainly focusing on improving current features and bug smashing. Going forward into October and beyond you can expect more frequent and regular updates with more content.
