We've been working a lot on testing branch since the last major update, and checking for any last balance requests. Now's a really good time to get more feedback in, as we're going to do the 1.0 Launch on May 26!
Any remaining requests for gamepad controller changes are valuable, along with tweaks to game balance, would be especially valuable for us to hear. We have drastically reduced corruption over time, and slightly decreased enemy appearances in cleared areas. We can do further tweaks before 1.0, there's still time!
