Hey, dreamers! Today’s major update increases the game’s base resolution to a whooping 1920x1080! Things will be a lot more spacious, not to mention crisp! To celebrate this 50% bump in resolution, the game will be 50% off in price for the next two weeks!
Accompanying this change is the makeover of various UI elements - including menus and dialogue - which have been revamped to offer a better user experience. That’s a lot to cover, so oversights might have been made in the process. Please help me out as usual and report anything strange you find. You guys rock!
On the side of gameplay-related changes, shop functionality has been streamlined for a smoother shopping experience, and the amount of currencies reduced. Additionally, I have shortened the number of waves fought in main quests to avoid player burnout and reduce frustrations suffered when being defeated by a quest’s respective boss.
