Hey gladiators! This is the Xmas holidays so I'm not technically working on the game until early next year, but I was able to sneak in a few nights this week to address some bugs and balancing issues as well as finish off a new camera option , the zoomed out camera. It needs a bit of refining but it also includes horizontal buttons instead of the radial buttons (just so the zoomed out view isn't too obscured. If these are popular, I might make it a proper option in the game settings.
Also something to note - now when you walk, you regain some stamina. This is just to make it so there's a little more action and a little lest resting in battles. Let me know what you think!
I've also potentially fixed the 5-6 second turn delays that were happening ( didn't note this as a fix as I'm not 100% sure it works.)
Alright everyone, enjoy and let me know what you think and what needs balancing!

Patch Notes for V0.8.3.A
--- NEW FEATURES ---
• Added extra Zoomed Out Camera option ( experimental ) . This camera has horizontal buttons at the bottom of the screen so you can better see the action
--- BATTLE CHANGES / FIXES ---
• You now *gain* some essence back by walking - 20% of what you would while resting. The logic being it's kind of a restful thing to do - this also allows characters to not waste all their energy on walking and therefore they can use more skills, making battles more fun
• Fixed a bug where Golems using Rock of Ages could still have limbs ripped off once effect wore off
• Fixed a bug where if cutscenes were turned off , incorrect music would play in dungeon / halloween battles
• The UI Armour Shield Icon will no longer display for gladiators entering battle with no armour
--- SHOP FIXES CHANGES ---
• Potential fix for weapon item inventory panels not always showing items as being equipped
• Now if you unequip your main weapon while holding an alt weapon, the off hand weapon will become your main
• Fixed a bug where changing shops after selecting a sub category would show that category in the next shop ( eg shop for swords, go to armourers, sword category would appear for a moment)
--- MISC FIXES AND CHANGES ---
• Fixed a bug where the Stellar Crystal cost (from the LFK shop) was not reduced by having the Industrialist Talent
