Update time! This one focuses heavily on balance but also includes some UI updates and some new visuals too. You can find the patch notes below, but first a few comments about the things we are working on.
Balance
We have an eye on balance! In this update we tried to reduce the effectiveness of some of the massively overtuned items, while also bringing up some of the underpowered things. More updates to come.
Polish
In addition to UI updates and improvements, we are working on new art. Some are included in this update, but more to come such as new hotkeys.
Audio Variety
Soon we will have an updated sound system. This will give us the ability to add some variety to sounds, making the game sound more dynamic. We will also be adding and tweaking sounds in the coming update.
New Content
Without saying too much, we think elders, gifts, difficulties and other systems that add uniqueness to each playthrough are fun! More to come…
