This patches brings some welcomed changes including settings on the main menu. Lots of various issues resolved and many improvements.
After the last set of patches I have started using an experimental branch. A few brave players have been playing on it and I believe it is now ready for everyone else. I plan to continue to put out patches for 0.2 but I am also going to start working on 0.3. Thank you everyone for your diligence with reporting issues and providing feedback!
Settings are now available on the main menu!!

Improvements

- Added a Early Access disclaimer that is displayed after launching the game
- Moved all player facing text over to locale file to better support future localizations
- Improved paragraph word wrapping
- Improved Ancient Device interface
- Automatic UI scaling now works off of resolution height rather than width
- Optimized UI memory usage

EDIT: Patched two small regressions with this patch so far including
- Resolved issue with game not launching correctly with no settings file
- Resolved issue with taking damage in emitted regions as if the region is not emitted
