I reworked the input system to use Unity's new input system. Hopefully this fixes some of the hard to track controller bugs that seemed to not be consistent across devices. Haven't tested if it broke steam remote play, but I don't think it should have. I also fixed up the menu a bit to use screen space rather than pixels, which hopefully fixes the visual bug where they buttons didn't line up well with the tower. Clicking the buttons is fixed too, I think. Lastly you can now use any input for the tutorial, depending on what control scheme you opened the tutorial with.

Alchemist is the first piece of art from my new artist! She is pretty busy with college apps right now, so I had to do all the animations still (so don't blame her if they are still kind of weak), but I am very excited to have her talent on the team. Next month I plan to get one more character out, then I am going to focus on game modes until she can get caught up a bit updating some of the old art so we can have a more unified (and appealing) art style.

Lastly wanted to wish everyone a happy Halloween this month. Hope you all have some fun battles with our resident snow vampire, Cold Blooded Caster, and our new witchy potion brewer, Alchemist. I'll have one more Halloween appropriate character coming out in the 0.5 update, so I might release it a day early so it comes out on Halloween itself. Happy spooky times!
