Holiday Greetings!
This patch introduces miniboss encounters, some new rare events, clearer biome separations and many new items. It's a big patch so apologies if we missed to list anything.
While working on the next area we have made some pretty major changes to the itempool of Woodland. Mainly moving all Stun items to the next area along with some other items that fit other areas better, flavor wise. To compensate for the items moved out of Woodland we've added some more bomb synergies and a new status keyword, "Powder" among other things.
These changes are in line with our full vision for the game beyond the demo. If you have any feedback on items, bosses or gameplay in general we'd love to hear it.
