The first stable build of 2016 has arrived! This update completely overhauls the entire game's graphics assets from scratch, quadrupling the base game resolution and doubling the animation frames for all mobs. This patch also has a plethora of under the hood changes, improving memory usage, fixing some minor bugs and making a few changes to the interface.
Also, due to the entire game being redrawn I am running another Screenshot Roundup. If you're interested, check out this announcement!
You can report bugs over at the official website's Support and Bugs Forum, or on the Steam Discussion Board. :)
