Hey everyone!
This patch brings another big round of improvements as I continue refining things during launch week. It includes a bunch of important bug fixes, a brand-new overlay rendering system for (hopefully) better performance, and several quality-of-life upgrades based on your feedback.
Thank you all so much for the incredible support during this launch. It seriously means the world to me. I'm going to keep rolling out updates to squash bugs, smooth things out, and make the overall experience better and better. Balancing and more QoL are up next so keep the suggestions coming!
Also feel free to join the Discord community if you haven't already. :)
Thanks again!
