I just now realized that I can also put patch notes for the experimental version here, wops!
I will then write here what changes are in experimental from version 1.0.1.001 EXP to 1.0.1.002 EXP (i.e. what I worked on the last two weeks)
Please remember that what you can see and play in experimental may *not* appear in the main branch, as some of the balance changes are being tested and may not pass playtest, and will be reverted.
Have fun!
