🔥 Big Beta Update + Steam Sale – Now’s the Best Time to Jump In! 🔥

Hey everyone,
Kyle here, super excited to drop a massive beta update just in time for the Steam Spring Sale! 🎉

Though we're still keeping this on the beta branch, this has been a long time in the works, and brings back a lot of functionality to all the new and improved systems.

What’s new in the beta update?
✅ Major system upgrades – We’ve overhauled key parts of the game to deliver a stronger, more dynamic experience, including a new Points of Interest system, and steadily evolving action combat system.
✅ A fresh foundation – While content is still growing, this update lays the groundwork for bigger and better things ahead with heavily revamped world generation.
✅ Completely re-imagined art direction – Greater contrast and more colorful all around, this new style allows us to create and work with assets as a greatly improved speed.

What's soon to come?
✅ Powerful new dungeon generation – Allowing us to seamlessly connect caves and dungeons, as the first step towards more long term goals for deep and rewarding dungeon crawling.
✅ Community-driven content – We’ll soon be introducing tools that will let YOU create dungeon rooms, quests, and points of interest—your creations will become part of the game!
