Remember how the last update took a couple of months to develop? Well, this one did too, but for a reason! It brought a lot of technical changes, polish, and some new features! This update specifically has some changes that should hopefully make the game more approachable for new players, but it also adds some fun new content and fixes a ton of bugs. Hope you'll enjoy!
