Early Access Patch 1.0.9 - Beta Branch

Hello again, everyone!

Today's patch has been published to the public_beta branch. If you'd like to test out the new content, you can do so by right clicking the game in your Steam library, then Properties, then Game Versions & Betas, and then selecting the public_beta branch. After some testing, I will of course be releasing the patch on the main branch.

Additionally, in the next week or so, I will be releasing a preview of the game's next map! If you are a member of my Discord community, you may have already seen some sneak peaks of the new map, but if you aren't, here's a screenshot!

As always, thank you for your support and feedback. I'll see you soon with another update!
