In this version, I decided to completely redesign the progression system.
Now, upon reaching a new level, the player can choose two perks at once — one daytime perk and one nighttime perk.
Other changes:
- During weapon reloads, you now see a progress bar showing the remaining reload time.
- The cost of using the slot machine now increases after each attempt.
- Shard pickup radius has been increased.
- Ongoing work on overall game balance.
- Bug fixes.
