This is still a _dev only update, but we should update the store version soon.
I got a bit carried away with adding new "unnecessary" content and it made synchronizing _dev and release versions of the game tricky. I'll sort it all out this week.
There are many interesting developments within the game which I'd love to talk about, but it's very late, so here's a screenshot from our art pipeline Trello board instead.
