// Additions

• Input rebinding
  • It’s in an unpolished state, but it’s something. Useful for seeing all keybindings, at the very least!
  • Controller key sprites are also now in the game, which feels related.
  • Resetting to default is there as a fallback too.
• Camera zoom
  • Maybe you want to make those sprites bigger and chunkier? You can now do that.
  • Mouse scroll wheel - or from the options.

// Quality-of-life/changes

• Tweaks to loot drops & monster balance.
  • Some of the monsters you’ll raaaarely encounter have fancy new abilities!
• Lots of tweaks to language that’s used in the game.
  • Some of it is just clearing up spelling errors.
  • And some of it is more interesting writing.
  • And perhaps most importantly - some of it is more clear writing.
  • The kind of writing that reflects the state of the game, and expected behavior for the player.
• “Is better/worse” arrows for item prefixes & materials when comparing items.
  • Did you know that Rubyweave is 2 steps above Chromalite? Well, you do now.
• Continued work on things from the previous changelog:
  • Playing with a mouse is now friendlier, more UI is clickable.
  • Improved scaling/support for non-1080p resolutions
• Just a whole lot of UX improvements.
  • For example teleporting (find that module!) should be way clearer now.
    • Module usage in general got a lot of love.
  • A bunch of new “you couldn’t do this and here’s why” messages in the combat log.

// Under the hood

• A bunch of various bug fixes.
• Cool nerdy stuff for loading Entities with parameters
• Some cool stuff with Entitas & codegen.
