***SAVE FILES WILL BREAK DUE TO CODE OVERHAUL***
Hello all! Finally after months of work this crazy update comes to a close. There is so much I want to say in regards to how long this took but I will hold my tongue and try to just enjoy a bit of a break after this monster. The patch notes will explain all the technics but essentially the major thing I want to state is save files will break in this update. I had to do major code tweaks and almost every area of the game was touched in one way or another even if its not inherently visible to the naked eye.
So first and foremost I went back and did a quick adjustment to all sprites to bring a bit more life to them and to honor the poll I posted forever ago. As such, sprites will have varying new designs and changes. Also the elusive Android version has finally been created and I hope to god it works :c.
Anyway, I don't want to write too much so the patch notes should have all changes within them.
Enjoy and as always if you find a bug please let me know so I can fix.
Thank you and please enjoy!
