Welcome back Starknights!
This update comes with some pretty big milestones. The creation of a discord server and steam page are the biggest. Also, starting today, playtesting will be open to anyone! Make sure to join the discord server if you want to take part and get your name in the credits. In terms of new content, there are some quality of life additions like a dash cooldown bar and healing text. There have also been a ton of bug fixes and changes. The most exciting change are the brand new crew portraits created by the talented Nicolas Parrado (PixelTomia). There will only be one more update (changes based on the playtesting feedback) before the official demo launches. Make sure to join the discord and wishlist on Steam!
