Salutations, freelancers...

Here is the next big update for the game. It adds a HUGE new interior area which is about the side of one of the districts, lots of new dialogue, new soundtracks, and more! The list might not be as long as some of the other major updates that I've done in the past, but that's simply just because over the past few months, I've been releasing medium sized updates quite rapidly. Several of which were during September and October.

Check out the change log below!

Updated intro background ambience
Updated some map specific soundtracks
Renamed some enemy units to make their names better fit what they're meant to represent
