Demo Update - Patch 0.3.7

The last week has been pretty hectic! I've probably watched 20-30 hours of streamed gameplay during that time, and while many of these things were rolled out incrementally they're now being bundled together in a single larger patch coinciding with when I updated the demo!

Changes are as follows:

• Weapon attacks are no longer free Weapons were originally free because you need Multi-Wield to use them, so they they were effectively 1 Skill + 1 Item in terms of power so I didn't feel like they needed to cost a Brain to use as well. This was largely a mistake- because getting even 2-3 weapons was enough to ramp damage considerably. Weapons will still be very good, but now you might need some brainpower as well.
  
  
• Breaker Blade now grants +1 STR on Equip, instead of +2. Breaker Blade start was so much stronger than the others it was warping the early game. This tones it down.
  
  
• Penetrator reduces enemy defense by 1 instead of by 2. Penetrator just adding 2 damage to everything got really insane- especially in a multiplayer game where you might hit more than one.
  
  
• Shop Odds Adjusted The shop used to offer 1 common, 1 uncommon, and 1 rare item. This made it really easy to find a bunch of extremely strong gear (like diamond armor). The shop now rolls three times and offers:
  
  1x Common Item
  1x (50%) Common OR (50%) Uncommon Item
  1x (25%) Common OR (50%) Uncommon OR (25%) Rare Item
  
  This change means the Shop, in general, offers weaker gear.
  
  
• Romance Requirements no longer scale with game difficulty Most players were just going to a single location every single turn to meet romance requirements, and I think that's a lame gameplay pattern so I've made getting a date generally easier.
  
  
• Enemy HP Increased Enemies were getting one rounded very quickly. This change mostly affects Adventure and War mode- Vacation mode is mostly untouched.
  
  
• Skulldweller Tweaks Skulldweller having Thorns on Adventure Mode ended up being super punishing. I've taken the ability away, but kept it on his War Mode incarnation where having a stronger strategy is probably warranted.
  
  
• Tutorials in the Pause Menu You can now access all the tutorials in the game via the Controls Menu! A few players accidentally closed it, so this should help in case they need to revisit them.
  
  
• New Transition in the Endgame There's a new transition when the Doomsday Party is over! This'll be accompanied with a music change in the future.
