[h2]🔨 Crafting & Materials:[/h2]
- Major material rework: Woods, ores, bricks, paper, and mechanical parts have been adjusted to support a better sense of progression ( Full breakdown → here).
- New crafting recipes have been implemented for most weapons and tools in order to create a better sense of progression.

[h2]🎮 Gameplay & Systems:[/h2]
- Small oozes move a bit slower now.
- Fixed regen/drowning continuing while paused.
- You can no longer sprint in water for now (too much stamina drain!).

- Various rendering and performance optimizations, including:
- Optimized highlighting large objects/groups.
- No more lighting leaks from emissive sprites in LV cascades.
[h2]🛠️ Editor & Dev Tools:[/h2]
- All winning player-created worlds from the Create-a-World Competition are now playable in-game under the 'Community' tab!
- Added cheats to the developer menu for stuck players.
- Various Editor updates:
- → Monster stats and drops now editable in the Properties window.
- → ‘Vo’ and ‘Brush’ loaders combined into a single ‘Object’ loader.
- → Landscape generator now defaults to a 3x3 biome tileset.
- → Monster stats and drops now editable in the Properties window.
[h2]👀 Sneak Peeks:[/h2]
We’ve also been hard at work on other features and changes that aren’t included in this build. For those not following along on social, here are a few of the recent previews we’ve posted:
We’re testing new object interaction mechanics: watch how things respond much more naturally!

We're also experimenting with some new attack patterns with wind-up cues and sudden lunges! Also trying out side-dodges for both the player and skeleton. (You can preview some fresh SFX + music in the video here as well.)
