[p]Updated to v0.10.4

This update mainly includes adjustments to Endless Mode.
There may be a longer interval before the next update, as we are currently focusing on developing features such as a system for placing shops along the route. We hope you can wait a little longer.

\[Adjustments]
・Adjusted Endless Mode so that a Safe Zone now appears after entering it. Safe Zones will also appear at regular intervals afterward.
・The event names "Obtain Recipe" and "Upgrade Recipe" have been changed to "Hero Recipe: Obtain" and "Hero Recipe: Upgrade".
・Skip is now available in "Hero Recipe: Upgrade".[/p]

Updated to v0.10.3.

・Fixed an issue where battles would not end after dispatching units like the Harpy in v0.10.2 .
・Fixed an issue where certain heroes did not behave correctly in versions v0.10.2 .
・Adjusted the spawn behavior of randomly appearing heroes (such as Thief and Mandrake) so that they are more likely to appear in empty spaces rather than completely at random.
・Fixed an issue where movies did not play correctly on some devices.
・Reduced loading time when launching the game.

Updated to v0.10.2

In this update, we focused on improving performance during Endless Mode, which has been our highest priority. Compared to previous versions, the processing load during battles has been reduced to approximately 50%. We will continue working on further improvements.
In the next update, we plan to adjust the content of Endless Mode—such as allowing new Hero Recipes to appear occasionally—and refine hero behavior logic. These changes will reflect feedback from the community as we continue to improve overall game balance. We will also accelerate the update pace, and we appreciate your continued support.

[Adjustments]
・Some performance issues during battles, especially in Endless Mode, have been partially improved.
・Weakened the boss "Naga".This adjustment was made because "Naga" was significantly harder to defeat compared to other bosses, except with specific heroes.
・Adjusted unlock order within the Research Tree "Recycle Tech".
・Added license information to the Credits.

This patch focuses on bug fixes.
・Adjusted so that when both the Filter Function and Priority Divider are set on a Divider, items matching the filter are transported to the priority side.
・Fixed an issue where the Help "Using Inserters" was displayed repeatedly.
・Fixed an issue where "Boss Killer", "HP Bonus", and "Perfect" scores were added even when the run was not cleared.
・Fixed an issue where the Copy Equipment feature could not be used under certain conditions.
・Fixed an issue where equipment unlocked in the Research Tree was not added to the palettes.
・Fixed an issue where the filter icon would not display correctly when resuming from a suspended run.
・Enabled controller support on Mac.

Updated to v0.10.0.

Here we are with the 2nd Major Update.
This update brings the highly anticipated Endless Mode (β). Please keep in mind that this mode is currently in beta for two reasons:

1. We wish to refine this content with your feedback, guiding us toward its final form.
2. We've identified some performance concerns. As gameplay progresses, the processing load may increase, which could impact the playability. We appreciate your patience as we resolve these issues in upcoming updates.

In addition to Endless Mode, we've also received requests to extend the total number of waves. This is something we are considering addressing as well. For now, we will first monitor the performance of Endless Mode before deciding whether to increase the number of waves further.
We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to hearing your thoughts.
