[p]Hello everyone! This is our first large update since launch and the star is the integration of 6 new languages! We fixed a bunch of alignment and spacing issues by hand, but a few may still remain - feel free to let us know in the discussions threads.[/p][p][/p][p]We did a rebalance pass on XP leveling to be closer to our original goal. The XP required to level is different now - your current levels in your savegames shouldn't change, but it may take longer to hit your next level.[/p][p][/p][p]Gamepad support is significantly improved on most screens now. There's definitely still some work to do to get it to where we want it, but you should find it a lot more manageable and without some of the stranger behavior that existed before.[/p][p][/p][p]We also fixed some annoying bugs (enemies getting stuck, some AoE weirdness, and a silly bug that could knock enemies back into your own ship if they went past the beginning of the map. And somehow it seems our post-battle story scenes were missing music (how did we miss that!?) - that should be fixed now too.[/p][p][/p][h3]Localization[/h3]

• [p]Fixed AoE attack values that were not properly being reset.[/p]
• [p]Fixed skill tooltips modifying the base stats of a skill.[/p]
• [p]Fixed knockback warping enemies directly to the ship. Oops.[/p]

We're happy to announce that Kevin Penkin's awesome* DQ2 soundtrack is available for sale! Kevin reworked all of the tracks so that instead of looping they have a nice conclusion, all the better for your listening pleasure. Also, all tracks have been remastered in high-fidelity with lossless WAV versions available in addition to high-quality 320 kbps MP3s.

*Can you tell Anthony's a total fanboy? :D

Hopefully we've settled the problem in which users with non-English characters in their usernames are seeing a crash on startup. If you can confirm either way please let us know here! Thanks!

We've been seeing crashes on startup for users with non-English usernames in non-English locales. We think we've finally nailed down the cause and this build will hopefully fix that. Additionally, Hyde's boost 5 was accidentally way OP and that's been toned down a bit.
