[h2]New Content[/h2]

• Around 100 new weapons, each of them come with a new weapon skill!
  
• 4 new difficulties, unlock them by beating Act 1 once
  

[h2]Shops[/h2]

• You can now sell in shops!
  
• Items sell for 10% of their value
  
• The value of an item changes depending on how many stacks it has
  

[h2]Saving and Loading[/h2]

• Saving and loading now saves wherever you are and loads exactly where you left off, instead of at the beginning of your last encounter
  
• The game auto-saves constantly
  
• Saving no longer causes the game to freeze for a moment or stutter
  

[h2]UI and QoL[/h2]

• The main menu has been overhauled to look a lot nicer
  
• All valid weapon skills show up in a unit’s skill menu, even if you don’t have the weapon equipped. Using the skill equips the weapon
  
• Recruiting another hero at the end of the first act now lets you choose their skills
  
• The loading screen no longer stutters
  
• Check out that starry sky!
  
• Various bug fixes and probably some bugs added too
  

We had another feature planned for this update, but we hit a bit of a snag on it. We wanted to get the rest of this update out, so we're just going to delay this feature a little bit.

So in a couple days, look forward to:

[h2]Controller Support - Coming in a couple days![/h2]

• The game will be fully playable with a controller!
  
• You'll be able to navigate through menus and control units with d-pad, left stick, and buttons like normal
  
• Moving the right stick activates a virtual cursor that allows you to mouse over stuff for tooltips
