**Patch Notes: Demo Update v0.0.3b** *Available Now!*

**General Notes** This update mostly focuses on certain damage breakpoints and speeding up the early game. More features will come in the future

**KNOWN ISSUES (Unresolved)** These are issues I'm aware of, but have not gotten around to fixing

Player attacks upon exiting dialogue Biome chests and altars sometimes spawn in funky places

**COMING SOON** Revamped settings screen
Revamped in-game settings
Expanded lobby

**NEW ADDITIONS** The Main Menu and Lobby are now in one scene Map sizes have finally been added!
Go for a large map if you plan to have a longer run, or go for a small map if you don't wanna wait so long for generation

Difficulties are now available!
Normal difficulty has been made easier, hard and mortal however, are a different story ;)

**Bug Fixes** Fixed an issue where weapons may show as unlocked, but they can't be picked
Fixed an issue where locked weapons can be picked

**NERFS** Enemies
Twilight zone enemies have had their health nerfed across the board Guardian Construct
The Guardian Construct is no longer invulnerable during phase transitions
