The push towards full release continues! All of the backend components, systems, and mechanics are now in place! Only a small amount of content remains to be completed, then production related tasks, polishing, and playtesting. The target released date is August 11th!

-Map locations show enemy density, damage, and hp multipliers.
-Many many things polished and improved!
-Many many balance tweaks and bug fixes!
-Final backend systems for all game mechanics are in-place. New, unexpected, and exciting bugs may now start appearing! :-D
