changedFull in-game localization itself will come later on, once all the strings stop changing every five minutes.
addedI’ve improved the visuals and added new sounds so melee and ranged attacks are easier to tell apart. When you switch to ranged mode, the game will also auto-target the closest enemy, which should make quick swaps less awkward. This was brought during alpha testing on a stream, so thanks for the suggestions!
changedBlood merchants also got some love. They’re now much more explicit about what they’re offering. You either take a tainted gift, or you pay the price with a sacrifice. No more pretending this is a fair deal.
