Early Access Patch 1

Thanks a million for making our launch so special and for taking the time give us your feedback! We've received great input for balance, QoL, UI, story, music, and feature updates, and those who shared feedback will be recognized via the in-game development log as we implement changes. There's a lot for us to consider and we're very motivated to make updates. Our immediate priority is to collect/assess all feedback so that we can provide the community with 1) highly-needed patches and then 2) a roadmap announcement for 1.0.

(Spoiler Warning: patch notes may contain details of the game not yet experienced by players.)
