Automation Added

Many players asked for upgrades that would allow automation in our game. We added them!

Auto Attack
Auto Walk
Auto Spellcast (New feature!)
Auto Pickup

Balancing:

Made ores more desirable, giving players more reason to choose the mining path
Slightly lowered rewards from chests
Changed enemy health progression to account for the new upgrades/companions added to the game
Make walking faster and corridors shorter

Overall, the pacing of the game will feel much different. Give it another try if you've already played through the prototype!
