I spent a lot of this update digging into performance, and it paid off: Verlet physics, inventory, chunking, and lighting all got serious speedups, so the whole game should feel a lot smoother now, especially with the framerate finally uncapped. Beyond that, I added a new save slots system, fresh main menu art for Act 1, 21 new items, reworked item descriptions, new cutscenes and VFX, a new trader, and a couple of new questline beats. There's also a pile of combat and balance fixes in here. Thank you so much for playing my game. I hope you enjoy it.
