Prerelease Update 1

Welcome to the first pre-release Exodemic patch notes. These will be brief summaries that I'll try to publish for each new build. Leading up to release, I anticipate most of these changes to either be around game balance, bugfixes, or improved user onboarding. Without further-ado here's the summary of the incoming changes:

Balance

• Legendary piercing reduced 10 -> 5

• Hyper shot now also increases weapon recharge rate

• Scrap now lasts 7s instead of 6s on Easy difficulty

• Across the board changes to item costs, in general things are more expensive now

• Players now start with 75 scrap on Easy, and 50 scrap on Medium

• Mechanic encounter cost increased from 25 -> 50

Bugfixes

• Fixed bug where all ships would start with 3 health

• Fixed bug where multiple augments could be selected/dragged if you clicked in the middle

• Fixed bug where button on map scene would sometimes hide part of the map

• Fixed occasional crash during map generation

• You can no longer take damage at the end of Combat
