Release Candidate Hotfix

Lo and behold, new issues were uncovered, and the Release Candidate has now been updated with new improvements and bug fixes. NEW DAMAGE EFFECTS

They're done for the Goblin Minions, Goblin Healers, Goblin Bombers, Goblin Captains, Goblin Archers, Goblin Brutes, Goblin Kings and Wild Boars. Inspired by old PC classic Severance: Blade of Darkness. Anyone remember that game? SUPERSAMPLING

Allow supersampling up to 1.6x with the Render Resolution slider. HOW TO PLAY THE RELEASE CANDIDATE
