Repeated intro

Hey everyone, we're happy to announce that alpha update 2 is now live! The overall goal of this update was to make the game more intuitive to play, more balanced and more enjoyable by removing the annoying stuff (objects blocking line of sight to enemies, making spellcasting more forgiving etc.) and emphasizing the fun stuff. We polished all of our core mechanics and added most of the requested features from our hard working alpha testers' feedback. Thank you all for your feedback so far, we invite you to hang out with us a little longer and let us know if the game feels better to play than it did before. :]
