Update #4 - Seeds, Plants, and Challenges!

The biggest update yet! Several new items, from the low-level buffs to ridiculously powerful late-game enhancements. The first creatures of a brand-new alien race, the KaasTau are scattered around the galaxy as well; symbiotic plant-machine hybrids with a focus on summoning and ranged attacks. Most exciting though, is character progression! Each character has three challenges, from resource gathering, defeating bosses, moving quickly, or finding secret areas. Completing a challenge gives items, resources, or special maneuvers. Let us know what you think! Content
