Build 0.1.2 Patch Notes (8/28/25)

Hello Pillars!

This update is the last before the demo's official launch tomorrow! It includes several quality-of-life improvements and completes my move to standardize some of the mechanics in the game. For instance, all relics are now stackable. Also included are a lot of small and medium-sized adjustments I've made for balance. I hope you enjoy it, and I'll be back with more next week!
