New Year, Newfound GODOT skills

Happy New Year!

Since the last patch I have been tackling the performance issues that plagued the game due to me still learning the ropes of Game Development.

That meant making some decisions around graphical assets, FX and how the game fundamentally works under the hood though I am satisfied with the results.

Quick Summary of Changes:

• Removed many particle effects

• Implemented asset pooling on most things (the game needs roughly 3 more MB of RAM now)

• Retuned Enemy AI to be less taxing and to allow for many enemies on screen with a solid framerate

• Redid the Vortex PowerUp FX, visuals and AI

There are many new things coming to the game soon though I should get back to being on holiday like I should.

Thank you and talk in a few weeks!

Quick Summary of Changes in Hotfix 2:

• Improved the Difficulty Selection Screen

• Improved the look&feel of all menus and buttons through effects
