Repeated intro

Hello all!

What changed

  • Balance
changedNow, there are some things to keep in mind. This is very obviously a very early build of the game. Yes, its pretty rough, the combat and economy are severely out of balance, and a lot of features are missing. Yet, it might give you pretty good idea of what's to come.
fixedRight now, my main objective is to fix the balancing issues, so expect an update soon(ish). It's hard to estimate how long it might take, since I would have to playtest the game a lot before I settle on a balance that feels fair, yet challenging. There are also a few nasty bugs to iron out, so that will be hopefully fixed for the next release.

But that's enough for now. Thanks for everyone who provided feedback on the game already, your input is incredibly helpful.

See you soon!
