Release: Alpha 0.2
This is the update I teased in the last devlog, and it's built almost entirely from your feedback. The short version: the interface got a full overhaul, your settings finally save, and the AI no longer beats you up like you owe it rent money.The new interfaceComplete UI overhaul, reworked around your feedback to be easier to navigate. More refinement will follow, but the foundation is new.Menu tutorials now explain what's what, plus a few tricks for getting around faster.Everything you can click has a clear hover effect that brightens under your cursor.A background blur now separates the gameplay from whatever you're meant to focus on.Slightly adjusted the environment lighting.
