  WEEKLY UPDATE. IMPROVED DEMO.

  Hello, sinners.You asked for it. We deliver. That update adds more QoL, more features, more speed, more danger and more bugs.New FeaturesAdded a Quicksave feature. Quit whenever you want ; get back later into your game without losing progress. The quicksave is destroyed on load since the "Log save" remains the only reliable way to save progress if you die.Added a Reload last save option to the Game Over menu. Note : if your save file is older than this update, the game will inform you that it'll load the save in the first slotAdded a new Settings menu. You can now adjust the sounds and musics, rebind your keyboard keys/controller buttons and change the resolution. Finally, Worddammit! Audio is now set at 50% by default (that one is for everyone I've made deaf from the New Game loud piano sound)Added a hold-to-repeat feature to menus and choiceboxes (just hold a direction to quickly scroll a list)Centralized music playback into a new music system. Doesn't change a thing as is, but should prevent further bugs around music and sounds.Gameplay & BalanceBattle pacing sped up : combat is now way faster than before.
