It's been a wild couple of months. In addition to migrating to the new version of Bevy and dealing with various issues / bugs etc. We've made some larger changes to the app. 

Performance

We've made some significant performance improvements by tweaking a Timer in Winit and adding framerate settings to the application (Settings menu)

You should be able to play for significantly longer, without the previous overheating issue. 

New VFX + Assets

We've made a handful of VFX improvements, especially noticeable around the magic missile spells by integrating Bevy_Hanabi and having the projectiles accelerate on a curve.

We've also added a new Island asset that should look better and be more readable. 

Relic Improvements + Upgrade Paths

In addition to tweaking and rebalancing relics we've added upgrade paths to several relics. 

In particular, you may want to check out:

- Ring of Double Missiles

- Arcane Sentinel

- Totems

- Mana Font

Shop Updates:

We've added exponential price scaling to the shop to encourage players to pick and choose which spells and relics they want, rather than purchasing everything. 

We have a lot of updates / changes coming around progression that will significantly change the experience. We're excited to tell you about them in 

GameCenter Integration

We now have leaderboards! We're planning to keep improving 'platform services' like this as we move closer to a commercial release.
