Patch Notes: 7/19/2023

Big update for this one! I've added a brand new hub area where you'll start on a new game. This is where you can meet more of the game's characters and access the shop to purchase new weapons to use in the underground dungeon.

Major Changes:

• New hub area featuring a shopkeeper, a tutorial character, and a really cool dog (as promised)
• New shop menu that lets you spend gold to purchase ammo and weapons However, weapons and gold are lost on a game over.
• General bug fixes
• UI alignment changes to make the game work on all supported resolutions
• Visual effects like screen shake and fog particles

There are still plenty of bugs to fix (especially in the dungeon) but this content felt necessary to put out so that I can test out the intended game loop (try a dungeon run, return to the hub to get stronger, then try again).

Upcoming content for the hub area:

• Unlockable dialogue to reveal the lore behind the characters and setting
• Adjustable difficulty settings that allow you to earn more rewards for harder levels

Looking forward to improving this game even more!
