Hey all! As per usual, while I was working on porting to consoles, I came across some wild performance hacks that also work great on PC. This patch is lumping in some of those performance increases which should wildly help lower end PC's, and also maximize FPS for everyone across the board. Also lumping in a few bugs and QOL feature reported on the Katanaut General Discussion

Hey everyone, quick balance patch before the weekend, plus a few suggestions and bug fixes that were sent in. Seeing the item combos people are using (through the leaderboard) is opening up a lot of great opportunities for balance adjustments. I’m really happy to see such a wide variety of builds! My overall goal is to make more synergistic adjustments so players feel encouraged to combine more it

Got a nice balance patch along with some bug fixes that I've been hunting from recent submissions! The leaderboards have been heating up recently.

Would love to help surface new builds for you all. https://media1.tenor.com/m/3Nz2xEE02pwAAAAC/ninja-scroll-nin

You might be thinking... What is this solo dev doing. He just patched the game yesterday, and now he's dropping a MASSIVE 200MB patch. WTF. Well, I just had a massive breakthrough in performance for Katanaut while working on the porting efforts for Switch. These performance updates are significant under extreme testing, and I'm so incredibly happy about them, that I'm here patching this in at 2am.

Got a new patch before the weekend! This is from some recent bug reports and realizations that I had. Some good QOL changes and a few optimizations I also figured out as I'm working through the porting for consoles! Hope you all enjoy and have an amazing weekend! Core: - Testing some improvements to the efficiency of the blood system. Hoping everyones PC cry a little less with all effects on :) -
