This week Neow and Tanx are getting glow ups while we bring in a whole host of cards for everyone while focusing balance on the Underdocks.

A lot of the map assets have new colors, values, and some updated icons and we're also packing a lot of common textures so if you notice any strange visual issues or performance problems, do let us know because the texturepacker compatibility is a little janky. Things like image compression are now used on select assets as well so if you see non-placeholder assets with artifacting or anything, feedback there is appreciated.

A good chunk of core character SFX also made it in so each playable character should have more of its audio identity.

The Timeline is taking a time out this week as we want a few more UX touches before we take a look at it anew.
