'Horrifyingly' huge changes coming to Artifact!

Hey there, deviants! Here's a little tease for some upcoming changes.

We've been hard at work trying to implement some improvements regarding Broodmothers. I'm hoping to have it ready soon, but it's still too early to tell.

This is largely in part because I've been working on a massive overhaul of the game. Early on, someone once asked me if I would be interested in remaking the game and I expressed 0 desire to do so. Needless to say, that has changed. The overhaul aims to improve some systems such as Perks & Boons, to clean up things such as the UI, and especially to boost the overall performance. Hopefully this will also make multiple save slots a possibility again.

It's been a very long time since I put out the very first release, and since then I have learned so much more about the engine and game dev in general. The game has come to find its identity and take shape, so I feel confident that now is the time for a major re-code from the bottom up. This overhaul should also make obscure bugs much less common, and make it easier to implement new content in the future.

Until the time the overhauled version is ready, any updates to the existing game will likely be smaller in scope than usual, and largely focused on artwork. Of course, there's no telling just how long this massive overhaul will take. I've been chipping away at it for almost a week now and I'm still in the introduction, but I'm hoping it speeds up once I hit the open world. Time will tell.

Thank you again everyone, for all your continued support! I'm so grateful we have made it this far and we're getting much closer to entering beta.
