DOOMBRINGER update for 16 August 2022

As we unveil version 1.2 of Doombringer we want to point out the changes are many. But we will here highlight a shorthand list of improvements to the game since our last major patch.

We also want to take the opportunity to ensure you all that work continues daily on Episode 2. Any updates we have on that will be shared on our twitter, or discord. There you will be able to follow along as we release screenshots or talk to us about the game and so on.
