A little background on the casual difficulty. The game was originally released with a casual difficulty in 2019 but had to be disabled due to negative feedback: not posing any challenge and making the game too easy. Since then the difficulty and comlpexity of the AI went through a serious overhaul. Now we have reworked the whole casual diffiulty to adapt to these changes. So we made the player have the stats like a slimjim to withstand more melee strikes. Also lowered reaction times of early game enemies and adjusted multiple enemy weapon projectile speeds, damage and other stats. Make no mistake about it. Casual will still pose a challenge, especially those new to the game. But for the better players it might just be a nice power fantasy romp. Casual might also ease new players better into switching to normal (and higher) along with game progress. Once we tweak it enough we will merge it into the default main public branch.

We are also working other improvements and will be adding them to the Public Beta as we go along until 1.0.

And please keep the bug reports, gameplays and feedback coming! This will greatly help us make the game the best it can be for 1.0.

PS. Please excuse the typo on the start screen changelog. Fixing this would mean postponing the update and beta by at least 4 hours. And since this the changelog is a one time popup I made the call to release the update now and fix the typo for the next update. /M
