Hey everyone! Today I'm pushing a patch with a ton of improvements to the flow and intuitiveness of the UI and menus. This might not sound very interesting but I've found that it significantly improves your player experience if you don't have to work with fiddly frustrating menus, and it leaves more time for the fun stuff. I've been struggling with UI and menu flow for as long as I can remember, but Graffiti Games really came to the rescue to help me out with this, so big shoutout to them!
