Alpha v0.2.4 Released


Character art is redone! I've also reworked the path choices to be more Hades-like; the player chooses their reward, and the game sets the challenge. I wanted to avoid making the player choose between avoiding tough battles and chasing tough battles, and this lets me tweak the pacing of the encounters behind the scenes.

One other major change is that cards that put other cards into your draw pile now always add them on top. This buffs Crow's cycle cards particularly; I'll probably write a devlog about the thought process behind this later.
