"v0.7.2 focused on a variety of smaller changes, but the most significant adjustments were to alchemy. Prior to this update a lot of the higher end alchemy recipes required very specific ingredients, so I introduced catalysts to make these recipes more flexible. While more work was still needed, this went a long way toward streamlining the most complex part of the alchemy system.\n" +
"\n" +
"This update also made some substantial design changes to enchantments. Since enchantments were more accessible after v0.7.0, I wanted to adjust them to be more about gameplay variety and less about raw damage. Prior to this update several of the most common enchantments were essentially direct increases to damage. Changing this was a good overall direction, but some of the specific changes in v0.7.2 missed the mark, and so I had to revisit enchantment mechanics shortly after."));

"v0.7.1 featured the last of Shattered's hero reworks, this time to the Huntress! I wanted to keep her theme of ranged combat, but expand on how her range could interact with the environment. This led to her being able to 'furrow' grass, which creates all sorts of interesting gameplay. Her primary ranged weapon was also changed to no longer be upgradeable, which was important to make her power more consistent, and her item builds more variable from run to run.\n" +

"v0.7.0 was Shattered's second longest-developed update at almost 6 months! This update took so long because it included my first attempt at an entirely new gameplay system: item crafting via alchemy!\n" +
"\n" +
"Crafting was actually something I wanted to do for years but I kept ended up scrapping my plans because they were too complex. Finally I settled on a system that was aimed at giving consumable items new uses, and that didn't interact with equipment at all. Despite my best efforts the system still ended up not quite doing its job while also being too complex. I've ended up steadily improving the system over future updates.\n" +
