• Spawning lots of beacons should give much less lag http://gameinabottle.com/images/gccs-scr-20150518.jpg

• Field L5 drop holder hidden under a tree is visible now
• Calculating total skill points fixed again
• Fixed: shrines activated just before ending a battle had their performance info text stuck on the screen

• Lots of new fields
• The game’s native resolution has increased from 900×600 to 1088×612 (16:9 ratio)
• All fields became wider as the game got wide, they are 54×32 tiles instead of the old 44×32, which brought pleasant changes in many of the fields
• No in-game purchases, and of course you get access to all content that has been given by the Magician’s Pouch
• You don’t get the Chain hit skill and the Orblets trait on start, you have to find them in the wilderness
• Battle traits cost no shadow cores
• Higher shadow core drop rate, with which you can solely focus on getting and upgrading talisman fragments
• Many of the game’s graphics have been made in a higher resolution
• Full screen support, custom mouse pointer (can be disabled), saving to files (which are synced to the Steam cloud too)
• Iron Wizard mode: a game mode where you can’t rely on grinding for XP (no endurance), getting lots of skill points from achievements, or building a powerful talisman; you get +5 skill points for beating a field, and that’s all. No battle traits, except a special variant of the original Orblets trait. You can gather Orblets from locked wizard towers, and you also have to get your skills from the tome chambers.
• All achievements (plus one) can be unlocked as Steam achievements
