Next updates

The random events feature is still in development and requires more polishing and improvments not to say about adding more variety of different events. So in the next patches there will be some changes to it and more random events. Also now I can work on quests system which will be built on top of events and use them to deliver interesting and challanging stories. There are plans for unique upgrades and other bonuses for completing this quests and events so there will be more reasons to complete them.

After all of that is done I'll start implementing general game progression with unlockable characters and passive effects which can be used to alter strategies in your next playthroughs.
