We're so grateful for all the content creators who have tried out Star★Vaders, especially since they all found the game themselves! (We haven't started content creator outreach yet!). So this update is dedicated to them!

We're adding 4 new Legendary artifacts each themed on a different notable content creator who has played our game.  Find Retro Specters, Wanderer, Engi 89 and Ultra Coolant in the game! 

Notably, we've also reworked and buffed Zeke! Zeke now dismantles the first card burnt each turn, and the base copy and 0 cost card gained are added to your hand at the *start of the next turn*. A lot more powerful, and more intuitive as well! 

Along with that, we've added a few small QoL changes,  some modifications to the Mothership fight to make it both easier, less confusing, while adding more variety as well! Finally, we're still working on the input system, but you can now play *most* of the game with the keyboard only. This paves the path towards a fully remappable keyboard  / controller input!

Meanwhile, in the background, we've been hard at work on 0.4 - meta-progression as well as cleaning up the rest of the scenes. Stay tuned for more updates!
