1.0.5 Update - A lot of improvements


Finally, another big update. This one covers a lot. On the one hand certain edge cases are fixed but also a lot of minor stuff which many players will encounter is improved.

There is also now a way to avoid the first incident with the tripwire. I'm unsure if it is the right move from a game design perspective, since it's the first time you encounter the incident mechanic which I really like, but it makes sense that you can simply destroy the tripwire.

When I started working on it, the most important aspect was to remove the overlapping wall which was introduced with 1.0.4 but I put in more and more time and so the update grew to what it is now. I hope you like it!

Cheers

Daniel
