===Delayed Pre-Alpha Build Still Coming===
\\
Our Pre-Alpha (Milestone 1) release date was not met due to a great amount of life circumstance, but progress is still being made.  Pre-Alpha goals are being adjusted.  We have even begun adding structure for Necromancer and Enchanter classes as part of the code reorganization process.  Also an issue with V-sync was discovered, causing massive idle time latency spikes on Ryzen/W10 systems, independent of how many 1000s of mobs are on the screen at once.  V-sync off (engine and system) seems to be the answer for now, running the game over 200fps to take full advantage of fast refresh rates without negative V-sync latency penalties.\\

-New less sonic mushroom pickup noises\\
-Various new splosion SFX\\
-Sonic speed up moved to SoW for now\\
==Known Issues:==
-Dual casting is possible and needs to be blocked\\
-SoW is stackable on itself, which is OP as fuck.\\
-Casting while charging is possible still which is also OP as fuck.\\
-Lizardmen are stacking excessively, giving AoE a huge advantage.\\
-Occasionally the UI disappears at launch of new game (restart program if happens)\\
-Super does not trigger anything yet because the ability has not been defined yet\\
-Pulse reagent combo (2tail/1shard) causes stacked audio imbalance, seems a bit weak\\
==Other Notes:==
