Groove_Salad vs. the Game

Changes stuff, or whatever?

Item Reworks

Reworks or rebalances 16 items.

• Focuses on unfun or overly weak items to increase build variety without raising the player's power ceiling
• The current scope is only standard items, but boss, lunar, and void items may be included in the future

Stronger Monsters

Buffs many 'basic' monsters like Beetles, Lemurians, and Lesser Wisps.

• Beetles gain a new 'Burrow' skill
• Also includes some minor director tweaks
