Beta 0.4 Released on Steam

In this build, we’ve continued to kill bugs and tweak issues. We added in a new tutorial system in Story mode so that new players will not be lost. For the next build, we’ll start the comprehensive balance tweaks and adventure mode storyline, around September 5th. We’re also looking at how to get the game working correctly in 4K, finally got a 4K monitor in the studio.
