0.4.0.1
Card Sorting: Cards are now sortable by rarity and name. Rarer cards will appear first in all panels. Identical cards are now grouped together.
Healing Card Balance: Healing card effects have been adjusted for balance. Previously, battles with passive enemies allowed for full health restoration. Healing is now only possible during specific events.

Temporary Buff Icons: All buffs have received temporary icons.
Map Generation Algorithm: The map generation algorithm has been changed. The previous algorithm caused game events to cluster around the edges of the map. The placement of enemies and points of interest should now be more evenly distributed.

The localization system has been updated and new characters have been added to the fonts.
Thanks to the hard work of @gumoo, version 0.2.3 has been translated into Turkish. This translation has also been added to version 0.2.6.2.

Added a "Pathfinder" - if the Journey map is generated in such a way that the player cannot reach the portal, this system will create the necessary path.
Due to the fact that now any Journey can be guaranteed to be exited - early exit (via the button in the interface) from the Journey no longer gives resources.
Changed the price of costumes in the shop.
Added a new resource that is given for boss items and is needed to buy "unusual" costumes from Olivia.

Rebalanced the Journey system - changed spells, enemy strength, and health.
Separated the inventory for loot and equipped spells. You no longer have to choose between taking a couple of spells or a valuable item.

Removed energy tokens from resource mini-games. Energy is now awarded based on the length of collected chains. The longer the chain, the more energy you receive (thanks to Habish for the idea!).
Fixed a bug where the "fullscreen mode" checkbox in the settings did not take into account the current state of the screen and could minimize the window each time you exited the settings.
Updated resource mini-game field generation.
The mine now generates the playing field in "chunks" – small, ready-to-collect groups of resources. Gradually, the playing field will degrade into a chaotic state to prevent infinite gameplay at the expense of energy.
Added an active quest widget to the game map HUD. It shows all current tasks and can be hidden by pressing the button in the interface (thanks to Habish for the idea!).
Updated mini-game tutorial.
A significant portion of the CG scenes have been transferred to the new "interactive" system. This will significantly improve engagement and allow you to leisurely enjoy the best frames.
