Build 0.12: a new Demiurge and a new zone!

Dear, dear Wanderers

We took longer than usual to craft today’s update.

We decided it was worth it to make you wait a while, since we had so many things to work on and finally show you. We made so many corrections, changes and additions, we really really hope you'll like everything that's new ♥

In order to make sure it all works fine, please remember to start a new game after downloading the patch notes.
