New Items and Legendary Reworks!

Hi folks,

Hope your weekend is going well!

We just deployed an update for DemonCrawl that includes official Linux support, 5 brand new items, a prompt that lets you choose which legendary item to keep, various legendary tweaks, and several UI enhancements.

This patch also includes a lot of foundational work for localization support. We are very eager to begin translating DemonCrawl to other languages! If you think you can help with this, feel free to take a look at our documentation and shoot us an email at support@therefore.games with some details about your professional background.

We hope you enjoy! Full patch notes are below.
