Citadel Prime has now received its first major update that touches almost every aspect of the existing game and adds a huge amount of new content. As a TL;DR, this update adds lots of new things to unlock, a new final area which houses the new final boss, and some additional endings. The game underwent major rebalancing, mostly focused on making guns and certain items stronger.

Final Notes:

Saves for 1.0.0 are compatible with the updated save system, so any progress from the old version can be carried over to the new one. The install method has been changed from being a zip file to an installer to make the process easier and avoid potential issues with the game's files being misplaced. Depending on the level of interest, the game may receive a Mac port, so if that is something you want to see, let me know.
