Update 62-2: King and Horde, Fire and Ice

A new update! This post encompasses all the changes from 55-1 to 62-2, plenty of additions and changes but this post be so granular. Hopefully I actually wrote everything down too... Anyway, here's the changelog:

• Two new map types to encounter

• Six new enemies to slay 
• Elemental effects have been reworked; a gun with an elemental effect will apply its effect with a certain strength (before it was always the same strength), for example a gun with high ice effect will first slow enemies down a lot and if they get enough ice applied to them they will trigger a shatter and explode. Burning enemies can set the ground on fire - further spreading it.
• One new elemental effect, Lightning. Play to find out how it works!
• A new item type, Trinkets. These give certain passive benefits, you can now both have an active item (relics) and a trinket on.  Currently there are 8 different trinkets.

• Two new relics.
• One new Logan specific rune power (more to come!)
• Five new guns.
• Some guns have new secondary effects, e.g. Grenade Launcher can shoot its entire magazine with secondary fire. Fireball Launcher's projectiles' sets the ground on fire.
• Last level of act 1, and the demo, has been reworked. WIth an all new Astral King waiting for you at the end.

• UI waypoint marker towards bosses.
• Small numerical ammo counter for guns.
• A chest will now drop after every map completion, they can also drop more different things now.
• Resistance and armor calculations have been revised. Armor has been streamlined a bit to not be as convoluted; every point of armor will block 1 damage, every point of armor penetration a gun has will remove 1 armor.
• Gun crafting mods can now be rerolled.
• All guns have received some rebalancing. Too much to list.
• All reroll behaviours improved - rerolling something now should never give you a mod that you had when pressing the button.
• All loottables have been reworked.
• An all new gamepad specific info UI.
  
• Laser type guns have been reworked.
• Physics and collision improvements, like demon corpses can go flying.
• Tweaks and improvements to many map tilesets.
• New map objects, and new outfield objects.
• Destroying walls on some maps may drop rocks in your way. 
• Plains map has been tweaked, projectiles from mages are more predictable and tracks worse.
• 27 new gun mods. Get the homing mod for demon-seeking projectiles!
• Improved UI for items.
• Explosions can leave scorchmarks.
• Added localization support, for now there is English and Chinese.
• AI aggression tweaks.
• Impalers have been recolored for visibility.
