As new content and mechanics are still in the oven (Topie Chan will return soon!), we continue to improve and tweak the current experience – just in time for the Summer Sale! Players both new and old, here’s the changes you can expect:
- Quick saving/loading can’t be done in menu anymore (particularly important for not accidentally loading)
- You can no longer save while in midair or reloading, it will instead be queued up (assuming you don't go splat on the ground)
- Inventory item values (uses/ammo counts) don’t disappear on save anymore
- NPCs "speak" during conversations again
- Gas grenade clouds shouldn't continue to deal damage after loading a save
- Fixed glitch causing melee weapons to instakill enemies while sprinting with a specific set of inputs
- Grenades and nade-like objects should be less buggy (still working on this)
- Fixed some weapons going pink when using thermoptic. Interestingly enough, sword and nade were fucked in completely different ways, leading to the same result.
- Large batteries can’t drop limb health below zero anymore
- Added precautions against the elusive “APS spikes become huge“ bug. Still not sure why they occasionally decide to fill half of a room
- Weapons shortened with the hacksaw (as well as the hacksaw itself) should save properly
- You can't change firing mode while hacking anymore
- The Map Drone can now be detected by NPCs if you knock one out with it
- Disabled saves on arena since it wasn't supposed to have them
- Improved the shader for cloaked items in third person
- Improved character meshes (including armbands and new gasmasks)
- Camera zoom function can be reassigned to different keys now
- Added “Next Hotslot” and “Previous Hotslot” keymappings (defaults are brackets)
- Added the option to map mouse scrollwheel input (used for camera zoom as default but can be assigned for switching hotslots a’la Deus Ex… or bunnyhopping)
- Fixed cassette playback glitching out on Sunday Summer
- Third Hallway Weirdo selection box won’t glitch out
- Kasia’s bathroom door is now corporeal (ya creep)
- Removed vestigial sound effects and improved particle effects
- Made funicular in factory lab not lock Marie’s rotation
- Removed duplicate elevator panel in apartments
- You can’t claim a speedrun world record on Chasm with a goddamn debug cheat anymore
- New outfit in the cheat menu
- Renamed some of the levels to not cause confusion with real world places, which only inspired them
