Version [0.1.1] - 2026-07-10 - Welcome 'FLEE'

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

### Added
- New Drone - FLEE - Another starting energy based drone. Very high rapid fire, tons of bullets, low health but high shields.
- Changelog view - Shows up in the options menu and on first launch of a new version. If you're reading this "in-game" then this is the thing that was added!
- Music - The final, in-sync, menu and battle music is in! Not probably playing it where we want yet though. Musician naile these tracks. NEED and will add info to see more of his work at some point in the future.
- Sounds - New economy sounds for selling, buying, and collecting rewards.
- Feature - Daily seed: everyone gets the same run each day. Seed doesn't change during the day so we can get a better test bed on single seeds. Also lends itself better for future leaderboard feature. May add more user control over seeds later.
- Settings View - CRT Effect Toggle - You can turn it off and make it flat. Play a long time with it on and then disable it for a weird feeling!
- Settings View - Music & sfx volume adjustments in settings view
- Main Menu - Added Discord Button so you can get there and not be square

### Changed
- VFX - CRT distortion effect follows mouse/pointer everywhere now. Was limited to button presses.
- Card Hover - Mouse over card brings card to front for quicker and cleaner inspection
- Money reward card colors changed to match other cards. Updated text to say "... credits". Updated label size on all cards.
- SFX - Raised sharpshooter volume.
- Balance - Enemy - Hubb - Energy DPS 50->75, reload 7s->6s (buff)
- Balance - Enemy - Satellite - Energy DPS 15->10 (nerf)
- Balance - Component - Energy Jumper - discard energy-damage bonus 1.5x-> 2x (buff)
- Balance - Economy - Interest - Interest after completing encounter now accumulates for every $10 instead of $5.
- Tweak - Enemies - Hubb, Nik, Satellite now hold a target until their target dies instead of updated all the time. Wanted these enemeis to focus on one target. Makes them more deadly and the ordering of enemies more important.
- Money - Start with $3.

### Fixed
- Fixed the game over screen occasionally getting blocked.
