*Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.*

[h2]BETA Update 1.85.0 Change Log:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

    

  • FIXED edge and opportunity status effects text appearing in red instead of blue when added
  • FIXED a couple of item icons that were not centered in their cell
  • FIXED edge status effect being able to be added to characters who were downed or drained
  • FIXED drone default skills/attacks that add status effects to them (Positive) no longer display their text in red


Changes & Additions:

    

  • Improved player party position in combat so that none of the sprites are cut off by the interface and also spaced them out a bit more on the x-plane
  • Added a new background and title soundtrack by atrist Necrosynthetik (Background - ominous)
  • Added audio wave symbol icon art for all battle callouts/barks
  • Upgraded the battle callout system to now work for both enemies and actors (Actors now have their own barks in combat - some of them are unique to them and some are share with enemies if they fit the character - chronic has some great one liners!)
  • Added several new battle callouts/barks that are actor specific
  • Improved code for battle callouts/barks so it has failsafes to prevent crashes moving forward (This is a precautionary measure as I add new expansions attached to it)
  • Added new enemy battle callouts/barks
  • Updated some help text in various places with elaborated hints
  • Updated a portrait image to be more distinct
  • Updated some furniture in a few areas to be more "futuristic"
  • Added an example custom portrait image file to the game directory (Many of you will recognize these faces from Waste Walkers!)
  • Several other tweaks and minor changes


Please let me know of any bugs or issues you encounter so I can fix them. This update will be available for download shortly.
