[h2]BETA Update 1.44.0 Changelog:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

FIXED a case with the "Down the Drain" side quest where the full reward would not be given to the player (Sorry, this quest had a lot of stuff to test and this one seemed to slip through)


Changes & Additions:

Improved stash interface (Also improved the wardrobe interface attached)
Added new item/status icon art
Resting now restores 10 condition instead of 15 (This is to make food a bit more appealing)
Slightly lowered (10%) the amount of health and mettle recovered while resting
Peaceful sleeper now gives an extra 10 condition from resting instead of 15
Added malnourished status effect (Only can apply to the main character - 10% reduced mettle/health, -1% AP regen, -1% Mettle Regen, -10 Initiative --- All you need to do is keep your condition above 0% to avoid this and eating will IMMEDIATELY remove it)
Reaching 0 condition will now automatically apply the malnourished status to the main character - Eat something! I made those items for a reason!
All nourishment items that are actual food will now immediately remove the malnourished status
Updated tutorial to mention malnourishment when at 0 condition
Optimized some old processes to be more efficient
Updated text color lists for different types of NPCs (Will be used for the next major update)
Cleaned up some old code
Added new unique character faces and sprites (Will be used for the next major update)
Added handler methods for the new Supporter Cosmetic Pack 3 DLC (Will be released over the next few days)
Added 8 new exclusive Supporter Cosmetic Pack 3 DLC skins
Various other small tweaks and adjustments

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

Also, if you have questions, concerns, or requests, please visit the official Chaos Chain Steam Forums or join the official Discord Channel! I've also gone ahead and started an official Patreon Page to help bring in financial support for the game going forward.

Stay Alert. Stay Armed. Stay Alive. Don't lose your humanity.

That's all for now, enjoy!
