Knights Within News

small update
(please expect less frequent updates to the demo as I prioritize working on the base game for early access release)

• Able to go back pages in tutorial by holding interact
  
• Improved mission select menu scaling for non 16:9 aspect ratio resolutions
  
• Fixed clients not seeing their bullet vfx when hitting nothing
  
• Reduced base Dash cost to 8 (was 10) but mobility gear stat now affects this as well. Increased base dash distance slightly to compensate
  
• 4 new beacons
  
• 3 new mutations
  
• Changed spawning mutations (elites/specials etc) to work off of base % chance instead of being additive % chance. This should make the increase more gradual when these mutations roll
