• [p]you can now control jim while riding him[/p]
• [p]fixed/added(?) steam screenshot functionality[/p]
  • [p]had no idea how to fix this previously, not sure how other games usually do it but apparently it was something i had to add in manually instead of it being an automatic feature? it should be working now, you can press F11 during missions to take a screenshot[/p]
• [p]fixed credit count displayed showing an extra zero on the main menu[/p]
• [p]hovering over recruits on the pause menu will now display their active & passive info, as well as levels & stats[/p]

• [p]added new cameo recruits[/p]
• [p]added new rare power-ups dropped from enemies: Pepper, Ice Cream, Mushroom, Coffee, & Starfruit[/p]
  • [p]Hell Tome has been replaced by Pepper, basically just the same thing[/p]
  • [p]some recruit passives have been changed to incorporate the new power-ups (i.e. moffbucks employees now increase coffee drop chance)[/p]
• [p]added a new tab in the directory for Pickups (gems, cake, etc.)[/p]
• [p]updated Maw's character portrait & adjusted some designs of the AGGRO recruits[/p]

  • [p]if you somehow got all the abandoned recruits through employee crates, you can get the secret achievement by going to the synergy tab on the main menu[/p]
• [p]added new hairstyles, hats, & clothing for custom interns[/p]
• [p]removed pressing space while entering in a custom intern's name counting as "enter"[/p]

• [p]minor bug fixes & changes[/p]

[p]while you're reading this, here's something neat i've been cooking up recently:[/p][p][/p][p]i've been working on some prototypes for a game based around the AGGRO ladies, it's heavily inspired by NIKKE: Goddess of Victory (both the dialogue and combat systems)[/p][p]mostly just playing around with ideas and characters, not sure if i'll end up finishing it but apparently a few people are interested in the idea? i've had a few tweets on twitter about it go semi-viral recently (one had 11k+ likes for some godforsaken reason)[/p][p]so uhhh... yeah? new game maybe? we'll see ːlil_dudeː[/p]

[p]Hey gang! Another small content update, plus some news on community items which will be available sometime in the next few days! (hopefully)[/p][h3]v1.9.1 Update[/h3][p]Since the game was pretty close to beating the current Guinness world record for most playable characters in a video game in the previous update, I decided to go around and ask some people for their characters to bump up the number a bit, and I am proud to say that Solace Inc has finally beaten that milestone![/p][p][/p][p]So uhh... yeah! Take that, obscure wrestling PS2 game![/p][p]I sent an application to Guinness World Records just for the hell of it, I doubt I'll hear back from them but it's worth a shot (honestly I don't really care about the record that much, this has mostly been a personal goal that I wanted to achieve with this game)[/p][p]A lot of the new characters I've added in this update are cameos, some of them are characters that a few people might recognize...?[/p][p][/p][p]There's one cameo that I've omitted because I'm still waiting to hear back from a publisher to get their permission, I might put out a small patch that adds them in if they respond[/p][p]I've also added in a few of my own characters, a certain subset of them have an interesting unlock method that might require some sleuthing and puzzle solving... I won't say much but I will say everything you need is in-game and I would recommend looking at the Synergies tab in the Directory[/p][p]Also, for the 3 people that have the 18+ DLC I've added in a few bonus animations in the research tab, I haven't touched it in a while and figured I should add some extra stuff there[/p][h3]Community Items[/h3][p][/p][p]Solace Inc was recently approved for community items (trading cards, badges, emotes, etc.), so I've been working on adding those in and getting them approved, they will be available some time in the very near future! (most likely in the next few days)[/p][p]I was planning on releasing them alongside this update, but since they're still under review and Valve likes to take their time getting things approved (and will sometimes reject things over small details) I figured I'd just release them whenever they're ready so that I don't have to postpone this update, just wanted to give you guys a heads up in case you suddenly get some trading cards in your inventory[/p][p]That's all, hope you guys enjoy!
