Alex and Amelia join the team)

they level up in tech.

9.5.3 Hotfix

Misc:
Reverted state limit to 999. (solved immunity issue
involving new status effects)
Enemies no longer crash when they enrage.

Dev note: pushing the engine past 999 states caused
extreme discombobulation. Working in the 999 state limit
will bring some challenges in the coming years, but they
can be overcome. There is still some room for new states,
as well as many states that aren't being used at all.
