[h3]Happy one year anniversary since the launch of Pixel Noir![/h3]

It's patch time again...!

- Backend Checkpoint Feature Added! When the player enters a new scene, it will save a checkpoint. A checkpoint can be used multiple times no matter how many times you leave and come back into a scene. However, if upon entering a scene, a event immediately triggers, it won't save a checkpoint, but instead use the previous scene as a checkpoint. When the player gets a game over, the game will start over from the checkpoint instead of loading from the last save point. A checkpoint is not a save. If you quit or close the game, you will have to load from your load data. You won't be able to manually load a checkpoint from the load menu.

- Shade has a new summon! It's called Temptation's Rage which damages an enemy and can cause Enrage and Confusion status effects.

- Fix to characters walking in place in events. This has been happening sometimes.

- Fixed moving buff / de-buff and status effect icon positioning in battles. When the camera would zoom for various reasons it would change the positioning of these.

- Fix to collider on the dead body at the crime scene in ch1. This was way off the target so we moved it and made the interaction larger for easier access.

- Polish to ch2 where the player fights Woof in the prison yard.
