Conversation dialog can be sped up by clicking

Dialog options selected previously (whether in a prior playthrough or in the same convo) appear grayed out

Added various dialogs between cultists that can be listened in on in key levels

Overhauled the dialog rendering system to use Unreal\'s rich text widgets

Added explosions

Added new Items:

• Chainsaw: Hold to saw, consumes fuel and has to rev-up

  [/*]

• Frag Grenade: Turns things into not things

  [/*]

• Terminus: Lever-action shotgun used by Malone/The Bartender

  [/*]

Gave each playable character a unique car

• Characters can only unlock/use their car

  [/*]

Reimplemented Stress

• Stress was a mechanic that was lost when all human/cultist characters were reworked

  [/*]

• Stress triggers when reaching 1 hp left and increases movement speed

  [/*]

• Stress is lost when the combo ends

  [/*]

Added placeholder animations for fanning the magnum (Firing quickly)

Added/upgraded Roadkill(Bartender, Malone)\'s character to the new framework for player characters

Added new sounds for throwing items

Added new compression fx to gunshots and hits

Thrown items now have tracers

Updated the layout of the diner, with adjusted bathroom and roof access

Knocked-down cultists now have a unique animation for being stunned

• Should make it easier to recognize enemies that are still alive

  [/*]

When using a two-handed melee weapon, tapping primary attack (and not fully charging the attack) will instead trigger the alt-fire bash

Enemies that are unarmed and cannot find a weapon will back away from the player

Enemies will now try to maintain a certain distance to their target, backing up if it is too close

• Should help with enemies dogpiling the player, this effect is most noticeable on enemies with guns as they will maintain a much further distance.

  [/*]

• This should also make sneaking up on enemies more important as they\'ll be harder to chase down once they\'ve spotted you.

  [/*]

Breaking open doors is now quieter and alerts less enemies

• Previously, entire rooms would be alerted upon opening a door, removing any need to enter the room before clearing it of enemies. Combat should be much more interesting now with less enemies rushing to your location instantly.

  [/*]

Adjusted Overdrive\'s 2nd floor to provide more cover to the central office space in order to make pushing that area more viable

The Prowler no longer coughs blood in the intro to a level

The first gang member in \'Overdrive\' always starts with body armor

Moved the pipe in Overdrive and added a pistol to the starting area

• The goal of the above 2 changes is to provide some light tutorialing for body armor, balance is still being worked on

  [/*]

\\[Technical] Vehicles can now be locked

The engines of cars must now be started and headlights are only on while the car is running

Adjusted \'High Rise\' to smooth out level flow

Added some new routes to the Mall and adjusted props to make some areas less constrained

Updated the first-half of the tutorial level to only have one-handed melee weapons

Neon Bars now break when performing an execution (But execute much faster and in one-hit)

Reduced the shotgun\'s muzzle velocity (3000-4000 > 2750-3250)

• Shotgun was very overpowered compared to other weapon options, range was reduced to keep its overall power but make it worse at long range-multikills

  [/*]

• For reference, the old muzzle velocity/range was on par with the rifle\'s

  [/*]

Enemies now remain knocked down for an additional second

• Executions should now be more useful as waiting for an enemy to begin standing up is always slower

  [/*]

Updated the bar environment

\\[Technical] Characters placed in-level (i.e. used for cutscenes) can now be referenced as playable characters

Rook\'s car will now properly disappear after switching to the Prowler in \'Night Prowler\'

Cultists with melee weapons will no longer rush towards a target and instead back away if they can\'t safely make it to them (i.e. the target is across a chasm)

Fixed being able to become \'invisible\' to enemies by walking against sloped walls

The gang outside in \'Overdrive\' now react to being shot/damaged

Fixed the Prowler\'s tail having an unexpectedly strong impact on their movement

Fixed the wrong music being displayed for the Mall level

Fixed the Rifle being unable to unload empty rounds

Potential fix for cultists with melee weapons getting their ai locked when picking up a new weapon and their target is within range

Fixed heavy blast attacks not being able to deal lethal damage

Fixed being able to deactivate items while performing an execution (even if the item hadn\'t been activated)

Fixed a state error that could occur if you died while executing an enemy and didn\'t release the execute button before respawning

Fixed held item not deactivating after finishing the prowler\'s boss fight

Fixed being unable to open the pause menu after signing a contract or other circumstances

Fixed Escape not closing certain menus correctly

Fixed the Prowler\'s tail clipping through the floor in the intro of \'Night Prowler\' on occasion

Fixed the health bar updating incorrectly when being updated continuously, notably while playing the Prowler.

Thrown items no longer collide with low props
