Posted by on

Hello, everyone.

This will be the last build before Steam Greenlight hits (barring catastrophic build failure reports!). It's 11 p.m. over here so I'll give you the short version:

-------------------------------------------------
New Features
-------------------------------------------------
Reduced base sight range for squad members.
Increased base sight range for monsters.
Added weapon mods: laser and flashlight. Laser increases accuracy, flashlight increases sight range.
Cycling weapon attachments (laser/flashlight) costs action points.
Grenade keybind removed; added Cycle weapon attachment keybind in its place.
Changed Leader and Scout class talents to reflect the new 4/8 system.
Implemented Grenadier class talents (Napalm not yet implemented - just a normal ranged attack for now).
Implemented Support class talents.
Allow player to take either talent of a pair, but it overwrites the other.
Added game setting options for monster turn speed.
Added game setting options for toggling auto-end turn.
Added game setting options for toggling auto-switch squad members.
Stripped left side info and put it in right panel. Left side is for squad information, right side is for more detailed individual information.
All in-place actions now face the character In the appropriate direction.
Removed Action Point cap.
Increased damage and accuracy ranges for randomized weapons.
Updated thrown grenades to hit and explode in even empty tiles.
Thrown grenades explode in empty tiles when max range is obstructed.

Added full weapon sprites for inventory icons.
Fixed broken tool tips for inventory slots 9-12.

-------------------------------------------------
