- each pickup item (ammo, health) capacity X5 modifier;

2. UI for endgame in the 'options' menu;

3. Logic for enabling endgame mode (each ability could be enabled or disabled separately);

5. Added 'Skip to key decision' point option in relevant dialogues;

Patch Notes: Version 0.99.2 'End of Patching Combo'
- Level 3: minor light tweaks in dark areas;
- Level 8: added 1 checkpoint after playing;
- Level 9: 1'st dialogue minor fix;
- Level 10: a tweak in flying plasma trajectories, and enemies' health; lowered Cain requirements for the last dialogue branch;

All annoying bugs and 'blockers' are fixed now.
In an ideal world, the game release version should be at least on that level! But hey! Just did my best to fix it asap.
A few minor 'todo' still could wait for next weekend.
So I will stop this new nightly builds 'patching combo' and proceed with 1 update per 1-2 weeks updates.

Feel free to give immediate feedback in case of any annoying bugs/blockers.
Cheers

V.0.99 'Almost There' patch


Patch Notes: Version 0.99 'Almost There' Patch

'Epilogues Repository' level:

Added pickups and a few additional enemy spawners based on extensive playtesting.
Fixed several ID issues for improved gameplay consistency.
Introduced two new ending variants: an ending monologue and an actual part of the level where it is located, bringing the total number of endings to 30.
We appreciate your feedback and support as we near the final release. Please continue to report any issues or suggestions to help us improve the game further.

Thank you for your continued support!

v.0.98.7 Key decisions dialogues hotfix. pause menu UI improvement
- Hotfixed wrong ID assignment at some key decisions dialogues;
- Updated UI of pause menu: now it shows current key decision results and number/index of 1 of 28 end dialogues which are available in the 'Epilogues Repository' level.

N.B. updates rate will e decrease as soon I will reach v 1.0.
There are still some fixes to do.

v.0.98.6 Level 'Epilogues Repository' quality of life minor update
1. Finalized the 'breadcrumbs' update. (neon letters near each 'mission wall' which depends on the key decision the player made during the game);

2. Lighting improvements;

3. Camera changes at elevators traveling;

4. Add tertiary small props/graffiti/debris etc.

5. Enemies tweaks;

6. The first echelon of 'mission walls' logic change:
was -> 'opens' after the player made key decisions at 9-10 level;
now -> 'opens' after the first 'key decision' was made at level 1 (lie/neutral/true to Kaya); so it is a little less confusing but not perfect yet.

Update 0.98.5 'Let there be light'
1. 'Seaport' level improvements:
- HOTFIX: resolved 'darkness' issue (hope this time it's final :) );
- added a few checkpoints;
- tweaked some enemies' & pickup locations;
