New Display Settings: Bloom Slider + an option to to disable Flashing LIghts
Fix: "On a mission" achievement was never triggering! Oups. Sorry! When you launch this version, the achievement will try to 'catch up' and trigger. If it doesn't, complete any mission (in missions mode) and it will trigger.

FOV Slider! Different bots have different FOVs, so this slider scales the main Bug's default FOV, and the same scaling is then applied to the other mobile bots. Bugs have also been given a focus/zoom to make reading screens etc easier at wider FOVs.
Change: VaQ tool deilineated 'suck up' from 'suck to' - they used to both be on LMB and switch behaviour depending on what was being aimed at, they're now independenly operable on LMB/RMB.
Fix: Accumulated stats weren't taking Prologue stats into account until far too late in the game [reported by Sinnoware]

A small hot-fix. I'm trying to batch fixes up to avoid the game updating too often, but this one is needed NOW because of a game-blocking number format issue for players in Poland (and likely elsewhere).
Fix: Global number formats now taken in to consideration (thanks Margaritea)
Fix: No more getting softlocked inside crates (thanks English Language)
Fix: A certain villain was metamorphosing mysteriously into one of the good guys if you, erm, took him as a pet :D (thanks Margaritea)

Huge thanks to one particular player who reported many of these and provided me with the data to pin them down. You are a star.
New Motion Setting: There's now an option to stabilize your EYE (player camera)
Find it under Controls > Input Settings > Motion

Demo Update 1.6.0
Prelude! Shotgun! Missions!
Very pleased to announce a fairly major update to the demo. No less than three new features!
Prelude!
There is now a completely new pre-prologue section to the game, which we're calling a Prelude because we're running out of words for sections that come before Chapter 1.
Its purpose is to kick off the campaign with a bit of early drama - to provide a taste of what is to come,
Shotgun!
Why didn't the game always have a gun? Somehow it didn't make sense for there to be a gun, but now somehow it does, and so that's the official answer.
Missions!
In addition to the main campaign, you can now play standalone missions. Replay segements from the campaign with different gear or to experiment with a different approach. Or play the TWO NEW CHALLENGE MISSIONS e.g.:
The plan is continue to grow the number of available Missions. There's room for action missions, stealth missions, problem solving missions, challenge missions, missions at new locations etc.
Controller Fix
The update also fixes a controller problem - a deadzone is now implemented.
Demo Patch 1.5.25
Changes
I'm not going to bother listing them - nothing exciting - just a number of small bits and pieces migrated across from the full build to keep demo in step.
The most notable thing is I've streamlined the prologue a bit.
Demo Patch 1.5.24
Changes
You can now play with a controller/gamepad
Grab improved, less likely to drop unintentionally
Various small tweaks here and there
Demo Patch 1.5.23
Gameplay Changes/Improvements
Grabbing and Throwing stuff damage calculation improved to make more likely to cause damage, and to cause greater damage. Means e.g. you can hurt - even kill - enemies doing this now.
Ether canisters: Players weren't noticing 'em, so they're now a lot more noticeable. Throwing them means they'll more than likely implode (physics based calculation), causing explosion damage.
Doors: Now cause collision damage if they're closed on destructible stuff
Cute Lift: Is now more physics aware, can deal collision damage in certain situations.
Bug Program Changes
Aeronautics/Rocket now deals a little collision damage even when unwormed
Shift/Shock: Controls + prompts + feedback improved + you can now shock Evil Eyes
Egonomics / Bug Free Zone Map
Now making extra sure Mr Bossman pops up when he's supposed to
Big Fat Crates swapped for Self-Serialisable variant to give player more options
Egonomics department floor collider was slighly under the floor.
Drain ego engine warning: warning was still showing after having drained the ego engine, oups.
Rocket Launch Site Map
BugBox: Explicit objective added to open the bug box, triggers if player has found but not opened it
The long blue crates blocking the exit door had mass set too low and so were unintentionally grabbable.
Debugger Map
Added in some extra insights to assist players who might be struggling without a decent weapon/tool available
Doors open a smidgen higher so you can see beyond them more easily when in ctrl of a DAD
Added a prompt to remind players they can zoom camera as DAD
Misc Improvements
DADs that had previously been ctrl'd but not currently ctrl'd were jiggling when horizontal.
META: Added a new META to teach/remind about TAB/INFO. Triggers when first ctrl a Matey Boy bot.
BugLocks: Door lights now transition from red -> green on unlock
The very first BugLock: Added an extra prompt to make the in-game on-screen button less missable
Performance Monitors now show number of Disks in local area. Knowing they're there might encourage more players to look for them.
