Update v1.16
Happy one year anniversary since the launch of Pixel Noir!
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.

Update v1.15
Let's get into it!
- Pathfinding has been totally overhauled! We stripped out the old system and implemented a new one which will end the issues with any studdering, delays or freezing. This also optimizes all walk paths / cycles characters inside / outside of event cinematics. Also resulting in better ladder climbing to account for this new pathfinding system AND any issues with rooftops causing freezes or weird glitches with the layering of objects in a scene.
- Enemy downed response / get up time has been adjusted to a 30 seconds instead of anything lower than 15 seconds before this patch. Along with that, once you've defeated enemies that popped out from behind buildings or walls, they will now wait to respawn before popping out again when the player leaves a room and comes back before popping out again.
- Optimized loading when transitioning between scenes, so the next scene loads faster.
- Implemented framework for Spanish localization (This will be patched in eventually -TBA).
- Implemented saving CRDTech card attributes, so they no longer change every time a tCRDTech match starts. Cards now have permanent attributes but they will differer from new game to new game.
- Fixed enemies that would run away into another room then if respawned would stay faded out. AND fixed enemies fading out during room transition and stay faded out.
- Fixed bug where Shade and V-Money would sometimes start at level 1 now correctly start at higher levels.
- Fixed reload menu showing no bullets when the Detective or Deuce dies / characters who use guns in battle.
- Fixed police station events respawning in Docks late in ch7 which caused a loop where it can stop the player from progressing.
- Fixed max item being exceeded when having 99 of an item then picking up another item in the field allowing the player to break the 99 item limit.
- Fixed rare instances where battles can softfreeze for unknown reasons.
- Fixed all known outstanding layering issues.....
...And various small polish edits game wide... As always, we welcome all feedback and bug reports to us directly in our Discord.

Update v1.14

- Locked door to apt where Odd Couple case ends because players could repeat closing out the case.
- Detached party members at Phil / intro to CRDTech cinematics in Junkyard
- More events and scene colliders that result in soft-freezing due to a character not being able to get to their walking destinations. (ie: Boardwalk Black market guy running into building)
- Added inventory check for 99 candy bars in lauroundtwo ch2 cinematic. Taking into account New Game + inventory
- Statsheet edits for many higher level enemies.
Still to fix....

We Fixed:::
- A few events where character circle colliders may cause walk path soft freezing.

- Skill point notification window glitch.
- Added Controller Map help to Walking Encyclopedia NPC.
