• Loading a Saved Game created by a Checkpoint will now give players two seconds of immunity against enemy attacks.
  
• This is exclusively applied to Checkpoints. Quick Saves will not offer Save Protection.
  

Smart Tutorial Prompts

• Headshots no longer cause enemies to enter their sideways Stumble animation.

Weapon Wheel

• The Weapon Wheel now always shows 10 Weapon Slots regardless of whether the player owns the weapon.
  
• SPECIAL CAMPAIGN: Weapon Wheel now shows Weapon Stats when selecting a weapon.
  DEV NOTE: A common critique was how weapons switched positions on the Weapon Wheel whenever a new weapon had been acquired, messing with the player's muscle memory. This change should solve that and make it faster to switch weapons from memory.
  

Leg Shots

• Enemies now react to being shot in the leg.
  
• Shooting an enemy in the leg while they are moving has a very high chance to cause them to stumble. This is a pain animation that lasts longer than other pain animations.

• Enemies are now less likely to trigger a stumble animation from body shots, but it's still possible.

• Locked by default. Unlocked by finding Burger Flipper in level 3-2

• Added collision sound effects when colliding with common props (crates, barrels, etc.).
  
• Added an Object Bumping system. Small props will now get kicked out of the way when walking over them.

• Improved footstep sounds and completely reworked ventilation footstep sounds.
  
• Boosted the volume of most ambient effects. They were too subtle and barely audible without headphones.

• Added vacuum cleaning sound for VAC-Bots

• Reduced chance for enemies to drop Weapon Parts.

• Increased Flashlight Battery Recharge Rate (10 -> 20)

• Soldiers are much better at ensuring the grenade lands near the player.
  
• 'Hot Drops' have a slightly longer fuse timer to allow more time for the player to evade.
  

• Stealth kills are now more reliable, and melee kills from the back will now insta-kill the enemy.

• Added 'Steam Workshop' info screen to the main menu.

• Added Steam Trading Cards. One card will be given every 30 minutes of play
  
• Added Selaco themed backgrounds, stickers and emoji to the Steam Point Shop

• Quicksaves and autosaves have been reworked to function properly with Steam Cloud saving. Previously, when using two different machines, some autosaves/quicksaves could be overwritten in the wrong order, which was very confusing.
  
• Save files will be migrated to a single folder. The first time you launch Selaco, all saves will be backed up and migrated into the program folder so they can properly be synchronized between platforms.
  
• Steam Deck/Linux and Windows should now be able to synchronize saves correctly.

• Some portions of the Weapon Station UI have been touched

• Added "Skip Splash Screens" options to go straight to the menu after loading the game

• This system allows us to update the game, including levels, while retaining full savegame compatibility.
  
• There are some limitations. Any level you have visited in your saved game will still be identical to the version from before the update. Level versioning is only applied to new levels that have not been loaded in your saved game before.
  
• While we have thoroughly tested this with our playtesters, errors may occur when traveling to previously loaded levels. If this happens, please let us know!

• Added support for unlockable Mutators. This will be utilized more in the future

• All enemies are stronger with slightly more health, pain resistance, ability chances, and mobility options (strafe and flank chances).
  
• Dawn spawns with the highest possible Tech Module, making all upgrades purchasable right away.
  
• Killed enemies drop credits and/or Weapon Parts.
  
• Pathfinder Memorial's Saferoom is unlocked right from the start.
  
• Enemies will have other surprises that we will not spoil.

• Booster Mutator that increases armor durability by 25%.

• Save price decreased from 400 to 300.
  
• Removed Hardcore Mode Mag Dumping. Rather than throw away all the ammo, it will now use the same approach as Traditional Mode. We understand that some people liked this approach, so we are considering adding it back as a separate mutator!

• Added ability to zoom in and out while firing.

• Added distance-based headshot damage. Using the DMR at long range will now eliminate soldiers with a single headshot.
  
• Slightly increased reloading speed

• Added 'Quick Swap' upgrade for faster weapon switching to the shotgun.
  
• Added 'Improved Pump Grip' upgrade for faster shotgun pumping.

• Reduced maximum spread (5.2 -> 4.8) for improved sustained fire.
  
• WEAPON KITS:
  
  • Added 'Burst Fire (Hip)'. Replaces primary fire with a burst fire. This deals +1 damage per shot.
    
  • Added 'Burst Fire (Zoom)'. Replaces zoom fire with a zoomed burst fire. This has 25% increased accuracy.
    
  • Removed traditional 'Burst Fire'.
    
  • 'Scarab Mode' no longer carries over across new campaigns. This upgrade was never meant to be found without cheats.
  
  
• Added 'UC-36B Framework' upgrade. This is a free upgrade once you hit Tech Module 3.
  
• Auxiliary launcher now deals 25% additional grenade damage.
  
• Improved firing sound to be a bit more punchy.

• Added sound and lighting effects when killing soldiers with the Plasma Rifle

• Added 'Mule Stock' upgrade. This will decrease spread but add a little bit of recoil that requires control.
  
• Added 'Magnetic Rounds'. This increases damage against small robotic enemies, making the SMG even more suitable for clearing Crawler Mines and Saw Drones.
  
• 'Extended Barrel' now reduces spread by 45 instead of 85. Combined with Mule Stock, you will be able to reduce spread further than before.
  
• DUAL WIELD: Slightly increased spread per shot

• Added an extra sound effect while reloading

• Increased self-damage by 25%. It was never meant to deal this little damage to the player.

• Added 'Invincibility Frames' while dashing. The first couple of frames while dashing will now make Dawn immune to bullets. Any other hazards (like Area of Effect damage or fire) will still hurt Dawn. This effect is brief, but if you can time this with incoming attacks, a lot of damage can be mitigated.
  
• With dashes being a bit more useful than usual, its cooldown has been increased by 20%.
  
• Reduced full slide cooldown (3.0s -> 2.5s) to allow for a bit more sliding

• Increased pick-up radius to be less clunky.

• Made enemies a lot more reactionary. They move around more and do a better job at wandering around the backline of combat

• Riflemen are now a bit more mobile, mostly in terms of strafing ability
  
• Their 'martyrdom' grenades that can drop when killed, now explode sooner. They were far too slow and barely serve a threat.
  
• Added visible grenade pin when a 'Martyrdom' grenade is triggered

• Melee Types have their health reduced (150 -> 120)
  
• Ranged Types have their damage reduced (8 -> 6)
  
• Ranged Types have their health reduced (130 -> 110)

• Fixed an error where they would spawn more gibs than intended (4 arms or 4 legs)

• Corrected Cloud Save directory. Due to an error this was not working. Please let us know if it works now!
  

BUG FIXES

• Fixed a crash that could be caused by some objects failing to penetrate glass
  
• Fixed credits being invisible at the end of the Episode
  
• Fixed an infinite loop if a crushed soda can is crushed again by a door
  
• Added some missing Patreon backer credits
  
• Fixed a crash caused by Crawler Mines attacking a dead player
  
• Toolbox Drawers no longer have an overly generous hitbox
  
• Fixed typo where the Cricket Headshot upgrade mentioned 30% more damage instead of 60%.
  

I want to go back to the old build!
