Playing-With-Fire: Update v1.5 (Public Testing)
HERE WE GO! It's v1.5 time, Renegades! Thank you so much for your patience!
As a special gift to you legacy players, we've got a new batch of content specifically for those of you who have beaten the game a bunch of times! In addition, there's also a long-requested feature: being able to recruit Progeny mid-run.
Oh, and a new hero! Actually, yeah, this is a massive update!
You may have seen we're releasing it to the wild next week, but in the meantime, go nuts! As always, we'd love for you to give any feedback (and, of course, bug reports!) to our discord! Come say hi!
Thanks again, Playing-With-Fire-ers!
Improvements & Fixes
• New secret ending specifically for legacy players!
• Finish the game with a squad made up ENTIRELY of heroes whose overseer counterparts have been defeated, and you'll have the chance to enter the Imperium home dimension and bring the fight to them!
• By successfully defeating the Imperium in their home dimension, you'll unlock a special hero: the Dark Paragon
• For this purpose, you'll notice new insignias on the Squad Selection Screen and recruitment screens indicating who has and hasn't had their overseer counterpart defeated.
• To do this, you first need to help Professor Zurek decode a mysterious new Imperium Dimension transmission by securing Imperium cryptography devices. To find out more, you'll just need to play!
• Be sure to join our Playing-With-Fire discord to give feedback. We'll be paying lots of attention over the next week!
• Also, mid-run hero recruitment has been opened up to progeny as well!

• fixed some title strings for the tutorial pop-up headers
• fixed some localization hookups for events wherein hero names would revert to english.
• The Prycon abomination no longer disappears in certain circumstances on day 3 on Prycon if he has no inner areas to migrate to. Instead, he might migrate to a slightly outer area. NOTE: if the area he migrates to is locked, you can use the de-locking console to reach him.

• Fixed an issue where, when the Spectre was Marked, her Stealth power was totally hidden from the power list, instead of just being greyed out.
• Fixed an issue where the Centurion wasn't using his satellite attack powers, and was instead not performing any actions in that round instead.
• Fixed an issue causing Guardian's Stronghold to generate shields on allies when hit.

Playing-With-Fire: Hotfix v1.4.0.10 (Public Testing)
Hellllllloooo! So, seriously, this will be the last update on PWF in a little bit. There's some known issues regarding enemy behaviours acting weird (little skipped turns here and there) as well an issue where instant-firing aoe attacks can cause soft locks if you trigger them too quickly to one another, but those are going to take a bit more time to fix and/or test. We'll get on those as soon as we can though. In the meantime, enjoy!
Improvements & Fixes

Playing-With-Fire: Hotfix v1.4.0.9 (Public Testing)
A few last-minute fixes that we'll be pushing into the default branch with our large 1.4.1 update (containing allll the fixes pushed in the last two weeks!)
NOTE: We've pushed a bit of a stagger system adjustments, whereby non-crit attacks with stagger will no longer reduce the target's stagger points. We'd love to hear feedback on the change. It reduces frustration, adds a bit more stagger dynamism and simplifies things a bit. All those things are a plus to us, so we're going to go with it on PWF branch and see how everyone likes it!
Improvements & Fixes
• Fixed a QOL issue wherein if the Marksman went from Sniper Mode directly into Defend, it would retain Sniper Mode's vulnerability effect. Now the vulnerability gets nullified upon the use of the defend power.
