Countless bugfixes

Update 1.0.13 (1 July 2019)

Added option to reset skill tree: It is now possible to reset the skill tree of a character during the setup phase before the adventure begins. There's a cost attached to it and every time you reset a character the cost increases exponentially. We may change/adapt how exactly all this works again in the future.

No Bloodshed option: When active, the game removes or replaces blood and gore. It changes nothing in terms of gameplay, but simply removes some elements of gore.

Improved Dog Friendly option: When active, the dog friendly mode now in addition to removing sfx also makes the dogs disappear rather then die. We've also disabled any character prompts that may be seen as hurtful towards dogs.

Fixed a bug that caused the loading screen in the final encounter in Adventure III to hang.

Damage calculation has been slightly tweaked. In most situations this won't be noticeable, but in some circumstances it can lead to a slightly increased damage.

Update 1.0.12 (22 May 2019)

Ambush behaviour is modified slightly. You can now perform any action after setting an ambush except for moving. If you move, your ambush will be canceled. Previously setting an ambush would prevent most successive actions, but not consistently so. The changed behaviour is now more in line with other special abilities and their behaviour.

Added bleed duration and damage to the knife tooltip

Update 1.0.11 (16 May 2019) Stack Splitting and AI Turn Speed-Up are in!

Before diving into the details of today's update, we'd like to mention our plans for the near future. Our weekly updates will continue with QoL features as well as the usual bug fixes. At the same time we're working on some more significant changes that we will release in a bigger update later in the summer. This update will address deeper issues we see with the game as well as bring in a bunch of new content. The Japanese and Chinese translation of the game will also be released as part of that update. We're pretty excited about the things we've got planned and we will start talking about some of the changes soon. To clarify: This update will not be a "DLC" but instead a major free update to the base game that will include some new content and improve the existing game in various ways. In the meantime here's what we've added in today's update:
Stack Splitting

There's now a new action when clicking on items in your inventory that will allow you to split stacks. Of course you can always combine them back together by dragging them on top of each other.
AI Turn Speed-Up

This is a nice convenience feature for the impatient ;) During the AI turn, you'll find a new button at the bottom of the screen that lets you accelerate the AI's turn by x2 or x4. Clicking on the button will cycle through the various speeds.

Thanks again for playing and may the RNG be with you all.
Full Changelog Version 1.0.11

Stack Splitting consumables added (see above)

AI Turn Speed-Up button added (see above)

We've changed the way bravery is handled outside of combat. From now on, your bravery is always fully reset after the completion of a battle. This means that you always enter the battle with the same starting point and should help in making successive battle feel less frustrating due to limiting options.

Fix a bug that caused units to be revived by the Necromancer on the wrong tile.

Fixes a bug that caused a crash in some instances after loading from save.

Fixes a bug that sometimes made it impossible to finish Map 2 in Adventure III

Fixes a bug that would sometimes cause achievement rewards to disappear if claimed during combat

Fixed a bunch of typos

Fixed some UI issues on the Adventure Stats screen when playing in French

Fixed a bug that caused character quotes to spill out of the UI in some languages.

Fixed a whole bunch of battle arena generators that could cause faulty collisions

Removed a faulty tooltip when hovering enemy portraits that would mistakenly indicate "Press Tab for Move Range".
Update 1.0.10 (8 May 2019)

Added a new hitchance preview when moving (see above)

First step towards event distribution overhaul (see above)

We reworked a number of events that previously had "hidden" perk options. These invisible options were automatically activated if a character on the team had the appropriate skill. Unfortunately this also meant that a lot of players missed out on content due them not being identifiable in any way. We've changed this and the options are now explicit as part of a choice the player can make if the appropriate perk is part of the team. Practically speaking, this means that some events have received new perk options!

We've reworked the structure of some events to be spread out over fewer pages, effectively reducing the amount of clicks needed. Some events had also their texts shortened where it made sense to do so in order to improve the overall flow.

Added a confirmation question if the player tries to leave the loot screen without touching any of the loot. It'll also ask for confirmation if the player leaves behind an epic or legendary item.

New savegame backup system: The game will now automatically create backups at relevant points. This is mainly in place so we can recover saves that may get corrupted when using the preview branch or for some other situations where a bug caused an unfair loss.

Bellamy can now also be unlocked by purchasing a Disintegrator weapon

Codex has been updated to include recent changes.

Time elapsed formatting in adventure stats now shows as hh:mm:ss

Fixed a bug that caused audio settings to not be properly preserved across game sessions.

Fixed a grammar mistake in one of Veduti's character comments.

Fixed a bug that made it impossible to revisit character rescue missions. They can now be revisited even if you didn't recruit the character right away or decided to not engage in combat previously.

Fixed some combat arena generators causing enemies to get trapped.

Fixed a country name on one of he loading screens maps

Fixed a rare crash that occurred when loading the game after updating to a new version

Fixed a bunch of wrong gender pronoun uses in event texts

Fixed a bug that caused the camera to move outside of the map bounds

Fixed a bug that caused the "The Coming War" achievement to not be attainable

Fixed a bug that allowed people to purchase fuel beyond the jeep's capacity at the merchant

Fixed a bug that caused the recruit icon to be invisible when on neighbouring location.

Fixed a bug that caused some event texts to overlap

Fixed a bug that would allow you to move items into the valuables bag when recruiting people.

Fixed a bug that caused Sporebearers to not automatically die when the last enemy was killed with a bleed attack.

Fixed a bug that allowed the player to open the codex during the enemy's turn even though the button was disabled.
Update 1.0.9 (1 May 2019)

Added new improved Damage Information when hovering enemies (see above)

Perk Branches in events have been reworked and are now in most situations a success. Some instances of uncertainty remain.

Rebalanced loot drops in first 2 adventures to be more generous.

Added a "Confirm End Turn" option that when enabled forces the player to confirm the end turn when there are characters with unspent action points.

Added more helpful tooltips when an achievement can't be claimed.

Changed the "Watch Collectors" achievement to only require 3 watches to be collected.

Changed the "An Ending and a New Beginning III" achievement to only require 100 failures.

We're continuing to work on fixing "out of memory" issues some people have encountered. For people who previously had issues, we'd love to hear if there are improvements in this build.

Block keyboard scrolling when menu or journal is open during an encounter.

Fixed some battle arenas where enemies would spawn inside walls

Fixed some localization issues

Fixed some events where the wrong gender was used in texts.

Fixed a bug that allowed people to select multiple choices during level-up. This fix will reset people's skill trees that made use of this.

Fixed an exploit that allowed people to produce money using the Valuables bag undo function.

Fixed a bug where in some instances the Valuables bag undo button wouldn't reset properly.

Fixed some Mineshaft battle arena layouts that made battles unplayable.

Fixed a bunch of collisions that allowed enemies to walk into walls.

Fixed some inconsistencies in the attack range display.

5+ kills in one shot now also count towards the 4 kills in one achievement.

Fixed a bug that caused achievements to show up as claimed event though they weren't.

Fixed an issue that caused lost fuel not to count towards the "Environmental Hazard" achievement.

Fixed a bug that caused a character to show up at the beginning of Adventure V Sector 2 even though they're already in the player's party.

Fixed a bug that allowed players to trigger a double ambush.

Fixed a bug that caused the player to continue traveling on foot even though they had received fuel through an achievement.

Added "--aggressive-gc" command line option. Using this option forces a memory garbage-collection after each event. When used, you'll likely experience a short delay each time the event window closes. While this parameter doesn't fix anything per se, it is supposed to help us narrowing down the out-of-memory crashes and performance issues.

Disabled use of separate render thread on MacOS. May be related to performance issues some user reported on MacOS 10.14 Mojave.
Update 1.0.8 (16 April 2019)

Fixed a bug causing events to be broken, or crash, on low-spec systems after our changes in v1.0.7

Fixed crash during AI turns

Fixed mouse over menu button not stopping the scene to scroll in combat scenarios

Modified a few french translations to fit in UI
Update 1.0.7 (16 April 2019)

Added a new "undo" button to the Valuables bag. This lets you undo the last item you added to your Valuables bag if for example you trashed one of your beautiful legendaries by accident.

When comparing a Knife with another Knife it'll now always correctly compare to the equipped Knife instead of the character's main slot (which may not be a knife).

When the Item compare tooltip is on the left side of the cursor, it now flips the order of windows around to be less confusing.

Added an additional fallback option for low-spec system that don't support floating point cubemaps. This will reduce the visual fidelity of the lighting system in the game significantly but will allow people with older Radeon cards to still play the game.

The Nazi fuel supply camp event now properly rewards fuel when successfully sneaking into the camp.

Updated descriptions for the unlock achievements of Shani/Georgette to be clearer

Further improvements to loading issues on low-spec systems

Fixed a bug that caused Repairkit Strength level up choices to not take any effect

Fixed a rare crash on the Adventure Stats screen

Fixed a crash when using Burst Fire in certain situations

Fixed a bunch of crashes that occurred at random during the AI's turn

Fixed a bug that caused the game to stall when your team died with some rare conditions

Fixed a bug that caused a crash on bootup on some Windows systems

Fixed a bug that caused the game to stall on low-spec systems when changing to battle

Fixed handling of double wielding knives. If two knives are equipped it'll now always use the better of the two for damage calculations and not show excessive UI buttons. Known Issue: On low-spec machines we're still experiencing rare occasional stalls. This patch should significantly reduce the chance of this happening. If you encounter a stall, please try and reload the game, in most instances this will be enough to fix the problem. We're working on a permanent fix.
Version 1.0.4/1.0.5:

We added an optional "Confirm Move" toggle in the Game options. When activated, you will have to click again to confirm your move before it is executed. This is to prevent accidental moves.

We added a "Dog friendly" mode. This can be activated in the Game options. At the moment this simply disables the dog hit/die sfx. But we are planning on expanding on this and completely removing the die animations/blood.

We've added additional fallback options for our shadow rendering that should fix issues we've seen on certain hardware configurations causing the game to crash at load and during gameplay.

Added option to disable Reverb SFX effect. This may help on systems that have experience audio issues.

Fix a bug that would let you recruit a character twice in a row

Fixed a bug with character unlocks. Some people had met the conditions for unlocking a character but still couldn't use them when starting a new adventure. These characters are now properly unlocked and the issue has been fixed.

We fixed a bug that caused crit hits that also killed a target to not count towards achievements, combat stats and adventure stats.

We improved loading times in some events

Fixed a crash that could happen when encountering a specific event in the game
Update 1.0.3 (12 April 2019) Version 1.0.3:
