Between changing jobs and some work, I completed some updates every few weeks, but never seeing it as enough to upload, or do to lack of motivation, I left it out until the latest big changes…

So here we are, a couple of months later, with an update that is more of a bundle of updates from 2.6 to 2.9 plus an hotfix that I had to do yesterday, hence the b after the 2.9.

The changelog is big because of all the changes, but they are split between all the included updates, so bear with me.

Here is the TL;DR version:

• A lot of bug fixes
• Changes in the HUD and some menus’ looks and feedback
• Changed some guns to file like single action weapons
• Fully reworked the devour/skills system
• Fully reworked corruption and HP
• Added armor system to HP (based on items that add non regenerative HP)
• Added bosses (only 1 boss, but the magic is there)
• Added stats to characters
• Added all LESSER and COMMON rank consumables
• Added all POWERUPs
