Hello!
Version 1.2 brings nothing but bug fixes! Not that fun, I know. But fear not! The next patch, version 1.3, will focus on balancing & all the great quality of life suggestions you've been, well, suggesting on the discord group! So, if you have anything you feel like suggesting, please, I'd love to hear it. So join us here! https://discord.com/invite/GgHxCMn4FP
On with the patch notes!
Bug Fixes
Fixed car turret not working correctly on controller 2
Fixed being able to break "First day at the office" and "Garcia is in trouble" by dying in very specific ways
Fixed a bug where leaving the tutorial by returning to the menu during the slide section would keep the objective on the bottom left (why does this section keep haunting me?)
Fixed some challenges not being counted correctly in the stats menu
Fixed the HUD not displaying values over 100 correctly, making it look like you're not losing armor
Disable the small, player side HUD when in a car (you could sometimes see hit when running over people)
Fixed a bug where delivering a vehicle to Garcia by placing it on the trigger while not inside it, and then going inside it, would result in you staying in the vehicle.
Added a grace period when being run over by vehicles which should help in getting stuck between a car and a hard place
Fixed a bug where in some rare instances, your gun would get "jammed" during reloading, never letting you fire again
More small misc stuff not even worth writing down
Quality of Life Changes
Bullets shot by dead enemies no longer hit the player
That is all! Once again, thanks again to everyone who helped me with reporting these issues!
Until next time.

I'm excited to bring you update 1.1 of The Henchmen, that covers some of the most common feedback you've shared with me, brings QoL changes, and bug fixes:
Car & Driving Changes:
There has been some frustration in regards to how the car handles, so changes have been made to make it a bit more forgiving:
Cars driven by the player now have more base resistance to impacts - 20% in missions and 40% in free roam (only on Normal and Easy)
Damage taken from breakable objects, such as light poles, is now 5 times less than it was before
Cops are less aggressive in Normal and Easy, making them pinning you to walls harder. This change also applies to the gang cars that spawn in certain missions
Trees are now breakable. Happy deforesting!
Quality of Life Changes
Added a new "Stats" screen, accessible from the pause menu, to help you keep track of game percentage, tokens found, and more
The "how to lose the cops" hint now also is shown when starting a getaway mission for the first time, if "First day on the job" hasn't been played before.
Reworked the sliding section of the tutorial to better convey how you need to replenish it (hint: melee kills)
The game now tells you if a car is locked when walking near one
Bug fixes
Fixed a crash when toggling to split-screen in certain interiors
Fixed downed player being able to tank incoming damage for the player reviving them
Fixed drivers sometimes taking a nap in chase challenges
Fixed snow sometimes remaining after switching to the 1996 map
Fixed not being able to buy a gun from a shop if you already had it in your hands
Fixed enemies in the second assassination not being set as "important" and despawning if the area was left (whoopsie)
And more...
Closing thoughts
The release of this game was a very intense experience. I have worked on this game for very long, and I really want to bring you the best game I can. So, if you have any feedback or thoughts, please join our Discord & chat with me: https://discord.com/invite/GgHxCMn4FP
Alternatively, you can create a thread on the Steam Discussion page: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1431750/discussions/
I would also like to thank Silent and MapleEllie who have given feedback and bug reports through their playthroughs and helped me get the ball rolling, in terms of updates.
One last thing - I would love for you all to leave a Steam review, as it really helps a lot!
That is all, thanks for reading and playing!
