New Guides/Tutorials
We've just finished the second wave of our modding tutorials. There are now 25 guides total that cover level design and AI scripting. The next phase will cover modding and steam workshop.
The new guides don't seem to be visible on the community hub yet so you can access them with this link for now.

Hit Markers
We've added hit markers to give additional feedback on successful hits. You can enable/disable hit markers for each combat type individually within the game's settings. So if you only want hit markers for to appear for ranged combat, we have support for that.
Crime System
We've done a lot more work to our stealth and crime system. The campaign isn't developed far enough to utilize it in game yet, so we made a video to showcase the possible scenarios.
Level Design
More progress from our level designer.

- Fixed a bunch of issues with stealth and stealing mechanics.
- Fixed issue where dodging reduces stamina multiple times during a dodge causing it to use all your stamina.

- Fixed issue where going to start a new co-op game, canceling and then trying to start a new single player game would send the player to the lobby screen instead of starting to load the level after character creation.
- Fixed issue where client in co-op would not get stealth critical hit messages when they did a stealth critical hit. Messages would always appear on the server.
- Fixed issue where in co-op the other player's animation state would be wrong after leaving a conversation. They would just slide around without moving their legs.

Changes
- In co-op a new game has the players go through the new character screen. Took out the confusing and buggy way you had to create a character before starting co-op and then select that character to use for co-op. More streamlined and less confusing now.
- Added build id to main menu screen.
- Doubled starting stamina for better combat balancing.
- Game now runs in background
- Added hit marker around crosshair to show when a hit has landed. There are settings in general settings that allow you to show or not show the markers for melee, ranged, and spell hits.
- Gave picking up items priority over looting so that items under a dead monster can be picked up.
- Tweaked self heal particle system to make it less intense.
