PATCH #2 IS NOW LIVE!
This patch in particular is pretty huge, to say the least; while the game still needs content to be finalized in some parts, we think the overall experience should feel a lot better with all these additions/fixes/changes.
Also, once you've played the patch, please consider giving us a rating; good, bad, neutral, whatever you'd like. We just like getting ratings and feedback :)
-------------------------------
HOW TO REFRESH/UPDATE TO THE NEW PATCH:
In the steam client, right click on the game in your library list, select properties from the dropdown list, then in the Local files tab select Verify integrity of game cache.
If everything verifies correctly then you should have the latest patched release on the Steam servers.

FIXED CUTSCENES:
- Extensively fixed and reworked back-end setup for the Snowball interactions and Filadelfo V scene in P1M2 of the Celodst Resupply, so that it finally, once and for all, absolutely works as intended with multiple safe-guards to prevent it from breaking, and it should be much more clearer what to do there now, as well

ENGINE & FUNCTIONALITY FIXES/ADJUSTMENTS/ADDITIONS:
- Players can now hold their elemental shot's attack charge through being hit and using utility abilities both; only being stunned, in a cutscene, or dropped to 0 health will cause you to break your held charge
- The "Ideals" menu has been reworked to also show your current "Sexuality" stats (low, medium, or high), as well as removing Sexuality from being calculated in as your "current highest/lowest" Ideal since it's rarely checked for that specifically in cutscenes (or in the True Endings)
- Fixed incorrect number of Fragments being checked for True Endings or Bad Ending
- The titles of Achievements and the level names themselves in the Achievements menu, are both hidden until the player has reached that specific level
- Fixed special NPCs so that they now correctly show pink "!" above their head if a H-scene is possible with them at all
- The "vine rope" Achievement has been swapped out for a new one: dealing 300 damage in one shot
- Fixed the visual bug in The End if you're caught by all 4 enemy types in the Normal Brane
- Lowered and raised the volume of a few songs for a better experience in and out of cutscenes
- Adjusted cutscene activation hitboxes for characters from The End so they would be able to be triggered properly despite characters floating above the ground
- Fixed the Uncharted Wildwoods end-path bug where you would be sent back a room if you went down the same path more than once
- Muted the ambient audio from the Cube enemy (Normal Brane variant) in The End during cutscenes
- Fixed the databanks in the Uncharted Wildwoods that incorrectly showed green text
- Ending #14 now properly shows if achieved
- Fixed "goto" functionality across all cutscenes, to prevent false cutscene triggers from being activated
- Prevented NPCs in The End and the Uncharted Wildwoods from sliding around when hit with the Electromagnetic Jump Ability
- Added in the "fast variant" for the ADMN Spawner's music if he reaches above 50% maximum speed

- Adjusted Ideal types and amount gained/lost for Jon Struger's scene in P3M2 of the Celodst Resupply
