PATCH #4 IS NOW LIVE!
-------------------------------
You can actually consider this sort of a "part 1" of Patch #4: there were a LOT of things we got prepared for this build, but either didn't have the time to fully integrate (like the huge amount of additional SFX coming soon) or that we were having issues with, so we wanted to give it some more time to fix issues (like the full gallery).
So, within a week or two, expect another patch that should add in a lot of those things that we had mostly done!
-------------------------------
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.

OTHER CHANGES / FIXES:
- Changed the layout of a few rooms slightly in the Gratification Factory pre-Boss "maze" section to fix visual errors and smooth out janky gameplay in some rooms

- Added more connections between a few more maps in The End
- Added a new "Shifted Realm" version for EndMap 37 in The End
- Not a bug, but three Ideal changing-events were removed from Von Like in P4M5 of the Celodst Resupply for consistency in how Ideal points are usually given/taken away (the actual dialogue/flags set are untouched, you just don't get/lose Ideal points for them now)
- Fixed wrong tile on P4M2 of the Volcanic Mines
- Edited layout of top part of Hub map for Uncharted Wildwoods slightly for better movement flow
- It won't be in this patch, but spent a huge amount of time finally organizing what sound effects we'd already commissioned yet that hadn't been implemented + commissioned a huge amount of additional sound effects to flesh things out more, so expect those soon
- Made separate gallery-based versions of all H-scenes with NPCs + bosses + environmental traps + second h-animations from the Stealth area for the gallery; they're not in this build, but they will be in the next!
