Added animated change effect for HP bars, player/world status bars, and encounter status bars, which makes it far easier to visually see the direction and amount of change that occurred per turn.
Added zoom upon hover effect for selectable entities, configurable in options.
Added back improved sprite VFX animations for: Entity damaged, entity healed, instant defeat, charm, level-up, and static object destroyed. VFX animations will also run on grid mode sprites if they exist.
Revised flashing effect indicating selectable entities during item/ability usage to be more consistent.
Updated placeholder images for locations, static objects, NPCs, enemies, items, abilities, and player portrait.
The default NPC placeholder image is no longer a picture of my dog. To compensate, I've added a console command "pongo" and/or toggle in options to make the NPC placeholder an even cuter picture of my dog than the previous placeholder.
Misc
Reduced faction rep change based on character sentiment change (multiply by 0.1, and if negative, further multiply by 0.5), and also allowed faction rep to be stored as non-whole numbers under the hood
