[2014/10/31] Update v1.0008 - An update for the Halloween frenzy

Hello everyone!

[img=http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/39731539262994472/F0B8EC6BE05B6A35A1195D42972A082BC3625AB6/]

Some of you will notice a discrepancy in the version number. This is to synchronize Steam and GoG versions, so no worries ;).

The focus was clearly bug fixes, but we've got the sub-system targeting properly implemented as well. So far it worked partially. Time to start knocking out individual systems properly :). The complete change-list is below.

Quite a bit of additional content is being produced as we speak, so the next update (planned for November 15th) should have a lot more ADDED tags in the change list :).
