This is a minor content update but I think it makes the game look so much better that it deserves a "regular update" announcement
Alpha 1.16.2 - Small background visuals update
-Updated every background art to a more simplified art style that does not clash with the character models
-The previous background sprites were far too detailed in relation to the level of detail on the characters. They use very few colors and make heavy usage of gradients.
-On top of the aesthetic matching and less distraction from the combat visuals, simple backgrounds are much quicker to make, which means that much more variety in background art will soon be made, such as multiple backgrounds art per room type, and more room types in general.
-Player and enemy shouldnt hit each other simultaneously anymore if one stuns or ragdolls the other
-Arcade mode music replaced with Sole Replicant and no longer breaks during intermission screens
-Checkpoint flavor text updated
-Removed WIP style from style select
-Updated 1.16 patch notes to include the addition of axe kick
