Project Wingman Update 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4c

Hello everyone!

We're rolling out our first patch for Project Wingman after a somewhat extensive beta testing with users that opted into the beta to hopefully fix some of the critical bugs in the Campaign and Conquest mode of the game. While we're not at the capacity to respond to all the bug reports. We are definitely noting them down and listening! So please keep them coming in!

Without further ado, here are the patch notes!

Level Adjustments:

Level Lighting Adjustments:
Dev Notes:
A lot of users have noticed the heavy usage of certain colors and high contrast in some missions. Particularly ones that involve a lot of orange tone. And in some cases, we used incorrect gamma values while adjusting the lighting of some missions. We wont be addressing all the levels yet as we plan to tackle this issue step by step and garner feedback on each adjustment.

Mission 1 Black Flag:
-Adjusted Time of Day from dawn to early morning.

Mission 6:
-Reduced the amount of contrast in the areas before the player gets to the Apodock Fracture.
-Adjusted the orange tone before the player gets to the Apodock Fracture.
-Significantly reduced the amount of glow lava "beaches" emit.

MIssion 14:
-Slightly reduced contrast.

Mission 21:
-Reduced the amount of orange tint in the level.

VR
-Fixed an issue where Reset Orientation in VR would not properly apply and causes user to face a different direction.
-Game start should reset view before initializing the game.
-Fixed an issue where objective text would not fade out properly and stay in front of the player.

Conquest:
-Fixed a critical issue where players would occasionally spawn in front of a mountain and immediately crash into said mountain before the screen fades out. (For now player is guaranteed to spawn high up in the skies until we find a more elegant solution)
-Added most of the soundtrack to the Conquest music lineup.
-Made Conquest allies significantly more durable.
-Added Sky Sequence Names and Time of Day indicator in Conquest Pause Menu to help track down which sequences are too bright or too dark in Conquest.
-Disabled Conquest progress reset when versions are different as some users were having troubles with it constantly resetting progress.

Boss Fight: (!!! May Contain Spoilers !!! )
-Kings Rework
Dev Notes:
We realize that the final phase of the fight it was extremely unclear and somewhat whether you could down the boss or not. This was not the intention. And also how terrible idea was removing the radar without a properly telegraphed AoE attacks from C1.
Hopefully, without changing too much of the boss fight. These changes can help maintain our original vision of the boss fight without changing it too drasticly.
OVERALL:
Crimson's AoE attack will now show a warning radius in grey before fully expanding.
The Final phase now shows both unit's health bar except in Mercenary mode.
EASY:
Crimson will no longer use AoE and Railgun Cluster Bombs in 4th stage.
Crimson will only restore to 50% of his health in the 4th phase.
NORMAL:
Crimson will no longer use AoE and Railgun Cluster Bombs in 4th stage.
4th Stage will give player extra 50 health instead of 40.
Crimson will only restore to 50% of his original phase health in the 4th phase.
HARD:
Crimson will only restore to 75% of his original phase health in the 4th phase.
MERCENARY:
No change.
