• Speedster rotund compatibility, so you can use your CHONK to deal some serious SMASH
  
• Escapist bite lethality reduced significantly (lethality chance * 0.5 -> 0.05)
  
• Escapist now parries when doing a flip while the ability is active. Bomb jumps are now available ;)
  
• Brawler hud cooldown appearance fixed

The Escapist build has been reworked! No longer is it a boring ol' build (hey, Balagaga), but instead a much more active build that allows you to dupe creatures and escape or annihilate!

Double tap left/right to dash left or right, stunning any creatures caught between the dash. Attack them to deal extra damage and reset your cooldown or attack your clone to make it explode! The explosion will do different things depending on what it is attacked by, so experiment!
Do a flip and you can dash up/down like a spear upthrow/downthrow!

This update isn't all about the Escapist rework though, so here's the rest!

• Brawler can shank/punch while malnourished
  
• Brawler shank cooldown reduced (50 -> 40)
  
• Brawler punch cooldown reduced (30 -> 25)
  
• Brawler punch and shank damage, stun, and cooldown scale with rotundness
  
• Brawler punch makes a different sfx when punching a dead creature

• Fat = power!
  
• The more you eat, the stronger your dropkick/slidestun/spearthrow becomes!

• Dropkick now makes a different sound when kicking dead creatures
  
• Void effect in depths is lessened in Escort campaign (this is important for a future update)
  
• Guardians become chill if you have max karma (this will also be important in a future update)
  
• You can now set custom keybinds for Escapist, Speedster, and Gilded

And for those who actually read the patch notes; have a present on me. The secret code is 602. It's for the new Escapist build.

This update fleshes out the HUD a bit more, as well as providing some bugfixes and changes!

HUD is given a lot more sprites to visualize each build's abilities better. Not only that, you can now change the placement of the HUD from just the bottom left to two other places!
The HUD also appears in arena mode now!

HUD has been fixed so it updates correctly for players outside the viewed room.

• Dropkick dynamic knockback also applies to dead bodies so now you can kick a green lizard body across the room.
  
• Vengeful lizards spawn more plentifully and more golden

• Nerfed Brawler's shank a tiny bit by adding a little bit more cooldown
  
• HUD meter has been fixed to reflect the changes
  
• Brawler can now throw rocks or spears when sliding to do ranged attacks. (extended slides won't throw these objects like before)

• Deflector's permanent damage stacking will no longer crash the game when it gets to 0.054
  
• Deflector's permadamage works in arena mode and is based on arena points
  
• Added an option to enable Deflector's permadamage stacking to be shared across all players
  
• Deflector's permadamage multiplier additionally applies to rocks, lillypucks, grenades (direct contact), and jokerifle bullets
  
• Deflector's empowered period extended from (4s, 6s, 8s) to (5s, 10s, 20s)
  
• Empowered damage is only used up when the weapon or dropkick lands successfully instead of on throw
  
• Every Deflector player's damage stacks saves as long as one person survives (in easy jolly difficulty)

• Speedster shelter save fixed for coop
  
• Speedster now negates stun when sliding into creatures or wall
  
• Wall pounces are much stronger the faster you are
  
• Stun duration from collision doubled

Gilded's karma 10 matches unshackled (code) Gilded. Now you can levitate as long as you have power.

• Exception logger is better at its job
  
• More than four player build configuration support when that rolls around
  
• Speedster trail works a bit more consistently now
  
• New secret code for next update ;)

Just minor fixes

• Gilded's superpower is now applied outside of karma 10 when the secret code is applied
  
• Gilded can now ascend (for now) without dying from getting too much power
  
• Slight parry shield sprite fix

The long-awaited build has finally been released! Use the power of the void to aid your survival. Take it slow, else you'll leave yourself vulnerable. Good luck, have fun!

• Gilded is unable to throw rocks or spears, but they can transform them into something they can throw!
  
• Press jump in the air to levitate for a little bit. Note that whatever horizontal momentum you had before hovering will carry over. Use this information wisely ;)
  
• Reject wallspearing, embrace vertical prowess. Most parts where you would need a wallspear could be conquered by a backflip or a super wall flip. Reach higher places with the combination of levitating and wall flipping!
  
• Don't let the power charge all the way, for it will become too much to handle...
  
• The secret code that used to be the preview to Gilded has now been repurposed. :)

Default Escort got a little bit of an extra thing last major update.. This time they're getting even more to allow them to stand on their own!
They can swim faster in water now. Not quite rivulet speed, but rivulet can't swim in the gutter waters as well as Escort can so...
And Vertical Poletech! Press jump at precise times to boost yourself up. Something like a horizontal poletech except vertical or something. I can't really describe it but movementtech enthusiasts, have fun!

• The Escort mod now has translation support! And to start things off, there is a Russian translation included! It's not perfect but in time it'll get better. Thank you MaxBogomol for the translation!
  
• Tutorials have been added for the super wall flip, since it's one of the most important movementtech Escort has for maneuvering places. More tutorials will be added as time goes!
  
• A couple of bugfixes, Escort will now do proper damage with special spears that change the base damage. And the secret code will no longer stop working when exiting out of the game.

When silly sfx is turned on, Brawler's HUD sprite changes. That's it. You're welcome. (Something else also happens similarly to Gilded. Blame Elliot, the maker of Solace)

Deflector's HUD sprite has been updated to match the second part of the HUD update (coming soon!), and there is now a new mechanic (and HUD): Permanent damage tracking. Kill things to increase your damage multiplier to become stronger and stronger! There is no limits!

Speedster's builtup charges will now carry over from the last cycle, which means less grinding!
Some parts of Speedster's speed benefits have been buffed a little, but most importantly, Speedster's stun duration when ramming into creatures or tripping over slight inclines have been reduced significantly!


Phew. That should be the last big update that takes forever. Next update will be pretty soon-ish, hopefully.

Adjusted Brawler alt shank cooldowns and damage 1.25x -> 0.75x, 1.5s cooldown -> 0.75s cooldown

A missing feature has been implemented. Now you can see when you're in a parry condition!

Food meter wasn't working properly so I fixed it.

Heare yee heare yee! The new update has dropped, and I made quite a lot of changes as well as additions! Sit tight as this update will help you understand Escort a little better!

The new Escort HUD shows up above the food bar and displays important information for each build. No more guessing what is going on inside the Escort!
This update only includes the base of the system, so expect the next few updates to really flesh out the HUD system!

Each Escort build will start them in different regions, as well as having different food requirements! No more dying to drowning because you chose a build that can't hold their breath for very long!

Is the sick flip sfx starting to get on your nerves? You can now turn off just the sick flip sound effect!

Remember the gimmick option Poletech? Now it's default for the normal Escort so have fun! More unique features to come for the default.

Brawler Shank on miss has a reduced cooldown to prevent too much downtime (1s -> 0.5s), and the punch's cooldown has been reduced as well (1s -> 0.75s)!

Deflector's second and third level of power have longer empowered duration to give the players a little bit of a breathing room to take their shot. (2: 4s -> 6s, 3: 4s -> 8s)

Railgunner death bite multiplier reduced from 0.85 to 0.75. Regardless, try not to get bit.

• Patched out an obsolete code that crashes the game on having a mod that increases player count
  
• Clarified the purpose of long wall jump and discouraged players from enabling it a little bit
  
• Disabled a part of secret slug's secret feature due to sudden crash
  
• Added legacy controls for said secret slug
  
• Fixed condition where sometimes Escort can survive falling into a deathpit. Can't have that can we?

• GILDED WILL BE DELAYED! I need to work on something first before I can work on the rest of Gilded... sorry about that.
  
• Changed the behaviour of stunslide (activated by spears) such that it no longer sends Escort flying into oblivion uncontrollably and increased height in general.
  
• Added log options for those who want to see the logs.
  
• Fixed Alpha-Gilded multi-stomp if they can't touch the ground.
  
• Railgunner has a 100% chance to die when bitten while malnourished(vulnerable) and will spasm upon getting stunned in any way.
