Hey everyone!

As mentioned in the progress update earlier this month, a major goal since the Inner Circle release was to polish up the Chain Splicer H scene.  We've added a ton of SFX, animation fixes, secondary motion (jiggles/hair), liquid FX for the outro, and a better viewing angle.  We've also added a lot of new SFX to the Runt/Thug double team scene.

The Chain Splicer now has a much more performant chain weapon, so you should see some performance boost if you had lag issues with him before.  We've also added a performance option to disable post processing.  Continue to expect additional performance options in the future :D.  

If you haven't played the Inner Circle release from a couple weeks ago, you'll be seeing the improved belly bulge on the Onyx vs Wraxe scenes, the new loading screen for the first time, and you may also appreciate that the Vioreapers no longer spam stingers :D.   

Check below for additional changes/fixes!

Known Issues

Here are the newest/most relevant known issues.

• Still have a few fixes/improvements to make on the Chain Splicer H scene anims, especially to the second part of the intro.  There are some minor issues with the chains due to having to use a slightly older rig for compatibility.  Will be fixed in next update!
• The Chain Splicer currently has no unique H attack animation.  His windup animation will receive new FX soon to distinguish between an H attack and regular attack.
• New loading screen may have issues with 3:2 aspect ratio.  We're working on a fix.
• Charger's hitbox shifts slightly after he charges.  If he charges repeatedly this shift can add up to be significant.  It will soon correct itself however.
• Chain Splicer can immediately hit Onyx after an H scene if he had wound up to attack before the H scene began.
• Kanji on the Chain Splicer's jacket is backwards when he faces left (will be fixed in next update).
• Street Lord Wraxe can dash backwards if he begins his dash at the far right side of the map.
• Enemies can appear floating above the shop characters after an H scene, but should fix themselves quickly.
• Liquid won't show on Onyx during the Thug's solo H scene.  This will be fixed soon.
• The liquid spurt FX on one of the Thug's H scene finishers sometimes doesn't play.  We're aware of the cause and seeing if it pops up anywhere else before fixing it.
• Spamming attack/jump while Onyx is knocked down can sometimes produce a glitchy animation just before she gets back up, which can affect her next combo.
• Street Lord Wraxe's hitbox is not good, especially during his attack animations (Onyx's hits will usually miss when it looks like they should land).  He's the first enemy to move a lot from his origin during animations, and this separates him from his collider.
• Infinite jabs are way overpowered against bosses right now.  Jab spam will be changed to a standing combo soon-ish (among other combat improvements).
• Street Lord Wraxe sometimes blocks the view of H scenes with his big fat wraxe when he's a bystander.

Console Commands

The game isn't balanced that great yet, so some people have asked if there are ways to bypass bosses or get some help.  You can use console commands for this while the game is still rough around the edges. Press the  ` (backtick/tilde) key to open the console.  Type any of the commands below and press enter.  Press ` again to close the console.

• godmode on/off - Makes Onyx indestructible.
• onepunchmode on/off - Gives Onyx the ability to kill anything with one attack.
• setwave # - Sets the enemy wave to the number specified.  Changes will not be reflected in enemies until the current wave is wiped out.  If you want to fight Street Lord Wraxe, who spawns on Wave 20, then set the wave to 19 and wipe out the remaining enemies.
• setgamespeed # - Multiplies the game speed by the number specified.
