PURE ONYX Inner Circle Test Release - February 15, 2021!

Hey guys!

We have a new Pure Onyx release for you!  This one adds the first double team H scene.  It's triggered in the same way the Thug solo scene is triggered, but if a Runt is nearby he can join in.  The second part of it is more polished animation-wise, so expect the same quality throughout by the release at the end of the month.  We're also working on an extra sloppy outro scene ^-^.

In addition to this, we have a bunch of inventory, shop, and some stability / UI improvements.  We have more headed your way for the end of the month! 

Changelog

• Added the first double team H scene for the Splicer Thug and Runt.  Expect more polish in the release at the end of the month. 
• Fixed consumable item price not taking used charges into consideration
• Added an option to specify gamepad type for display purposes - input indicators, controls sheet, etc.
• Some additional functional and accessibility changes semi-related to the above

• Added sorting shop inventory on restock

• Fixed issue with stage menu navbar vanishing when resolution is changed in Options screen (still one artifact left to fix)
• Added redesigned/improved FPS counter
• Added debug key [F4] allowing switching minimum framerate between default 30 and 10, which should allow us to better gauge the performance on some user configurations
• Runts will panic less now.

• Added layer override functionality during H scenes for removing unwanted shadows on characters.
• Gameplay time clock is now functional (bottom left of status menu)

Known Issues

Here are the newest/most relevant known issues.

• Splicer Runts can (rarely) face the wrong direction during H scenes.  Let us know if you see this issue.
• The new double-team H scene will leave liquid on Onyx's face in the next release.
• Game Over screen background is not tiling correctly currently.
• 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.
• Street Lord Wraxe's standing-from-behind H scene should actually only occur when Onyx is on the ground -- we just haven't had time to add this mechanic yet.
• 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.
• Street Lord Wraxe may become stuck while walking.  He can be knocked out of it however.
• Due to Wraxe's large size, Runts bumping into him may push him upwards since they can get underneath 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).
• Splicer Runts and Thugs may float if Onyx knocks them back a lot while they are defending or de-aggro'd.  They may also airwalk when knocked down.
• Charger doesn't move out of the way when he's a bystander during an H scene.  He just kinda goes to sleep right in the middle of it all x_x.  And Street Lord Wraxe sometimes blocks the view of the H scene with his big fat wraxe.
