This version is a minor bugfix update for normal users. The changelog is below. This is also the beginning of chapter 2's release cycle.

Chapter 2's intro is currently in early release for supporters of our patreon! I am looking into making a purchaseable package for Itch.io as well (I don't want people to have to re-buy it each time I patch it). If you support us on patreon, you will get access the chapter 2's releases as they come out. Everyone else has to wait 1 month. Become a patron today!

[ ========Version 4.00 ========= ]
Major
*Chapter 2's introduction is now playable. No kidding.
*Fixed that damn inventory load crash bug. This should be under the Bugs heading but it took so much work to find it that I'm putting it in the major tab.
*Go ahead, try to do something about it.

Minor
*Refactored the combat execution code.
*Added some new indicators for buffs so you can tell at-a-glance what stats got buffed/debuffed.
*Mei's Queen Bee costume now shows up in the journal and on the costume select menu.
*The UI should now immediately reflect stat changes when passives are equipped.

Combat Balance
*Fixed Christine's discharge not correctly changing damage types based on the weapon secondary.
*Added a distinction in the prediction box. The game will warn you when an attack can only Glance versus a guaranteed miss.
*609144 can now be stunned.
*Effects modified in battle by a severity (such as 55's User Manuals) now show the computed effect value in the combat inspector, instead of the base value.
*Added a few more gem slots to common low-level armors to allow a bit more early customization.

Bugs
*Buyback no longer carries over when loading the game or changing chapters.
*Fixed a number of small bugs involving the combat engine.
*Latex Drones now show the "Volunteer" icon if you don't have the form yet.
*Fixed some incorrect combat item descriptions.
*Fixed a specific box in the LRT facility that was not clipped, and causing much consternation.
*Fixed the missing icon for the GOV Gem.
