0.1.9 — unpublished development build

• Natural spawning is always enabled on scheduled mimic levels and starts immediately when the expedition is ready; testing controls are not required.
• Added persistent one-second readiness/placement retries, alternate eligible donors/anchors and automatic navigation-based fallback placement.
• Removed the four-minute lifetime cap; killed/removed mimics are replaced after three seconds, one at a time.
• Natural scheduling takes priority over forced testing Auto Spawn on eligible levels.

0.1.8 — unpublished development build

• Scheduled mimic levels can contain multiple encounters, with only one mimic active at a time.
• Added a random 45–75 second cooldown after each mimic's death/despawn; failed safe-placement attempts retry after eight seconds.
• Manual testing no longer consumes the encounter level. Unscheduled levels still do not receive natural replacements.

0.1.7 — unpublished development build

• Added donor immunity during targeting, biting and grabbing, with a true one-player lobby exception.
• Locked disguise identity until the copied player's death; replacement requires a stable empty, unseen room. Cosmetic updates preserve identity.
• Added a persistent 45-second failed-lure deadline, followed by return pursuit of the same target.
• Matched all mimic voice sources to native player proximity attenuation and occlusion, with distance silence for attack reverb too.

0.1.6 — unpublished development build

• Changed bite damage from a fixed 45 HP to 40% of the victim's current maximum HP, including upgrades, rounded up to whole HP.
• Lure and attack recordings share a randomized rotation that uses all available matching clips before repeating and avoids immediate repeats across reshuffles.
• Fixed the recording cooldown discarding successive clips, including in solo. Clips enter the local cache immediately; multiplayer uploads use a bounded, paced queue.

0.1.5 — unpublished development build

• Added sharp pointed upper/lower tooth rows, visible during the bite attack and attached to the copied jaws.
• Teeth refit when native cosmetic mesh dimensions change and hide at release/interruption.
• Added strong reverb to attack recordings from the player being impersonated; preserves original pitch and words.
• Relays the selected exact clip to peers and briefly waits for missing recordings; never substitutes another player's voice or a synthetic scream.

0.1.4 — unpublished development build

• Replaced constant smooth swivelling with variable-rate turn bursts, quick flicks and held glances.
• Added frequent brief stops while disguised and occasional native jump/fall/land poses.
• Replicated stops, hop progress and quick yaw changes across clients.
• Replaced the grab's movement slow with an actual owner-local position lock before biting.
• Added jump suppression, short freshness leases, hard expiry and interruption/session cleanup for the lock.

0.1.3 — unpublished development build

• Native player walking/sprint clips are driven by travelled distance for player-style leg movement.
• Added visible reach, grab, jaw opening, bite and release poses on the copied player model.
• Replaced contact damage with an interruptible timed bite: one 45-damage hit at the bite moment.
• Brief owner-side movement slow during the grab; no camera/item lock or teleport.
• Attack target and progress synchronize across clients; stale packets cannot sustain restraint.

0.1.2 — unpublished development build

• Testing controls place a mimic about 1.5 metres directly in front of the local player's view.
• Removed room-clearance, minimum-distance and path requirements from test placement.
• Forced test mimics persist and play speech while waiting for navigation attachment.
• Natural encounter placement and cadence retain their existing rules.

0.1.1 — unpublished development build

• Added F6 testing panel with Spawn Now and Auto Spawn buttons for solo players and hosts.
• Manual testing can spawn on level 1, using clear reachable ground nearby.
• Auto Spawn defaults off, keeps one mimic active and resets off when leaving the session.
• Normal two-to-three-level scheduling remains active when automatic testing is off.

0.1.0 — unpublished development build

• Initial player disguise, live cosmetic refresh, matched session voice replay and native robotic lure phrases.
• Host-controlled navigation, luring, isolation check, warning and attack behavior; physical/weapon damage bridge.
• Reproducible encounter intervals of two or three expedition levels.
• One-player capture support without a test menu or manual spawn option.
• Pending full gameplay, cosmetic, audio and multiplayer verification before public release.
