Changelog

0.1.27

• Laser-Rifle no longer counts as hitting weakpoints. It only highlights them mostly for info/aesthetic.
• Laser-Rifle damage: 725% > 650%
• Fixed Rail-Gun having a broken skilldef
• Rail-Gun damage: 725% > 590%
• ^ While this never got felt, its adjusting in accordance to the laser rifle's damage, plus its ability to hit weakpoints easily boosts it by a chunk
• Air Slash Hitbox adjusted to be taller but narrower
• Air Slash now affected by aim direction on entry
• Air Slash initial speed value lowered: 6 > 4.9
• Air Slash final speed value lowered: 1 > 0.5
• ^ with the added aim direction, these changes are to make it not a viable method for aviation (not a good pillar skip)
• ^ Unfortunately this also makes trimping seemingly impossible :<
• uhhh idk if they were broken before but fixed the language tokens? Updated tokens are not in the translations atm

Meant for yesterday's build to be 100% foolproof but these are like... glaring issues. My B

• Fixed vendor bug that would explicitly prioritize duplicates of upgrades already in inventory - This went unnoticed due to jumping between projects but was insanely gameplay impacting (Only found out it was happening from TrentoMento's D-HL vid)

• Added Vendor spawn to Commencement - To give a last chance to spend any remaining / newly acquired data chips
