General:
~ Reduced filesize.

Update: 26 Jan @ 10:13pm

v1.14

General:
+ Getting to quota rank 7 now unlocks the following benefits:
+ Transcendent Stun Grenades.
+ Increased flight speed on Jetpack.

+ Getting to quota rank 8 unlocks the following benefits:
+ Increased stun time on Zap Gun's final hit.
+ Upgrades Cruiser's soft armor to super armor.

+ Increases damage boost from quota level 6 from 20% to 50%
+ Increases the kb scaling boost from quota level 7 from 10% to 25%

A few buffs to some of the "you will never get this in an actual match" quota ranks to make them more interesting in casual gamemodes like Endless Abyss or Demon Horde. A guide to quota ranks will be available in the discussion section on Employee's steam page.

Dspecial:
~ "Robot toy" scrap renamed to "Toy robot"

Update: 17 Dec, 2024 @ 12:16am

v1.13

General:
~ Fixed a bug where getting put into extended parry stun would alternate between Employee's regular suit and bunny suit sprites.

Dspecial (Scan / Sell):
- Dramatic mask blood explosion can now be crouch cancelled.
~ Dramatic mask now has an additional visual and audio cue 90 frames before it's about to explode to make its timing less ambiguous.

Update: 2 Dec, 2024 @ 1:00am

v1.12

small polish patch

Uspecial 2 (Company Cruiser):
+The hitboxes while driving the cruiser can now hit multiple times. If an opponent is hit by one of them, there is a grace period of 45 frames before they can be hit by it again.
- Shrunk the hitbox spawned on the front of the cruiser when driving it.

Update: 1 Dec, 2024 @ 4:40pm

v1.11

General:
~ Added an intro animation.
~ Added a down taunt.
~ Fixed an oversight where Employee would lose his currently held scrap if he parried one of his own hitboxes.
~ Adjusted colors on the FTL / "Superluminal Suit" alt.
~ Added a rune.

Utilt:
~ Final hit base hitpause: 8 -> 6.
~ Hitsound of final hit changed.

Dstrong (Extension Ladder):
+ When the ladder falls over, it can now be walked on as a platform.
~ Time ladder stays on the ground before collapsing: 120 frames -> 180 frames.

Nspecial (Terminal Access):
~ Prompt on terminal menu now also specifies that you can press SPECIAL to cancel.
+ Selection now has "shortcuts" with the strong stick in a similar fashion to Shovel Knight's taunt or Harold's Dspecial. Input the following to immediately skip to a slot:
Up: Melee weapons
Left or Right: Fspecial
Down: Uspecial

Uspecial 2 (Company Cruiser):
+ Added vehicular manslaughter: the cruiser can now be driven during the move's charge window. On the ground, it moves faster and gains a hitbox on its front or rear depending on the direction you're driving; in the air, it's a little slower and lacks a hitbox.

Dspecial:
- Active time of scan reduced 16 -> 13.
+ Total length of scan reduced 51 -> 47.
~ When hit out of this move, the scrap you picked up now flies out of Employee's hands to make it more clear that you did not get the item.
~ Added 11 new scrap items, bringing the total in the pool up to 32.
~ Scrap thrown upwards now sends at angle 90 instead of angle 45.

Update: 1 Nov, 2024 @ 10:51pm

v1.10

Dstrong:
- Ladder now gets destroyed immediately if the physical attack is parried.

Fspecial 1 (Stun Grenades):
~ Fixed a bug where using Dspecial (Scan) right as the flashbang is about to detonate would cause it to disappear.

Uspecial 1 (Jetpack):
~ (Hopefully) Fixed a bug where the sprite's offset would be off for a frame.

Dspecial:
+ Easter egg explosion hitstun multiplier 0.75 -> 0.9.
+ Easter egg explosion angle 45 -> 40.
+ Easter egg explosion knockback scaling 0.9 -> 1.

Update: 1 Nov, 2024 @ 12:45am

v1.9

JH moment

- Fixed always finding Comedy with Dspecial

Update: 1 Nov, 2024 @ 12:32am

v1.8

Dspecial:
+ Dramatic masks now track opponents based off of their hurtbox's bounding box, rather than their char_height. This means that not only is it no longer possible to avoid it by crouching, it's also more likely to actually be positioned on the opponent's face visually (at least in non-attacking states.)

Update: 31 Oct, 2024 @ 8:13pm

v1.7

General:
~ Added the following alts:
Brown Suit
Champion's Suit
Superluminal Suit
Cracked Suit
Mycelial Suit
~ Fixed a coloring error on the result_small sprite.
~ Added Kirby (Dream Collection) compatibility.
~ Added The Knight (Reiga) compatibility.
~ Added Mamizou compatibility.
~ Added Po & Gumbo compatibility.

Fspecial 2 (Zap Gun):
- Scan hitbox no longer breaks projectiles.
~ Now has its own "fail" animation when used on cooldown, rather than reusing the fail animation from Fspecial 1.

Dspecial:
- Scan hitbox no longer breaks projectiles.

Update: 29 Oct, 2024 @ 8:45pm

v1.6

General:
+ Level 3 quota requirement reduced: 300 -> 280.
+ Level 4 quota requirement reduced: 430 -> 410.
+ Level 5 quota requirement reduced: 580 -> 550.

I got a few comments that some quota levels were too hard to reach, but also some thinking it was fine– I opted to reduce them only slightly for now to keep the requirement gains consistent up to level 5 (i.e., it goes up by 120 at level 2, 130 at 3, 140 at 4, etc.)

Dstrong (Extension Ladder):
+ Base knockback (physical hitbox) 6 -> 7.
+ Number of tiers ladder can extend to: 3 -> 4. This means it will extend longer faster into the charge, and has an increased maximum height.
- Ladder impact damage gained per tier: 3 -> 2.
- Ladder impact knockback scaling gained per tier 0.15 -> 0.1.
+ Base knockback scaling on ladder impact (grounded) 0.8 -> 0.9.
+ Base knockback scaling on ladder impact (aerial) 0.6 -> 0.7.

Uspecial 2 (Company Cruiser):
+ Startup 38 -> 36.
+ Soft armor on charge window 8 -> 15.
+ Explosion knockback scaling 1.0 -> 1.1.
~ Explosion hitpause scaling 1.0 -> 1.1.
+ Can now be turned around after charging.

Dspecial
+ Scan total length: 54 -> 51.
~ Fixed a visual bug where putting two of the same scrap item on the Company counter would cause the previous instance of it to disappear.
~ Fixed a bug where throwing scrap would sometimes B-reverse it twice on the same frame, canceling it entirely and causing you to throw it in the same direction.
~ Jeb now has 5 additional "rare" voicelines.
