addedChangesAdded icons for all item types - Balanced the revolver audio - There are now impact sounds when a knife hits an enemy - Tutorial exits are 3 seconds faster - Made the scaling on the skeleton boss's zones asymptotic (it took far too long to beat in the later stages of endless mode), its summons' health and is increased and gem output decreased to balance this out - Snake boss's scales now persist into the second phase

fixedBug FixesFixed a typo - The snake boss's full body and head now count as a single hitbox (grenading both the head and the body will no longer do double damage) - Fixed a problem where particles from gems would sometimes cover the gem

fixedKnown IssueThere is a bug where if you hold left mouse button, alt-tab, then tab back into the game, the crosshair will stop updating its position unless you hold left mouse button - This fix will be delayed to the full release as it's an engine level bug which requires updating the game to a newer runtime Edit: It seems like this fix would require a disporportionately large rewrite -- in relation to how harmless and easily avoidable this bug is -- majorly delaying Dead Oculus's release date.
