addedSpeaking of future scenarios, I'm calling Raid on Pirate's Point the last scenario of GHC Season One. What does that mean? When I start releasing the next bunch of scenarios- Plastic Island Panic, Shopper's Paradise, Summer Dolce- I will probably raise the price of the game from $10 to $15. It was either that or release them as DLC. If you have already bought the game, then great! You will get all the new adventures for free! If you have not yet bought the game, you have until I finish Plastic Island Panic to buy it at its current low price!
addedOther changes include better random names, revamped screen scaling code, mutually exclusive merit badges, new mecha and content, bug fixes and quality of life improvements. Here's the complete list:
fixedFixed a bug in the containers unit!
removedMerit badges may have contra badges which get removed if badge earned
addedRemoved unusued and not working android import from pbge; if android support added later, will need to rewrite anyhow
addedAdded config troubleshooting option to disable scaling altogether

The biggest change this time around is the fact that the Raid on Pirate's Point scenario is finally complete. The districts of the city have been detailed and many now feature unique quests. There are five different endings, each of which can vary slightly depending on your actions during the campaign. The ending you get has consequences that will carry forward to future scenarios.
