New unit

The Hoverbot is the Turscarites' primary assault bot, boasting a tear gas cannon and an ominous mask intended to strike fear into those who would block the worship of Turscar!

Bots can use locked doors

If they have clearance, that is. Initiates do not, and certain other NPCs have higher levels. None of them drop keycards, but instead they internally use a chip to monitor and restrict access.

I've added more doors throughout the main level, some of which are locked.

Security Camera interactions

You can disable them across the entire map via a terminal in one sector. Doing so will spawn an alert.

Bug fixes and QOL

When changing sector, you now face forward.

Playtest end-of-life

I'm converting the playtest to open, but closing it entirely on the 31st of March. If you haven't tried it, please do so and let me know what you think!
