I'm finally getting to a healthy place again, slowly but surely, and next year is looking up for not just myself, but everyone in the Crisis Point team. I've said it before, but despite the long wait for v0.45, this update isn't any larger than any previous update has been. I wasn't working for a large portion of the year thanks to my mental health issues leaving me barely able to get out of bed some days, but I felt the need to get v0.45 out and finished, even if the size of it is disappointing to some people. Honestly, after all this time there's no possible way I could make an update big enough to make up for the long wait, so I've just been crunching hard the past week to get what I could out of the door, so the team can start 2022 fresh and without the weight of 8 months of expectations keeping us down. Speaking of starting fresh, let's look forward to v0.46, shall we? v0.42 MAJOR CHANGES AND FEATURES -Added lots more areas to explore and secrets to find around the game world -Rework Boss 3 from the ground up -Added Kertalus CG (missing Birch voice acting for now) -Finished H-scene animation between Lucas and Verreda -Re-added Lucas Atticor voice acting with his new actor, Leo Greystone -Fixed more bugs and issues v0.40.0 -Implemented a new mobility powerup, Hoverjets -New H-scene added with Poison Alraune (also finished Crystal Dragon H-scene climax animation) -Added new CG scene with the Torguis -Added more areas to explore in the Subaquatic Caverns -Upgraded above-water background art in Subaquatic Caverns -Optimized Subaquatic Caverns somewhat, so weaker computers hopefully won't encounter performance issues anymore -Added several new cutscenes and environmental dialogues -Fixed more bugs and minor issues (detailed list at the end of the post) v0.37 & v0.37.1 -Fixed a common crash involving slimes and ceiling ramps -Fixed music not transitioning properly from Catacombs to Deep Soil, or vice versa, from the new save point -Added a small delay before some enemies become active after entering a room, to give the player time to react if an enemy is right in front of them -Fixed the small pit near the Flare Shot in the Catacombs being too large for the player to escape if they don't have the Kilogrip upgrade -Fixed a bug that caused a softlock if the player touches a Cumshooter enemy while in BE state -Added in new enemy, Torguis, to the Catacombs (doesn't have H-scenes yet) -Create more areas to explore in the Catacombs and Deep Soil -Finish adding mouse support to all parts of the menu -Reworked save system to fix the issue where you cannot transfer saves between computers (NOTE: unlike previously expected, this change will NOT invalidate previous saves! Just load your save in, then save the game again, and your save will be automatically updated to the new system) -Rework some level designs in the Catacombs to allow the player to explore it without Omnidash and Kilogrip abilities, then move Omnidash to further in the game (Omnidash is currently only available at the very end of the demo, and is not saved or loaded to your save file.

player pauses at the same frame a conversation starts -Fixed a small amount of incorrect text in some CG scenes -Fixed "automated sex scenes" option not saving and loading properly -Fixed a softlock bug in the Catacombs where leaving the room with the Cursed Orb before destroying the Cursed Orb made it disappear without removing the curse, disabling progression -Reworked boss fight H-scenes to use the same code as other H-scenes, giving them consistent audio and length with the rest of the game's H-scenes -Reduced volume of looping Laser Wall sound and fixed a bug where their volume was not changing with global sound effect volume setting -Fixed an issue where tar rain would briefly appear when the player boots up the game and loads into a Summit area after having already killed boss 2

fights (also lowered the max volume of the blaster slightly) -Screen shake added to Force Shot explosions, enemy death, and a cutscene -Melee weapon attacks can no longer open security doors (changed because it made it possible to skip obtaining the gun at the start of the game) -Minor lighting engine behavior added so that the lighting level gradually lowers as the player falls from the Summit to the Catacombs -Made it so the sound that plays when changing volume levels in the Audio/Video menu changes its volume based on the volume of the setting you're changing -Icons meant to signal interactions have been changed to display the appropriate keybind rather than a generic up arrow -Environmental Dialogue text is no longer zoomed when an H-scene starts during a conversation, which
