HDog alpha 0.709 Ultraviolet is finally here, featuring a lot new content in terms of items, as well as some general improvements and quality of life tweaks. Thanks for all your feedback so far, the alpha and AMAZE have been very valuable in that regard. Please continue to report any bugs or odities you might encounter. Some of the new stuff is still subject to change/might need rebalancing. Full dev log is
coming during the next days.

Content
- Basically doubled the amount of actives passives, and weapons available in the game. Especially weapons got a lot new additions, including many new melee options.
- Player can now enrage with certain items, enemies can be EMP or confused. More effects like these have been added alongside the new items.
- You wont find duplicates of weapons you already have anymore
 
Movement
- You can now reverse thrust to break. This can also be used to hover more easily over ground targets.  
- You can now toggle mouse aiming at any point during the game. This makes left and right act as strafe keys. The mouse aiming thing is still WIP, I'm not convinced whether it is really feasible, generally I prefer the existing controls but I leave it in to give you the option. Mouse aiming will also interfere with some item function, so yeah, WIP.
 
Quality of Life Tweaks
- You can now rebind the shoot and jump keys. Mouse 1 and 2 will always retain that function though (you'll need that for some items.)
- Very large screens are now supported. The largest resolution option is now "auto", which will have the game detect your screen size and adjust accordingly. (This won't work well on very small screens.)
- Getting hit now displays some screen glitching, giving some more feedback when you take shield damage
- Gravity is slightly lower, and the camera follows you further down when near the ground
- Clouds change appearance depending on background, makes them stand out less and hopefully makes the playing field a little clearer. Background clouds and the nova are now slightly transparent, again to increase visual clarity.

1.15 (No Masters beta)
Hot New Stuff
- Added a chain of five new Technophages:
Hardgrade: evolves the final boss fight
Iron Dog: enables hard mode
Regicide: enables boss rush mode
Prey: Enables speeddrun mode (always same bosses, wave count and zones, no objectives that have fixed minimal time to complete)
[Redacted]: [Redacted]

- Multiple Technophages can now be active during a single run and all Technophages can be freely combined, you can play bossrush with the new final fight and Plate Flood enabled etc.
(in fact the first new Phage is unlocked by getting a win while you have at least 3 other Technophages active)

- Added three elite versions for every boss in the game. The chance for them to appear is pretty low and only comes into play if you previously flawlessed the boss, unless you increase elite chance through certain items that is. Boss elites have increased stats and/or new behaviors but they also drop more SRM and grant you an additional free chest if you can defeat them.

- 13 new items added, most of which are unlocked by defeating bosses without taking damage

- A few rare items now allow you to parry laser beams, granting you another way to deal with these high threat attacks. The Fang Stray starts with this ability and no longer needs to tank hits at a certain point in the game. (You need to face the source of the beam and strike into it right when it is about to hit you to pull this off, tricky timing and positioning requirements.)

- A few items can now have you suffer from redout if you pull too many Gs, but this only comes into play once you strap ridiculous amounts of engine upgrades onto your jet. A few passives can also make you resistant to the effect.

- Replaced HDogs adaptive res-scaling with a "Cam Zoom" setting in the display options. This effectively allows you to change the games FOV to your taste. Adjust this value if the game appears overall too small for your liking. This is most likely the case if you play on 4k monitors/very high resolution.
