A WORD OF WARNING...

There is a risk that your AV software will flag the .exe used to run the game as a virus. This in completely unintentional on my part - WetworkRL is a computer game and nothing else. The reason it's being flagged most likely has something to do with the process of turning Python programs into Windows executables. I have no fix for this at the moment, sorry.

ALPHA 0.1.2 CHANGELOG

NEW FEATURES

• Added fire, which causes Burning on living entities and burns through walls
• You can no longer level up CON manually; instead, the player gains 3 maximum HP each time they level up
• Changed Riot Dispersion Grenade into Magnesium Grenade, which causes entities caught in the blast to be set on fire
• When determining if an attack hits, the game now rolls 2d{attacker ACC} vs 1d{attacker ACC * 2} instead of for some reason rolling 1d{attacker ACC} vs 1d{target DEF}

BUGFIXING

• Fixed issue where enemies sometimes wouldn't attack the player despite being in melee range (for real this time)
• Fixed the K9 enemy being completely unable to actually harm the player 95% of the time
• Fixed issue where using the grenade would cause an error
• Fixed issue where enemy turns would sometimes be handled twice per turn
• Various balance tweaks to account for players now gaining HP with each level up and for attacks less frequently missing
