Added new Defecate ability so you can make your pet parrot shit on a target so they move a couple tiles, useful if you wanna steal something from a shelf, etc.

Also added an innate fire breath ability for when you reach Jawala's Tower in Ch.4 and you can upgrade your pets with special powers.




Complete list of changes:

-New pet abilities: Defecate, Fire Breath.
-Fixed bug with music script where you couldn't play for benefits.
-New Izari boss scripts for Ch.4: Ice Cleric, Fire Cleric, Wild Cleric, Dream Cleric.
-Party members can now talk to henchmen, just not the main party (so they can collect pets).
-Increased Hamchop's skills and base melee damage, changed encyclopedia description to say "expendable".
-HUD now displays "Inventory Disabled" for animals, etc. (instead of max load=-1).
-Fixed dropping pets from inventory (should run use script).
-Improved Ch.3 dialogue (Wahu gives hint about Bone Dagger).
-Feluco now goes auto-berserk sometimes if below 50% health.
-Berserk status effect now increases movement speed.
-Fixed Meta recharge from cancelling Defensive Stance.
-Reputation window now always displays player pic.
-Fixed bug with "objMissile" command.
-New pet sounds for parrot and cat.

We just pushed a minor patch to the SDK2013 branch:

• Rebuilt Linux binaries with Steam Runtime Sniper and GCC10. This should improve compatibility with older distributions
  
• Fixed some cases where the killfeed would not render properly on Linux
  
• Fixed some cases where the the grenade throw delay would not match between the server and the client, resulting in ghost grenades
  
• Demoman Pipes now automatically explode on their own when stuck in func_door entities
  
• Fixed cl_chat_colorize & cl_chat_color_default, which were non-functional before.
  
• Chat color now correctly terminates at a caret that is not followed by a number.
  
• Team Auto-Assign or Spectator can now be selected via the respective number keys in the Team Selection menu
  
• Restored a skingroup on Engineer's player model
  
• [LUA] Implemented SetJetpackState and GetJetpackState CFFPlayer functions, for disabling Pyro's jetpack ability
  
• Updated map credits for ff_cornfield, ff_ksour, ff_monkey, ff_palermo, ff_schtop, ff_shutdown2 and ff_waterpolo
  
• Removed Coplay functionality as we investigate some further issues

We are aware of an issue causing crashes upon selecting a class on Linux. We'll be working on resolving it as soon as possible

Note, servers will need to update for most of these changes to take effect

Happy fragging!

Good afternoon, everyone! We're excited to announce that The final Breath is coming to the Steam Next Fest!
The content of this trial includes the content of the prologue of the game, and the open map Ayu's house, courtyard and rabbit apartment, including nearly thirty intricate rooms.
The prologue is about 1 and a half hours long, and while feeling the horror atmosphere and style of the game, you can experience most of the gameplay including stealth & decryption & combat!!

While exploring the map and uncovering the truth, face all kinds of weird monsters...

Will you be able to overcome the odds and find your way out of your apartment?

Amid the flickering images accompanied by the sound of thunder and lightning, there is a sharp knock at the door, and your adventure has just begun.

We welcome all players to give us feedback on what they think of the game. You can face the developer directly on the game's official community, and we will reply as soon as possible. Any suggestions you have are very important to us.
Finally, if you like "The Final Breath ", please be sure to add a wishlist to support us! Thank you for trying the game!

I added a film grain effect and an on/off option.

- Initial load time optimization for shader warmup
- Optimizations for begin/continue scene loads
- Fixes for invalid autosave triggers firing
- Changed method for playing audio for dialogue sequences

We are looking for Prologue players who agree to participate in a 20-minute game feedback interview via text on Discord.
🙈If you participate in an interview we will give you Discord cosmetics from the latest Halloween collection🙌
What? it is Spooktober. We need to celebrate it somehow👻
