In case you're unfamiliar, very early on in CULTIC's development, there was an ability system that added in some Bioshock-esque abilities for the player to use, but it was cut a long time ago because it didn't fit with CULTIC's combat design, pacing, and simplicity. However, the abilities were pretty much fully functional, so I felt they were going to waste just being buried in the code! Bear in mind, these abilities were never really balanced, nor were enemies or encounters designed around them, so they're just here for fun! The code behind them is very old, and I did my best to clean everything up, but if you notice any bugs, let me know as always! This update also brings the addition of the Damage Numbers Gameplay option, which will allow you to see enemy HP values and your damage dealt, for players interested in more granular information about the weapons and enemies, or those trying to balance a Custom Difficulty preset! [b]Ability Mode is a Custom Difficulty option and can be enabled from the Custom Difficulty > Game Modifiers menu[/b] Full changelog below!
