Octo Arsenal changelog

0.5.27 — 2026-10-27

• Added public AI-creation disclosure to documentation and compiled metadata.
• Prepared matching GitHub, Thunderstore, Hexium and Nexus release packages.
• Retained 0.5.26 gameplay, approved fitting defaults, stats, material costs, quests, weapon modes and all 36 embedded resources.
• The only changed runtime method is the startup version log.

0.5.26 — 2026-10-27

• Made completed in-game weapon position, rotation and size adjustments built-in defaults.
• Removed the temporary F9 fitting editor and retired obsolete fitting settings safely.
• Updated the quiver-panel default position; retained existing progression and assets.

Changes since the previous public Nexus build

• Added Steel Longsword: two-handed attacks and four appearances at qualities 1, 4, 7 and 10.
• Added Armour Fang: one physical weapon switching between blunt hammer and piercing, ore-mining pick with Y. Both modes share quality, durability and quenching progress.
• Added individual-item quenching quests before material and battle-idol upgrades. Damage contributes only when an eligible enemy dies; the final hit is not required. Shields count contributed enemy deaths while equipped, without requiring a block.
• Replaced trophy-based material upgrades with the accepted biome material path.
• Kept battle idols above level 10. Late quests rise from 20 foes at target level 11 to 50 at level 30 and remain capped at 50 per level.
• Moved the smaller tracker to the right of the hotbar and added the N visibility toggle.
• Simplified the locked crafting label to "Steel needs Quenching."
• Preserved saved weapon progress and completed stages during quest-goal migration.

These are consolidated development changes. The final binary and multiplayer transport still require live in-game verification; automated checks are not a substitute for that check.
