### June 8th, 2016

* Balance Change

* We felt the previous changelog was a bit too brief, so we wanted to clarify
	+ Things have changed
	+ Changes have been made to things
		- More specifically, in-game things
		- Those changes relate to in-game balance changes

### June 7th, 2016

* We've tweaked how bullet penetration works
* New class: Hybrid, branches off Destroyer
* New class: Manager, branches off Overseer (corrected 2016.6.9)
	+ Mix of Overseer with Stalker
* Nerfed Stalker fade out time

### June 6th, 2016

* We've tweaked how bullet penetration works:
	+ Bullet penetration is (and has always been) bullet health
	+ Before: Bullets would always deal their entire damage, even if they had little health left
	+ After: Bullets now deal a proportional amount of damage if they're about to die while dealing that damage
	+ This has some deep changes in how bullet penetration plays out in a few scenarios, so let us know what you think
	+ It should make bullets behave more fairly when two players have different penetration values
	+ This change actually affects anything that deals damage on touch, be it tanks or drones. It also means that body damage also decreases damage taken
	+ Thus we have also adjusted some other values in the game to offset this change
* New class: Hybrid branches off Destroyer
* New class: Manager, branches off Overseer
	+ Mix of Overseer with Stalker
* Nerfed Stalker fade out time
* New unnamed class which branches off Destroyer
	+ Please don't spam the subreddit with suggestions for the name

* New game mode: Domination
	+ Two teams compete for control of the Dominators, powerful guns that will insta-kill any nearby enemy
	+ Increased XP game to offset shorter game length
	+ This is the first game mode with a win condition, so it's not completely polished yet
* Two new classes that branch off Tri-Angle: Fighter and Booster

### June 2nd, 2016

* New game mode: Domination
	+ Two teams compete for control of the Dominators, powerful guns that will insta-kill any nearby enemy

### May 29th, 2016

* We've added support for different game modes
	+ For now the only new game mode is "Team DM", which is basically FFA played with teams
