It's been far too long since I've made an update.  That's a terrible thing I don't want to happen very often, but I started to put in the quest updates and it made sense to get a number of additional features up to snuff in support of it.  That's on me, but on the upside to you folks, you get to see a bunch of changes all at once.  Multi-stage boss conflicts!  Dynamic music!  Persistent map states!  Improved quest display!  Physics fixes!  Visual Cleanup!  Whew, here goes!

Quests

• Entering a map occupied by a boss now requires the player to progress through the map and take out a number of strategic structures in order to coax the boss to face you.
  • Outpost maps are defended by armored watchtowers.
  • Ruined cities require you to take out fuel dumps.
• The quest title is shown when entering and area, and updates are shown as the player achieves objectives.
• The mini quest display is cleaned up and should update properly.
• Quests are properly resumed when the player returns to a location.
• Reviewing your quests that are in maps other than the current one is handled better.

Music

• Added some post-apocalyptic music and a couple stingers.  Adjusted existing stingers.
• Added dynamic music tracks for city and outpost tactical maps.
• Dynamic music now escalates as the player takes out more emplacements and the enemy spawns get more intense, up until the boss is unleashed and the boss music is played.
• Added boss-specific music, and adjust the intensity based on how close the boss is.

Visuals

• Adjusted the anti-aliasing so the game isn't blurry.  Temporal anti-aliasing can cause a smearing effect might work for realistic titles but ain't great for games with precise information to dole out.

Combat/Systems

• Added sustained fire bonuses that improve player accuracy after multiple attacks.
• Painting an enemy with the radar will improve player accuracy against them.
• Improved some targeting response elements by indicating which entities are people, cars, emplacements, etc.
• Emplacements such as watchtowers have new aggro and play distinct spotted sounds.
• Extended the aggro duration of enemies and made sure they don't lose interest in the player while still in sight.

 Balance

• Junkthrowers do 50% more damage. They were supposed to be scrub-tier weapons but they were just sooooo bad.
• The Stallion now has a bolt rifle mounted front and two junkthrowers (one per side).  Its combat capability was depressingly terrible.
• Mines have a lower cooldown again.
• Significantly more cash is dropped from loot crates and enemies.  Killing a boss and getting $4 was definitely sub-awesome.
• Zones have fewer garages.

Map Generation

• Quest emplacements like watchtowers and fuel dumps are placed in sockets that are part of map generation.  Thus their placement is more crafted.
• Loot crates and barrels also have specific hand-crafted sockets for various map generation tiles, for a less haphazard placement.  
  • Crates are off the beaten path, sometimes in nooks or dead-ends, but generally in a place somewhat thought out.
  • Barrels are placed in clusters around road hazards, fuel stations and large wrecks.
• Loot and barrels now have a tunable target number placed per map.  Before it was a much wilder range of possibilities.

Progression

• Population, quest progression and entity placement is now saved when exiting and returning to a map.
• Entities, enemies, sites and pickups now save their state (when marked to do so) when leaving and returning.
  • This is not quite all the way to full savegames, but we're very close.

UI

• Improved the display of enemy misses somewhat.  Shots go wide and misses are pretty clear.
• Cleaned up the "chrome" UI window borders.  They were originally photoshopped from actual chrome dashboards but that didn't scale as well as I'd like.  Buttons have their own appearance now.
• Improved some bugs with weapon targeting and the widgets over target vehicles.
• Can now display entities as singular or plural for quest readouts.
• Boss and targeting popup displays are now cleaner and, well, less terrible.

Bugs

• Fixed the handling of rotating 
• Improved some poorly-handled persistent effects such as oil jets and skids...  These are now handled with greater safety and more robustness.
• Enemies no longer can get in a state of attacking inanimate objects or themselves.
