Steam Marines 2 - v0.7.3a, 4 July 2018

Hello, folks. Been working on knocking out some more subtle bugs since the Linux launch, and also focusing on more marine weapons, enemy AI/balancing, and user interface issues.

A couple things to note about build v07.3a: the user interface is far from finished. I know the combat log and targeting panel is not the easiest to read, and there's more information I need to stuff in there. It's definitely a Work-In-Progress!

Overall Steam Marines 2 should now run smoother and the UI should be clearer.

v0.7.3a Changelog

• Exposed more developer console debug tools to players (documentation forthcoming).
• Added a message to screen when the game is saving in the combat scene.

• Added more information to the marine targeting panel, such as marine class effects.
