v0.6.3

Stabilized Warden overhead vitality bars.
Player overhead shield/health bars now anchor to a consistent hero footprint instead of shifting when movement and attack sheets use different dimensions or padding.

Added optional overhead vitality bars for Wardens.
Local and remote player Wardens can now show floating shield and health bars above their heads so incoming pressure is readable without only watching the fixed HUD.
Options now include a Player Bars toggle, and the preference is saved per profile.

Improved player damage feedback readability.
Player and remote-player hero sprites now flash red briefly when they take damage, in addition to the existing screen shake.
Client-side multiplayer damage feedback now reacts to shield-only hits as well, so host-reported vitality loss shows the same visual response.

Reworked trader economy and inventory utility offerings.
Trax now prices shop stock and all repairs in copper only, even after premium trader stock unlocks.
Trader rolls can now include bag upgrades, including several new bag tiers that reuse the existing bag art while offering more inventory-capacity steps.
Legendary and Unique gear now sells back for much stronger copper payouts.
Tuned durability and hazard pressure to be less punishing.
Repairable gear now spawns with higher durability pools and loses durability much more slowly in combat.
Fire-torch terrain hazards now apply much lighter burn damage.
Added safer enemy recovery and cleaner run progression presentation.
Enemies stranded on blocked tiles or stuck on the same tile for too long now snap back to the nearest SpawnArea instead of remaining soft-locked.
Dragon portals snap to SpawnAreas, dragons ignore their own Dragon Gate collision so they cannot trap themselves in the portal, and round-based unlock achievements were removed in favor of the existing wave-based progression.
Defeat recap now includes copper gained and gold gained for the run.

Tightened multiplayer cast sync and pickup ownership again.
Host snapshots now mirror client-owned ranged projectiles and spell-effect entities more faithfully, which improves cross-machine visibility for Jade casts, lightning effects, flame walls, and other replicated spell visuals.
Clients stop rendering their own host-mirrored projectiles back onto themselves, reducing duplicate local cast visuals while still showing the shared authoritative battlefield to the other machine.
Fixed host-credit pickup bugs for remote collectors.
Shared pickups collected by a remote player now update that remote player’s replicated run state instead of crediting the host by default.
Remote pickup rewards now carry back copper, gold, revive charges, and the common personal powerup timers through the player snapshot stream.
Removed more host-side remote ranged attack guesswork.
Remote ranged heroes now rely on their mirrored cast/projectile stream instead of host-side nearest-enemy auto-fire fabrication.
Host-side remote melee attack selection now respects local-style range gating instead of attacking any enemy on the map.

Fixed another multiplayer sync edge case for shared combat visuals and pickups.
Multiplayer clients no longer locally collect mirrored host pickups, preventing rapid repeated pickup/powerup triggers when standing on the same shared drop.
Host-simulated remote spell projectiles now use hero-specific magical visuals more consistently, including Jade’s elemental projectile presentation on the host.
Improved replicated spell and VFX visibility between players.
Projectile snapshots now recognize more spell and support-effect textures instead of dropping them as invisible fallback visuals on the other machine.
Additional spell-sheet textures used by healing, elemental, smoke, sparkle, and explosion effects now resolve through the multiplayer texture-id mapping.

Tightened multiplayer host sync for live combat presentation.
Day/night lighting now follows the host snapshot so clients stay on the same lighting phase instead of advancing their own local cycle.
Clients no longer run local enemy death/drop cleanup in multiplayer, preventing diverging pickups and battlefield state after enemy kills.
Improved remote Warden visuals during multiplayer combat.
Remote dash trails now render for other players, including the red dash variant when active.
Remote hero visuals stop reinitializing their sprite sheets every snapshot, reducing Robin’s visible size popping while attacking.
Remote secondary-weapon and attack presentation now follow replicated player state more closely.
Expanded replicated battlefield state carried by host snapshots.
Host snapshots now include additional player movement and dash state plus the active day/night clock data.
Clients continue mirroring host-authoritative enemies, projectiles, pickups, escorts, spawners, and event controllers from the same shared snapshot stream.

Fixed the Linux Steam depot launchers on fresh installs.
The checked-in Linux entry scripts under Client-Linux and Steam ContentBuilder’s WardensLinux payload now use Unix LF line endings, preventing /usr/bin/env: 'bash\r' failures when the depot is published from a Windows checkout.
The staged Linux launcher scripts now resolve their own directory through an explicit SCRIPT_DIR, keeping the Steam entrypoint and run.sh anchored to the staged game root before starting Wardens of Wen.bin.
