Greetings Elegosians!

Alot of behind the scenes work have been going on with NPC states and the metadata that will decide on things. These are hard to show off right now, but it's laying the ground work for quests and dialogue in a future update.

We finally have gamepad support! (with some caveats of course). We've tested it with a PS5 pad, an Xbox pad and a Switch Pro Controller and they all work fine and as expected. We haven't got button remapping or changes to stick sensitivity at this point, that will come in the future. Our whole input system is using Unity's new(ish) InputSystem and so if the input device is supported by that and fits the normal gamepad layouts, then it should work fine already. We've decided to support the gamepad without having to specifically choose the device in the Settings, mainly because it makes it nice and seamless so the player can jump between controllers, connect/disconnect without restarting. We don't have any feedback/UI at the moment regarding what controllers are being detected/usable and the menus aren't navigable using a gamepad, you’ll still need to use mouse for that.

We've completed alot of work on our lighting and nothing shows that off better than sunset shots.

We've tweaked fog, ambient light and added torches to dark areas. This placement of lights is happening during our set dressing passes and so it won't be long until everything will be lit correctly.

The usual tweaks to music and audio as things get noticed have happened.
