v0.8.70 - The "LODESTAR" Update


Another BIG update is now live, improving game flow with more contextual inputs (Such as using elevator, and dropping down platforms), bugfixes, new animations (!), and an overhauled arm rotation mechanic, enabling smooth aiming (Especially better on Gamepad), and subtle movements during reload, gun switching, etc.! The new Enemy Tier-system is included, a new item; "Tactical Laser Kit", and the player will now retract his/her gun when standing next to close terrain to prevent clipping through walls! Many other improvements, with full changelog listed below!
