Notes: 

• Another massive update since July, I managed to fix the lighting in the game completely. no more flashing lights based on the camera movement! I also have a fully playable second level of the first episode called Dreaden Mines. A mining level where the fallen are digging for materials. The player input system was iterated 5 times, yes... FIVE times and its finally perfected. The player movement includes acceleration & deceleration + friction, momentum and proper swimming, and regulates itself based on ANY fps running on your PC.
  There's Two new enemies in this update, the Elite Grunt, has a saw blade for an arm and a grenade launcher for the other. The second enemy was named Delusion, a telekinetic flying lizard that shoots green energy at the player. This totals of 4 enemies in the game so far. The Options menu also got an update with added anti-aliasing, environmental lighting, monitor switching and a environmental effects category. Vigor has been added to the health system, vigor extends the max health by 5. regular health boxes only increase your health to 100 but by picking up health vials increases your health based on how many vigor were obtained. Vigor power ups are secrets.
