Hey guys, here's a new update for you.
I wanted to include a
serious video for the update, but I'm really tired this week, and got really frustrated with render settings. Took me much longer to render this video, all was in vain. So I did what I did. I hope you still like it though.
Please read through the changelog first, and then open the video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqO2Z551cSo&feature=youtu.beBalance:
