Alpha 0.0.7 Update: The start of Virtual Training and Single Player content


Hello there! This here update is at the same time big and small.

It introduces the "Virtual Training": an option you can switch on the menu to get into a hub of what will be the game's tutorials, some single player content, and some arcadey modules.

I really want to get the basic tutorials right so they might take a while until I am happy with them. In the meantime, having access to the training hub will at least be some form of simple one-player entertainment, with a simple firing range with 10 respawning static targets that mimic standard Mandrillian's size, health, and critical zones. In the future this range will be updated with pre-made sequences for different styles of engaging.

As many Virtual Training modules will be single-player, this update also introduces my first version of the third-person spectator cam, allowing the people at the PC screen to have a little more interesting view than just a duplicate of the VR mirror.

As an extra, this update also includes the Plasma Rifle. It doesn't have an item spawner entry, but you can use it freely on the Virtual Training firing range, and has a very small chance of appearing on the Research weapon crate while using standard loot styles.

Finally, this update has a higher-contrast minimap to help people detect sound notifications easier.

Hope you like what you see, and stay tuned for the upcoming tutorials and training modules!

CHANGELOG:

-ADDED TRAINING MODE HUB WITH BASIC FIRING RANGE

-ADDED EXPERIMENTAL SINGLE-PLAYER 3RD PERSON SPECTATOR  CAMERA

-NEW WEAPON: PLASMA RIFLE

-Increased minimap's contrast

-Under-the-hood bugfixes
