After five years I can't believe the day is finally here! I've been overwhelmed by the immense support I've gotten from everyone, and I still can't fully believe so many people see the same promise in this game that I did all those years ago.

Adjusted the sensitivity curve when zooming in. The zoom-in speed is now slower than before when not zoomed in very far, which should make short zooms more ergonomic. · Adjusted grey wall material to improve look · Minor improvements to line-of-sight visibility between areas · Added an entryway to the Hub 2 transition area so that something is visible in the portal when looking up at it from Hu…
