Controls

Most keybindings are now located in the Game Settings menu and can be customized.
The Help menu entry has been trimmed down accordingly.
Note regarding controller support.
Initial preparations for controller support have already been made in the Controls window.
While keys can already be assigned and used there, some essential mechanics in Onyx are not yet optimized for controller use.
Playing with a controller is therefore not fully supported yet, especially when it comes to UI navigation and using abilities, items, tools or weapons.

New

Shadow entities added.
Also catchable as a pet.
Added new animation for casting abilities.
Added new animation for executing abilities.
Added new animation for dashing.

Improvements

Lots of tweaks and improvements to the control system.
The game menu in the bottom left is now open by default when starting Onyx.
