[h2]NEW[/h2]
[list]
[*] Added [b]In-Game Text Chat[/b] to help provide more player accessibility. This has been a highly requested feature for a while now and I am happy to finally get it in.
[*] Added pet icons to be consistent with the rest of the new UI update in 0.0.5.
[*] Added [b]Pool Noode Sword color variations[/b] (it only makes sense to have this).
[*] Added a small radial light to the spectator camera to allow spectating players to see the player they are watching in dark lit scenes. The light should provide just enough lighting to see the player but not enough to see everything around them as this would break immersion and allow players to help through Night Shifts too easily.

[h2]UPDATES[/h2]
[list]
[*] Updated the settings menu by adding a new tab called "HUD" which now contains the options for photomode, dead teammates, and text chat.
[*] Updated the Scanner for better performance, faster responsiveness, and better accuracy when calculating totals.
[*] Updated Subject 6 audio to help make it a bit more distinguishable from Night Walkers.
[*] The Doppelganger corpse now displays the face of the doppelganger if a flashlight is shined on it.
[*] Players can no longer drop items while the ship is landing/returning to orbit to prevent loss of items when dropped during this transition.
[*] Players can no longer interact with the Pilot Seat while a Night Shift vote is in-progress. This is required to prevent players from becoming permanently stuck on the map due to interrupted game logic.
