Removed hard zone boundaries
Fixed stuff that broke because of hard zone boundary assumption (stardust placement, vertical fog)
Added a skybox!
Removed density-based albedo boost (_TintExponent) to improve perceptual uniformity at different step sizes, reconfigured shader to achieve / surpass previous looks and performance
Cell Brush has a material editor now to enable variant selection
Enabled Caching Shader Preprocessor
Moved raymarching loop into CloudShader
Get environment settings from game manager to enable configuration / variation
Introduced slope-based nebulae damping and volumetric flow
Hid optional volumetric features behind preprocessor branches
Created shader variants selected by global keywords for all shaders depending on volumetrics
Environment settings used to configure shader variant selection
Moved dynamic lighting settings to own subclass
Dynamically adjust gravity map isoline contour depth range according to zone contents
Improved volumetric flow performance by orders of magnitude
Cleaned up old raymarching support code
Moved asteroid height calculation to vertex shader
Manual culling for asteroid field render update
Converted remaining .blend files to .fbx
Type check safe cast operator broken in DictionaryInspector? Wrote around it
UI Materials not blending properly - fixed by switching to Fade transparency mode
Applied nebula lit shader to "planets" and asteroids
Modified gas giant shader to accept nebula lighting and to be a bit less crappy in general
Fixed raymarching depth sampling perspective distortion
Added new clouds shader with improved raymarching loop
Currently only being used in main menu (rest is coming right up!)
Removed WWise (it's nice, but all it's doing is throwing exceptions rn since we ain't about to get a license)
Fixed towing system
Tweaked Nebula Flow (a lot)
Extracted environment appearance settings into ZoneEnvironment data structure
Stardust particles now follow global flow field
Fixed various bugs caused by triggering wormhole animation multiple times
Sector -> Galaxy
Fixed bug in hostility system; deserialized entities' PresencePermitted was silently throwing an exception (due to Faction being null during initialization) and thus never updating in response to security level changes
Worked a bit on story processing
Map icons now have a constant size independent of zoom level
Galaxy Map now displays zone properties when clicking on a zone
Zone generator now uses half of nebula density, means smaller and more varied zones
Stations will refuse docking to entities with insufficient clearance
Implemented hostility system - entities can mark each other as friend or foe depending on changing conditions (currently only depends on local security level)
Added "friendly" target indicators in blue
Implemented saving/loading of custom input settings
Incorporated Input Screen in game
Organized UI scripts into folders
Deleted some unused UI scripts
Reimplemented Fog Blur (by copying modified DoF to assets)
Replaced Unity TAA with PlayDead TAA
Custom keyboard layout test scene
Adjusted Aetheric Drive VFX to be more subtle
Reworked stardust VFX to reduce flickering artifacts
Added Action Bar & weapon groups saving/loading
Implemented security levels and faction safe zone visualization
Improved station placement (now include defensive turrets)
