+ BMFont rendering in batches
+ Image loading with stb_image
+ GUI system refactored into IMGUI style
+ Dynamic asset loader

+ Hoplites are now the merfolk basic unit
+ Slavers are now the orc basic unit

+ Still working on combats.
+ Players and enemies can now take damage
+ Made a boar and tentacle enemies

+ made the garage slightly less shit (thanks anon)
+ improved graphics a bit
+ redesigned my player skeleton
- have to adjust the old models to the new skeleton
- have to redo animations
- gotta update a lot of stuff due to new skelly

+ The dialogue system now works properly. It's possible to have a conversation with multiple branch/choices.
+ Some improvement done to some areas, including a bunch of new models/texture. Things are slowly fleshing up.
+ A few new avatars, sprites (visual effects like buffs) and the like.
+ Started the UI for the main character menu (especially the inventory of scrolls, cards, etc. so that we can start receiving things through dialogues and encounters.)
+ Fixed some encounter-stacking problem. Now the player and his opponent lock into place properly during an encounter.
- Need to revise a few quickly made UI at the start of the project to centralize everything.
- Most models are static, some need animations.
- Tried to make a new enemy, looked like a roadkill. Need to get better with blender.

+ Continuing on the HUD rework
+ Potions received their own individual bars
+ Many new stats for potions
- Done away with the global potion bar on the main HUD

+ New Actors: Box, Bridge, Pin, Camera and Goal - only a few actors are missing now in the refactor
+ State system for Actors - a Bridge for example has a "Bridged" state which makes it flicker when overlapping a Wall
+ Level loading and switching
+ Persistent Actors system - the Camera and Player actors are persistent between levels now like in the old version
+ Viewport is scaled correctly to the window size
+ Played around with HDR and glow graphics
+ Feeling good about the code structure and Module system I made, it's holding up nicely and actually making my job easier, the Camera and Bridge actors for example share the mFollow module - Camera follows the Player with a maximum range of 1, which makes it lag behind 1 tile max, and Bridges follow the Camera at range 0 plus initial offset, which makes their relative position always the same to the Camera

+ New enemy types (including chest-mimics)
+ Magic system basics (spells by combining runes)
+ Reworked enemy system to support different behaviors & attacks

+ fixed IK bones

+ added a FOV for the enemies

+ Retextured some assets.
+ Minor UI optimizations for performance.
+ Working on a heavy enemy with a minigun, resurrected from one of my early projects circa 2014-ish.
- Minigun enemy is a pain in the ass to UV unwrap.
