Thanks for all the feedback! We already fixed a lot of the issues, especially increasing performance on Steam Deck, and adjusting many of the new animations for the player, enemies and NPCs. 

My favourite new features this time: 

• Zak now sheaths his weapon if he doesn't need it!
• You can carry physics objects from one room to another!
• NPCs show reactions if Zak tries to make them angry! :)

Here is the changelog:

• animations: player sheaths weapon if not attacking
• animations: if hit, player hit animation goes towards correct direction
• animations: correct player animation during teleport 
• visuals: "ready for heavy attack" FX is more beautiful
• visuals: adjusted Trader Jane to have less "manly" shoulders
• options: disable environment interaction & sunrays (for slower hardware)
• physics: adjusted "carry object" -> smoother pick-up
• physics: player can carry objects from one room to another
• physics: action selection and highlighting is more precise
• physics: player doesn't drop object anymore if a cutscene is started (only if cutscene itself needs it)
• physics: plants near farm can be destroyed :)
• world: hid some chests, added some rocks
• AI: NPCs show reaction if player makes them angry
• AI: adjusted most of the enemies' and Two-Headed Chicken behaviours and animations
• UI: selection is circular - if going beneath the bottom UI entry, selection goes to the top (and vice versa)
• UI: medikit is automatically selected (higher priority than detonators)
• fixed: saving and restoring tutorials correctly (game breaker)
• fixed: flying units do not follow player to death anymore, if s/he falls into a pit
• fixed: Ramius now starts talking automatically (in mine complex) --> before, player could pass him and effectively skip that part of the story (Gamebreaker)
• fixed: player continues to walk after a cutscene or leaving a door, if input is already pressed
• fixed: player walking animation would sometimes flicker
• fixed: player walking animation matches slow walking speed
• fixed: Ramius' door was open all the time (should only open after meeting Ramius) (Gamebreaker)
• fixed: dodge animation direction was calculated incorrectly
• fixed: walk animation speed was calculated incorrectly
• fixed: head animation towards targets was calculated incorrectly
• fixed: Sandworm attack FX direction was calculated incorrectly
• fixed: light rays of opened doors would not be shown
• fixed: units stop moving when they are killed
• fixed: Mwarf flamethrower FX was too big (too bright)
• fixed: whole screen would sometimes stay blurred after loading a savegame
• fixed: rumble would continue during tutorial UI
• LOTS of performance increases

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year! :) <3
