Complete colour overhaul

We completely changed the coloring of Harvest VR. Previously each object would have 1 color. But this has been changed so that now little gradients are found on each and every object. Also this helps us a LOT for performance since we only have a single pallette to colour everything!

Modular Mine!

The mine has been rebuild from the ground up and is now different every time you enter!

Under the hood

This might be less interesting for you! But we've completely redone most of Harvest VR's core mechanics. We've redone, NPC's dialoging, item/store/fishing/plants organising, added testing, added test coverage, and a LOT(and I mean really, a LOT) more. This results in making the game more stable, more easy to continue building on, AND more fun for us to work on!
