- players now lose stamina when jumping
- added settings menu
- added lobbies and tested multiplayer with steam (which works but there are many bugs to fix before it's playable)
- settings menu UI changed from the initial concept because I was not satisfied with it so I made something simpler and better
Main Menu:
- completely remade the main menu design
- added character tab where you will be able to configure your character's color and maybe some other things in the future
- added session's tab where you will be able to search for sessions online while playing the game
- added host session button which explains itself

bugs fixed:
- fixed bug where you would spawn on a table in level 2
- fixed bug where players could spam jumping and they wouldn't lose stamina at all
- fixed collision bug on stairs in level 37
- fixed textures bug in one of the rooms in level 37
- fixed carpet texture glitching in level 0 start area
- fixed character no head shadow
Other than that no major gameplay updates
known bugs:
- character's flashlight animation doesn't work until you pick up an item, equip it and unequip it or use it. This is a bug that doesn't affect gameplay at all but i've spent countless hours trying to fix it and with no result, I will be redoing all the animations scripting from scratch to make sure everything will work properly at some point but that will take some time.
SETTINGS MENU AND RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
Settings must be configured while in game, not in the main menu
The target fps you should go for is 100-120 because of the performance difference in different level( for example in poolrooms the performance would be worse than in level 0 because of the water and day-night cycle)
On the general tab you can find the basic settings you find on most of the game but these are NOT the main performance killer. The main performance killer in this game is the lighting quality combined with the high AA resolution.
If you have a LOW END PC, the first thing you should do is completely disable reflections and use Screen Space lighting( no Lumen) and then I would suggest these settings:
All general low
Global Illumination: Low
Lumen Quality: Low
Reflections: None
Anti aliasing None/TAA
AA res high/ultra
For MID END Pc users you should have reflections disabled, You can experiment with lighting settings but make sure your AA res is up to ultra
For HIGH END you should probably be able to run the game at 50-60 fps with everything maxed but if you want more fps you should have AA res on ultra, use TAA and lumen final gather on either medium/high, if you have any questions you can leave them in the comments

End Note: I've been really struggling this week with the save system in general but I hope I can figure it out until next week. There will be a 2 weeks period where there won't be any new Pre Alpha version so I can make the trailer for the game and rework the story, when that happens Infinitum will be in the Pre Alpha 0.5.0 version.
