I've uploaded a new build, mainly focussed on bug fixes and platform updates. Details below:

Bug Fixes

• Death handled correctly, the camera doesn't attach itself back to the player's dead body location after respawning.
• Player death in the water now results in a drowning animation.
• Inventory is carried over correctly after respawning.
• Quest state is no longer carried over to a new game, so re-starting no longer results in a progress-breaking bug where "I Had a Dream" can't be progressed.
• Load and Save game options are re-enabled in the pause menu.
• Fixed the issue where the player's first death didn't trigger the death animation.
• Fixed subsurface scattering issue in player skin shader.
• Fixed issue with terrain details (flowers and grass) "flipping" at different distances from the camera.
• Reduced main map "point of interest" label size and centred it over the POI.

New Features / Enhancements

• I've added more "default fog" that enhances the world's overall feel. Let me know if you think otherwise!
• Added more detail to the "Mortlake" settlement location.
• I've increased the number and frequency of animal spawns in the game world.
  • This will have an impact on performance, and I'm testing out different combinations to get the right balance. I might add this as a performance option in the next build.
• The performance tab now has some useful presets. I suggest the following as a baseline:
  • DLSS: Off
  • Quality: Standard
  • Target FPS: 30
  • vSync: Every second frame

Known Issues

• Gamepad mouse controller not working properly.
• The "My Dear Hunter" quest is bugged, spawned deer isn't recognised as the quest objective.
• DLSS causes issues with GPU Instancer culling.

Internal

• Updated Unity to 2021.3.12f1
• GeNa updated to 3.4.0.
• I've Implemented "GPU Instancer" for terrain details and trees. Hoping this gives us a good boost in FPS while maintaining high-quality visuals.
