Melee Rework, Community Items, Cool ass AO shader and more!

Changelog:

New Weapon:

• KS-23 M. First community weapon from September's contest. Currently only obtainable through the debug menu.

New Cosmetics:

• #NotHank. One of the first community cosmetics. Currently only obtainable through the debug menu.
• "Aim Here" Baseball Cap Variant. One of the first community cosmetics.

Mechanics:

• Melee Rework:
  • Swapped from Area2D to ShapeCast2D for more precision and better control over timings.
  • Melee Aim is now locked during the attack, as well as flipping
  • Enemies get noticeably knocked back now
  • The character get's slowed down during the attack
  • The character get's boosted in the attack direction at the peak of the attack animation. This can be used to achieve great heights, especially if combined with the double-jump
  • Reworked all current melee weapon animations. Now they feel more powerful and exaggerated.
  • Attacks now happen in sequence (before if there were multiple attack animations for an attack type they would be chosen at random).
  • Changed attack types to be more consistent. LMB - Light and close attack. RMB - Heavy, slow and usually longer ranged attack.
  • Changed visuals of the attack/throw trail
  • Fixed the randomization of the attack sound not working
  • Melee Enemies now no longer have fear, they will rush an opponent all the time.
  • Melee Enemies now have chances to continue their attack, to go in a sequence. For example a lower tier pipe enemy has the chance set to low, so he'll usually only do one attack and then wait, while a higher tier knife-wielding enemy will continue his attacks more often.
  • Melee Weapons now have armor penetration parameters for each attack. For example the crowbar has the highest amount of armor pen out of all melee weapons currently.
• Ammo Check System. You can now check how much  ammo you have left in the magazine by holding R, Tarkov style.

Visuals:

• Added a Zoom Out effect when the player is wielding a firearm and it can't shoot/is reloading.
• Implemented an Ambient Occlusion shader made by one and only https://filipex2000.itch.io/. It can be disabled in the settings menu.

Audio:

• Added a sidechain effect that dampens Music and Ambiance volume when hitting an enemy or receiving damage. 

Engine & Editor (for 0.5 people that are going to unpack the game):

One small step for a build, one giant leap for modding in the future

• Changed how Cosmetic Variants load. Now instead of the original cosmetic containing an array of all the variants, the variants themselves contain a path to the og cosmetic. This will allow people to make their own variants of already existing cosmetics while not conflicting with other variants.
• Cosmetic Item Creator. This tool allows you (well currently only me since modding is yet to come) to make all the folders/resources/scenes/empty images/armor stats/preview the cosmetics in different lighting and backgrounds, without even touching the editor itself! Complex cosmetics like the cigarette do require you to use Godot ofc
