Greetings, it's been awhile hasn't it? The last update was on October 7th, which added post-processing, a Halloween mode, and other random stuff.

I was supposed to update this in late May/early June and then again in October, but clearly that didn’t happen now did it? This update is larger than the past two and contains an across-the-board feature list. In fact, that is why even the patch notes had to be presented in this manner, as there is just too much! Let’s run by them, shall we?
