This general update introduces item hotkeys which allow for quick use/activation of the first 4 items in the player’s inventory. Items can now also be moved to different inventory slots by dragging and dropping while in the inventory menu. Additionally, a shader has been added to the lighting system to produce softer edges/shadows around light sources. This is enabled by default but can be toggled in the settings menu.
