Weekly Update #9

This update is mostly about discussing environment layout and timing. Creatures, bioluminescence and vegetation layers are disabled by default (can be reenabled by ingame menu and shortcuts). Because of the emptiness and darkness (torchlight is disabled too) there is a temporarily global light added for better visibility.

It adds also a fogcontroller based on splineposition to get a unique look for every place.
