Hello Draconians!

With this patch, we will begin testing the first part of our new movement system!
Here are a few things you need to know:
- The new movement system is still a work in progress!!
- It is currently only implemented for the Wyvern, all other characters still use the old movement system. *Wyvern supremacy intensifies*
- Movement speed, turn rates, and other variables have not been adjusted yet and do not represent the final values.
- We are running this test to see if the new movement causes any major issues in a multiplayer environment that we may not have encountered on our end. (Yes, we even checked the inside of our machines for big bugs!)
- There are new ways to move: moving backwards, turning in place, and gliding. Braking, dashing, and dodging will be added later.
- To enter gliding mode, press G while flying. To switch from gliding to flying, simply press F.
While gliding, you will slowly lose elevation over time. Gliding is not only an alternative way to travel, but will also become an important part of stamina management later in development. Until then, enjoy circling above your victims like seagulls targeting the snacks of clueless tourists!
- Some turn-in-place animations are still a work in progress or have not been added yet, but you are still able to speeEEeeeEEeen.
- There is currently only one flight speed level. Don’t worry, your Shift key isn’t broken! Acceleration will return later, but it will work differently than it did in the old movement system.
- Visual effects such as speed lines, FOV changes, and post-processing effects will be added later. But if you really need visual effects, just ask a friendly glass dealer for help. (You know who you are!)
- The new movement system will not use any stamina for the duration of the test. *Insert "Unlimited Power" meme here*
- Head turning has been completely refactored and now only activates when a target is selected or when ALT is held.
- There is currently no hit damage, SFX, or other feedback when flying into objects - only hit reflection, which bounces your character off the object you collided with.
