Repeated intro

Hello Everyone! After several long months of hard work, the latest update for The Fifth Day is finally here! I would like to thank everybody for their patience during this update cycle; many hours have been put in redesigning some of the games core systems and framework for future releases. In addition to a new, more user friendly GUI design, the new update features exciting features such as weapon and item crafting, physics based construction, and a complete remodeling and redesigning of almost all of the old inventory. While I was not able to attend to all of the desired fixes for this update, I am releasing the stable build 0.0.6 in hopes of adding on additional content and models in smaller weekly patches over the next few weeks. At the same time, I will be working on major patches, such as AI improvements, level design, etc. in the background in order to deliver a more steady stream of content updates. See a full list of changes below:

See a full list of changes below:
addedAdded complete UI overhaul: After receiving much feedback about the inflexibility in everything from changing weapons to switching between menus, I have completely redesigned the interface for easier and more comprehensive navigation.
addedAdded statistics break-down for all tools and items: Going along side with the UI overhaul, you will now be able to see descriptive statistics about every item, weapon, and tool you find in the world. This means no more guessing what the weight of that item you found was, or how accurate a certain weapon is.
addedAdded craftable tools and weapons: Combine resources found in the wastes to craft items, weapons, and tools as you see fit.
addedAdded procedural weapon generation: Given the flexibility of the new loot system, you can now find, dismantle and recombine procedural generated weapons and items into new inventory.
addedAdded total arsenal overhaul: With the introduction of the new inventory, I have also introduced a huge selection of new loot and items that are designed with a more worn feel reflected through item quality grade.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the complexity of the new changes and feature implementations, old saves from versions before 0.0.6 will no longer be supported.
