v0.7.8.5 - Cinema 1

It has taken much time and many new systems for handling larger isometric environments, but today I can finally unveil the first half of the Cinema.

Steam post image (Don't worry, it's not all in black & white.)

Normally the Cinema environment shouldn't unlock until later in the game, but I've decided to make it accessible from Chapter 2 while the game is in Early Access, so you can experience the full contenty goodness more easily.

It's still missing a few planned refinements, but first I need to recover from the late nights I've been putting in to meet my own arbitrary deadline. That's just how we roll around here -- when we make promises, we keep 'em.

Thus we continue to grind a little bit closer to 1.0 every month.

Full list of changes included below as is traditional. Let me know if you run into any issues and I will fix them -- if there is a bug in the game, it's only because I don't know about it.

Now I'm going to chill for a bit and then start implementing the exciting second part of the Cinema. See you out there, in the Zone...
