Heat - 0.2.1.4 Milestone - Lights, Tails, Locomotion!

With Atlas done and art assets for glory holes on the way I've had some time to work on fun and quality of life features! 

First you'll notice I updated the room and redid the lighting in the room after many hours of trial and error, and it should look much more cozy now. There's also now a light switch if you like it better with the lights off~ ;)

The characters also now have tail physics! A much requested feature that I wasn't too excited about before, but now that I've tried it, it's actually really cool!

I've also added smooth locomotion, a much requested feature. Just move with the left stick and the right stick controls are as normal. You may need to reset your controller bindings in SteamVR to developer defaults with 'Heat 0.2.1.3' in the title for it to work . I don't know under what circumstances SteamVR doesn't update the default bindings, so keep an eye out if your smooth locomotion isn't working. WMR users please let me know if the default bindings work for you! You can also use this binding menu to change which hand controls the movement (along with the rest of the game's controls).

Apart from that are a whole bunch of fixes and some optimizations for your framerate pleasure.

This milestone is coming a bit sooner than usual as we'll be winding down for the holidays!(although we'll probably still end up working xP). We wish everyone the best of holidays and we hope you have a fantastic years end! Thank you for supporting Heat! You make this project possible :)

Known Issues

• Laser might not register with UI sometimes, possible fixes are: Game restart, by setting the game window to focus by clicking on it, or by alt-tabbing (let me know if this still happens, I may have fixed it)
• You can get boneitis if both hands rub something at once just for the first time. To fix this just move both hands away from the character for a bit and it should stop happening
• Closing a menu during the transition when you get past the auth might break the menu, requiring a game restart
