Soooo... I've increased the max number of squirrels spawned at once to 150 in single player. Multiplayer is yet to be tested with this many squirrels...
Bringing back the day / night...
The random tIme of day + fog systems have been re-activated!
Huge Weapons Update:
- REPLACED: scope system (still working on it!)
- UPDATED: all weapons now use projectiles... needs some tuning but seriously satisfying

Shooting from the hip in 1st person no longer has cross-hairs visible. This opened up the awareness factor of one's surroundings while keeping immersion and realism. 3rd person gameplay perspective is not affected.

- GAMEPLAY: Brethren squirrels drop QUAD power ups
