VEIN 0.015 Released

Zombie improvements, new art, quick melee, and moving containers.

We highly recommend starting a new save game with this update, as most furniture with new art will have shuffled around.

In addition, we fixed a bug that would have caused bullet items loaded into firearms to become invalid - which may cause a crash when loading old saves. Sorry about that.
