• Added beam stress & deform debug that will help content creators a lot (video)
  
• Improved jbeam collision debug visuals - you can now see the direction of coltris much better in order to fix problems (orange being the underside)
  (video)
  
• AI control app added - App to control the more advanced AI (WIP)
