Bug fix

A few major fixes. More choreo polish. German narrative translation v1.

FIXES:

-Fixed the NPC vision trace line checks against the player. They were always off. The players collision radius and center are properly calculated for both VR and 2D now.
-Fixed NPCs being able to see the VR player almost always because of a bloated render bounds on the arms skeleton. (The above fix solves this)
-Fixed two package build errors in rooms and scripted sequences related to editor only components
-now controlling when to cache shaders on mobile platforms so the consortium loading dial comes up sooner
-spaced out some IO operations at boot so they don't slow eachother down all running at once (speech to life, shader cache, save and config)

Virtual Trainer Editor:
-Fix for toolbar not showing all elements in VR


IMPROVEMENTS:

-Experimental German translation of entire narrative. (NPC and player dialog only currently). V.O.I.C.E. supported but as of this release remains virtually untested. If you speak German, give it a go and kindly pop in and let us know how well it works for you on our Discord server?

-The entire potential “in person” Kiril confrontation in the Hangar Bay has been given a final expression and eye choreography improvement pass.

-The ensemble “brig convo” near the end has started receiving final choreography polish pass. Developing…

-The final conversation choices improvement pass for the entire narrative has been completed.

But you alone must drive it...

This week doesn't have a code update for FUNG, since we don't need any more code changes to complete CHAPTER 2. But fret not, we are still hard at work on completing the chapter. To make up for this, we have some updates to Drift King (available on itch.io)! Unfortunately, the new AI that was the bulk of work this week is not yet in a good enough state to release. But we do have a new clip replay system, and some improvements to the overworld!

For those that don't care for Drift King, I have a sneak peek for you, a closeup of the facility post the initiation of the COLLAPSE PROTOCOL. It appears that the building and even a part of the road has fallen down here, deep under the ground.
