Update v0.8.10

In parallel with polishing, we are already working on the development of a new sector with a continuation of the storyline.
But for now, here are tiny fixes with camera and culling, fixes smoke on vacuum cleaners, and crosshair now matches weapon type.
Gamepad controller changes:

AUTO AIM is reworked, it's more precise and also it aims to prediction of enemy movement.
Sliders in the interface are now controlled by RStick, instead of A/B.
That's why customization character rotation moved to LT RT.
Hiding cursor while its gamepad input.

I don't have much experience playing with a gamepad in this genre, but I was able to complete the game using one during testing. I'm more comfortable using a mouse and keyboard, so I'd appreciate any feedback on any control issues with the gamepad.

Tiny update

easier control of large terminals, and their signatures are now more understandable.
Increased basic sprint speed.
Auto-aim power for gamepads reduced. Not sure what is considered standard, so we will adjust as we go.
Increased base damage from missiles.
Additional code optimization.
Fixed problem with stairs.

EA Release day!

After years of development, and hundreds of small fixes in the last few weeks, I'm happy to introduce you to AI Olympius. There is still a long way to go, but I am glad to be able to walk it with you.
