• Set-up keyframes in quickdraw animations - now awaiting new sounds to be designed and added
• Reorganised VCA routing in FMOD so that ground gibs (tables etc.) have a small amount of reverb added to them (room sounds will have reverb, character sounds will be dry by comparison - gives seperation and sense of immersion)
