I have implemented a few new features, but also bugfixes.

BUGFIXES
The audio settings weren't working. It was just a typical beginners mistake and easy to fix. The audio settings are working fine now. I figured out though that the music can not be completely muted by the settings. Currently trying to figure out why!
The dense fog that blocked most of the view is temporarily deactivated. If i can not fix it, i will simply replace it by the local volumetric fog i've made earlier.
The frame rate settings are now correctly going up 30 by each click.
The window mode is now displayed as text, as example: "fullscreen", instead of numbers.
Some audio triggerboxes, which started playing the plot-relevant dialogue, became bugged when i've fixed the audio settings and i was not able to solve the bug. I've replaced them with a different type of triggerbox and node setup.
Instead of pawn sensing, the AI now uses AI Perception.

NEW FEATURES
The smaller outdoor riding arena has temporarily been set up to be used as animation testing area.
New simple rain and snow effects that are appearing randomly over time.
The hut on Dan's Dot got a few collisions and a door, that locks it, until i've set it up for the plot.
The invisible teleporters for development purposes are now marked with a sign, so that you don't accidentally trigger them while playtesting.
The cottages all got doors. Cottage 1, 2, 4 and 5 are locked until i've set them up for the plot, if necessary.
The cottage 3 and Mikhals room has a few pieces of furniture.
New story content: more collectible hoofshoes and dialogue. Other gameplay features are work in progress!
At the northern end of RĂșnavatn (the lake) you'll find a river and a cave entrance. Both are work in progress. At the moment, the river is a bit too shiny, but i'm aware of that. The cave entrance is locked yet, but visible.
A bit of the vegetation has been corrected. There are more deciduous trees in the valleys and less conifers (as in real life).
New vegetation foliage has been added: ferns and tree stumps. Rocks and flat lying dead trees will follow soon.
A small serpentine path now leads up to the panoramic riding arena.
Mikhal is now set up as model for the player character.
Area location notifications: when entering a specific area, you will now see the name of it for a few seconds. It's just for better orientation.
New cursor icon.
____
UPCOMING:
Even more diversity in vegetation (grass, meadow flowers, herbs).
High resolution grass texture for the stable and village.
A small dock for Dan's Dot.
Graveyard rework.
Stable model rework.
Day-Night-Cycle fix.
