Hey everyone, 

Here is the progress:

• the cinematic sequences are all set up with their triggers that will start only once when player trips them so that the story will work,

• added a lot of game play mechanics including crouching and sprinting which is found in most games, 
  added head bobble, remapped all keys so that I can implement a user selected key selection per action if I want to,

• added a flashlight and flashlight IES for dark areas,
• added highlighting objects around usableobjects,
• imported grandparent characters with three LOD groups including LOD material instanced for better memory usage as I was breaking the streaming pool size before,
• integrated blueprints for better casting when called and triggered, set dressed the house a little more, 
  missing quite a few small things but layout is final, outdoor laundry/toilet as was common in 1980 farmhouses is populated albiet with bad scaling,
• particle effects added for the barn atmosphere,
• day night cycle added for the sky,
• and a butt tonne of other stuff I forgot to mention!

I will mainly be working on the research paper this weekend so I will be working at home where it is a bit better to write an essay.
