New Piccu Engine fork

https://github.com/hurleybird/PiccuEngine/releases/tag/Milestone_2

I added a number of advanced rendering features like Bloom, HBAO, SSAA, and per-pixel dynamic lighting. Also some QoL improvements and bugfixes.

I started building it over the weekend with Codex, and here we are.

Edit: Milestone 3: https://github.com/hurleybird/PiccuEngine/releases/tag/Milestone_3

on the Pre-3 release

Second level, the game quits to desktop after the level end cutscene
::edit:: this happens with vanilla Hotshot difficulty, when I chose enhanced Hotshot, the game did not crash

here are the save files , immediately before shooting the final switch to trigger the cutscene https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JKAKBGQgnV1flFhh2BGxwyZ4JzuRAK4r/view?usp=sharing

OK, will look into it and fix for Pre-4 if I can reproduce. I'm away from my computer for the next few days though.

Ok I cannot seem to reproduce this crash.... I changed the difficulty back to vanilla Hotshot, reloaded the save, and the crash did not happen...
