This build includes photo mode (accessible for now using P on keyboard, hold left special button on gamepad), a new codex (very WIP, accessible from main menu), the start of brand new accessibility options, and a new drone racing minigame! There are also various tweaks, bugfixes, and some general QoL improvements!
