v2.1.0

What's Changed

• As an experiment: 8 Photo Billboards spread out over the area and time that will appear if you come close enough. All photo's come from the Beeldbank of the Amsterdam City Archive. Try to find them all! I have plans to make this much, much bigger in the future - with possibly hundred of pictures placed throughout the neighbourhood.
• Placed a number of detailed 3D-models that were all freely available (thanks to the makers!). Also will hopefully further expand on this in the future. :)
• Several technical and architectural changes (updated Unity, removed dependancy on Substance plugin etc.)

Full Changelog: v2.0.0...v2.1.0
