Version 8 includes new death animations for all monsters (except the little acid bugs) and Player Character got a new Cat Combat Armor Suit and can do a melee attack any time with the Power Meow button. There's new models and polishing for some of the weapons. Specular/normal maps were removed due to them looking too often like molten plastic.
