Item Marking System
Players  are now able to mark collectable items in a certain range. Items are meant to be visible through walls, however, this has not been implemented as the two possible ways to do this no longer work in the Lightweight Render Pipeline (Unitys new rendering engine).  I will need to find another way to perform this effect.

Defining Ship Locations
Created a system to define a ship location and tell the player once it's complete.

Purchasing Upgrades.
Along with the purchasing mechanics I updated the UI interface of the shop to make it easier to understand. 

here are a couple of progress pictures on the game world that we have been working on.

this is the dock that leads up to the shop the players boat can be found here and parked here when visiting the island.
