Today, let’s start with the most important thing.. literally: WATER.

💧 1. New Water Particle System

Water is the heart of our game, so we rebuilt it from scratch. Now, when water hits a surface, it splashes, creates droplets, and flows realistically. The "satisfaction" level is now much better!

🤎2. Next-Gen PBR Dirt Textures

Say goodbye to simple mud texture that we had on Prologue. We have updated all dirt textures to be PBR (Physically Based Rendering) compliant.

Mud, dust, and grime now look deeper, more realistic, and interact better with light. Cleaning them feels much more rewarding.

🔍 3. X-Ray Mode

It can be frustrating to find that one last spot of dirt. We added a new X-Ray Mode. With one click, you can see exactly where the dirt is hiding.

Stay tuned! We will show you the MORE of the game pretty soon! 🐈
