changedWish #23 - The Ninja BossFind the King Moustache, fight the beast like a ninja, and when it falls - the king will heal your hearing. Sound design kicks in. Music starts playing. The game literally wakes up.
changedPerformance improvementsWe spent a lot of time under the hood making the game run better:
changedPerformance improvementsBetter FPS - We reworked how the game decides what to render. If you can't see it, it doesn't get drawn anymore. Shadows now stop at 200m instead of 2800m - turns out you don't need shadows on things 3 kilometers away.
changedPerformance improvementsModel optimization - Some models (looking at you, capybaras) were way too detailed for their size. They've been optimized without changing how they look.
changedPerformance improvementsSmoother loading - Loading screens now properly show your progress percentage instead of just saying "LOADING" forever.

Wish #23 - The Ninja Boss

Someone wished for a boss whose defeat would bring sound design and music to the game. So we built one.

Find the King Moustache, fight the beast like a ninja, and when it falls - the king will heal your hearing. Sound design kicks in. Music starts playing. The game literally wakes up.

We won't spoil where or how. Just know: the silence has a reason now.
