New Loading System:

I've implemented a new system for loading large groups of objects such as trees and bushes, This might increase load times for some players but will significantly reduce crashes and improve overall framerate. I've tested the new system rigorously tested the new system and everything should work fine. If you experience any issues please contact me and I'll try to assist you.

Dev Notes:

I have decided to hold back some content for this update such as food and crafting items as I feel it would fit better in future updates such as the water vehicles or aquatic update.

Players can expect better performance in the new area compared to the old one. I am actively working to improve the performance for Kalahari's End and hope to rework some graphical and gameplay features to further improve how the game runs.

I've got a lot planned for Kalahari's End, Thanks to everyone who has supported the game!

For players who beta tested the update: Please remember to switch back to the normal branch as the experimental branch is not up to date!
