removedTo improve performance and reduce low FPS, I’ve removed most visual effects from the game. I’ve also optimized several room instances—some of them now remain inactive (“sleeping”) until the player reaches them, which helps save resources.
changedGameplay improvements:
changedImproved collision with Red Kidney Beans and Mawkey, making them easier to collect.
addedAdded a big sign in Merendón Hills — can you find it?
changedThe only remaining visual effect is the dizzy effect in Copán Ruinas, so players with older PCs may still experience some lag in that area. If you continue to have performance issues, please let me know on Discord: 👉 https://discord.gg/UTUm6s5bfV
changedI hope these lower graphics settings don’t negatively impact your experience. I’m making these changes because many players don’t have high-end PCs, and I want everyone to be able to enjoy the game.

Thank you so much for playing Mawkey! We’ve also reached 100 copies sold, which is incredible. I’m deeply grateful to all of you—thanks to your support, we’re able to help animal shelters.

— Thank you for being part of this journey.
