Mini Patch – Camera Improvements & Optimizations

Hi everyone! After receiving many questions and requests about the camera, I decided to introduce an increased camera tilt in this mini patch. This is still not the final version of the camera or optimization, and I plan to improve it further for the full release. With this update, I wanted to show that your feedback truly matters to me, and that I’m actively acting on it.

Patch v0.621.0 notes:

  • Added “Extended Camera Tilt” option in Video settings. When enabled, the camera can tilt much further. Please note: in very large cities this can currently reduce FPS up to 20%.

  • Added Red and Yellow Flowering Hedges (names are not yet translated in all languages).

  • Fixed multiple shadow issues when switching LODs on many buildings.

  • Numerous optimizations to building, tree, and vegetation models.

  • Removed several options that were not yet implemented.

Over the next period, I’ll focus on polishing the game and finishing the story and side quests. These narrative additions will be released publicly with the full release, planned for a little over two months from now. Combat is also in development, but will likewise remain unreleased until full launch.

Thank you for your continued patience and support, I truly hope we’ll continue this journey together well beyond full release.
