🔧 Major VRAM Optimization Update

I've completed a massive texture memory optimization pass across the entire game.

Video memory usage reduced by over 70%

▸ Minimum VRAM: 4 GB (previously unplayable)

What changed:

- Reprocessed and optimized hundreds of textures across UI, weapons, animals, environments, and billboards

- Fixed uncompressed textures that were consuming excessive memory

- Reduced non-streaming memory footprint significantly

What this means for you:

- Significantly less stuttering on mid-range GPUs

- Players with 4 GB VRAM cards (e.g. GTX 1650, GTX 1050 Ti) can now run the game

- Faster texture streaming with fewer pop-ins across all hardware

- Smoother experience overall, especially when encountering multiple animals

If you previously experienced stuttering or refunded due to performance issues, I encourage you to give PROJECT HUNT another try. This update makes a real difference.

Thank you for your patience and continued support. More optimizations and content updates are on the way!
