addedEarly Access Patch 1.1.0The game’s 1.1.0 patch was looking like a big one, so I’ve decided to release it in two parts! This first half includes the new map I talked about in my previous update posts, as well as a number of other new additions. The map isn’t completely finished (some locations may look a little empty of decorative meshes or even buildings) but it’s 100% playable! Your early feedback will help shape the map further.
addedEarly Access Patch 1.1.0In the last few weeks, I also spent a lot of time optimizing the game’s textures and meshes. This has resulted in a much lower overall install size (accounting for the increase the new map would’ve had on the old install size) without a noticeable difference in quality!
