This change allowed us to improve graphics, better optimize the game, upgrade backed tools & more. A good example of this are our new awesome track highlights. Not only are they much nicer looking, they also render over vegetation and show the direction of the tracks as well. This makes tracking animals much easier and better experience. We also improved the tutorial and cut a lot of its playtime.

We also improved the tutorial and cut a lot of its playtime.
