Merry Christmas Everyone!
In this update we have added a new level from our future story line and addressed some of the concerns expressed in your feedback. AI behavior has been changed to a persistent A-life system, which we hope to continue expanding on, to replace random spawning of NPCs. Production of NPCs is now resource based and the user has the ability to impact it. We also introduced new shading for trees, plants generation and rendering. The update introduces fixes that reduce level loading time and memory footprint.
In upcoming updates we will continue work on additional story oriented levels enabling them for community testing and continue to work on addressing issues reported by you.
See a full list of changes below.
