The main theme of this update was global game optimization. All the knowledge and experience that I have at the moment was applied, but unfortunately the results were not revolutionary. Tests on various configurations show performance improvement from + 20% to + 100%. I am not happy with these results, as I expected the best result, but I gained a lot of experience and know in which direction to work further. In addition to optimization, I was not satisfied with the look of nature and especially water, a lot of work was also done in this direction.
