Engine & Rendering Update

Hello Hunters!
[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]We have a new update for you! In this one we have updated the game engine and rendering pipeline to a new one. 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.[/p][p][/p][p]In case the new update brings issues, the previous version is accessible from Steam’s beta system as “1.0 - Full Release Version”.[/p][p][/p][p] Let us know what you think and happy hunting![/p][p]
