[p]Hello everyone,[/p][p]First of all we wish you all a wonderful 2026. 🖤 We hope the new year treats you well.[/p][p]After our big Holiday Update, the team took a short two-week slowdown. Not a full stop, more like a moment to breathe, play our own game, take notes, and realign our priorities for what comes next.[/p][p]This Friday, we’ll be releasing a small polish update, and we wanted to give you a quick look at what we’ve been working on. 👇[/p][p][/p][p]🛠️ This Week’s Polish Update[/p][p]This update focuses on smoothing some rough edges we identified.[/p][p][/p][p]Localization Fixes[/p]

[p]Combat Improvements (Work in Progress)[/p][p]Although our main combat improvement focused sprint starts next week, we’ve already begun addressing some key issues, especially around bows.[/p][p]We’re currently improving bow targeting so that:[/p]

[p]Arrows no longer fly awkwardly across the screen[/p]
[p]Leading shots feels more intuitive and readable[/p]

[p]This is achieved by attempting to detect a nearby target and using it as a depth cue, making ranged combat feel more controlled and satisfying. More on this very soon.[/p][p][/p][p]Seasonal Preparations[/p][p]We’ve also started light preparations for:[/p]

[p]Valentine’s Day[/p]
