Hey everyone!

Today’s update focuses on camera improvements, performance, and a batch of visual and gameplay fixes to make the experience smoother. I’m now shifting back to expanding the campaign, with new side quests and events coming in the next few days.

• Fixed movement controls in free camera mode when remapping WASD keys.
  
• Added WSAD map movement on the Empire Map.
  
• Reduced memory usage in the later stages of the game by up to 30%.
  
• Optimized rendering of large numbers of models.
  
• Optimized and compressed around a dozen building textures.
  
• Fixed apple trees keeping fruit visible even after leaves fall in autumn.
  
• Fixed honey and mead resources now correctly carried and transported.
  
• Fixed orchard frustum issue, trees disappearing while still in view.
  
• Fixed vineyards vanishing due to frustum culling, adjusted visibility checks for farms.
  
• Fixed Insula III missing wall on the lowest LOD.
  
• Temporarily disabled the health building radius highlight until the health system rework next week.

What’s next
I’ll continue polishing existing issues, spend a bit more time on trade, and add ships visibly docking in the port when they arrive with cargo. After that, one of the bigger changes will be an update to the camera, allowing it to tilt more strongly for those sweeping city views.[/p][p]Later, there will also be several new buildings, including the Circus!
[/p][p]Thank you once again for being part of this journey, your feedback and support make all the difference![/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]
