It is quite impressive at a closer view (and this is the smallest level available, it can be updated, too) and it will be recognized from all over the island, too!

Besides some smaller fixes, we improved our vegetation system and rendering setup a lot, to be able to render buildings and vegetation from far distances without frame rate drops.
In addition, it is now possible to adjust some render details settings to get an adequate frame rate on older machines, too.
This is also the first alpha build which is directly accessible via Steam, more comfort for our alpha backers!

Next, we will integrate the new character models and replace our “placeholder UI” with an adequate one.

In addition, we prepare a more detailed tutorial as we plan to release a Fata Deum for the upcoming Steam festival in February 2021!

Afterwards we will focus on the AI! A lot will happen during the begin of 2021!
Stay tuned!
Cheers
