This is a large-scale update of a technical direction. In my opinion, this game is a mirror of reality. The clearer image reflected by the smoother mirror is more likely to help players immerse in the world in this mirror. This requires strong architecture and stable game system to support. The focus of this version is to greatly reconstruct the basic system of the game, optimize functions, reduce redundancy and waste, and reasonably decouple some visual effects and logic, all these efforts make the game more robust.
