- Improved Steam Windows performance.
- Widened the quest log a bit.

- Updated Android build to have email/password login. (Thanks Marek!) https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.fantasyonline2.fov4
- Ported audio code to BabylonJS AudioEngineV2. https://doc.babylonjs.com/features/featuresDeepDive/audio/playingSoundsMusic https://babylonjs.medium.com/audio-engine-v2-0196031c30d5
- Updated to BabylonJS 8.7.0 finally after being stuck on 7.43.0 due to engine bugs.
- Upgraded the mobile project from Expo 52 to Expo 53 and wow that broke a lot.
- Added Android edge to edge support.
- New iOS build available. Update to latest via TestFlight https://testflight.apple.com/join/C87yj5vZ
- New Android build available. Uninstall and reinstall via https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.fantasyonline2.fov4
- Mob aggro server code v1 finished. Turned on and working in Pirate Shores - Easy for testing.
- Started setting up https://www.revenuecat.com/ for iOS and Android In-App Purchases.
- Started separating out the code for web, Steam, mobile gem shops as the code is so different. In-App purchase code is always complex and takes quite a bit time of to set up correctly.
- Started work on GameSoundManager class to handle preload/playback of sound effects.
- Added code to preload all the sound effects.
- Added our first sound effect. It's a toggle click in the settings window.
- Ordered a cheap Android phone to test things like parts of authentication that only work on real hardware.
- Moved all the music streaming code to GameSoundManager.
- iOS WebKit only just recently added support for ogg files in iOS 18.4 and our music is ogg, so I converted all the music to mp3 and now it will choose one based on platform.
- Music playback on iPhones fixed! (You music have silent mode off for music to work on iOS right now. Looking into a hack to fix this as it's an iOS bug)
- Music now pauses/resumes when the window visibility changes.
- Fixed a bug where if you background the app on mobile and then go back into it, the game can possibly be in portrait. The game WebView is always forced to landscape now.
- Fixed a bug with the bank window and tabs that slowed down loading.
- Ported the text tab handling code to GUIWindowDynamic.
- Ported the Achievements window to GUIWindowDynamic aka mobile and rewrote the internals to use GUIScrollList.
- Added Achievements window toggle to top right on mobile.
- Added Quests tab to the Achievements window. (Quest achievements will be added in the future)
- Added shop purchase sound effect. (If you hate any sound effects please speak up!)
- Another new Android build is available with some bug fixes. Uninstall and reinstall via https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.fantasyonline2.fov4
- iOS project is currently bugged and only Apple can fix it, so a new iOS build will come once that's fixed.
- Adjusted safe area calcs so the hud pushes more towards the edge of the screen on mobile.
