First of all, thank you to everyone who has played, purchased, or reviewed the game so far. This is my first large scale game as an indie developer and I sincerely appreciate all of you for your support!

HUD Rework
The player HUD has been reoraganized and simplified.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overworld Revamp
The overworld is being completely remade from the ground up utilizing the UE5 world-partition system, enabling much better performance!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Object Interfacing versus Casting
In earlier versions of the game, actors utilized what is called 'casting' to communicate with each other and do things in the world. If you are experienced with coding in UE5, you know what this means in terms of both game performance and the effort required to change and scale this up in a large game - the facepalm you just did is completely justified. Version 0.3 has fundamentally changed the way actors communicate with each other using interfaces instead.
TLDR: Game more good for PC memory and FPS
