We return from a bit of a break in development with a campaign update and an experimental performance improvement.
The old campaign mission text, while serviceable, lacked much in the way or narrative or lore. ThornEel has replaced all the text with something much more evocative.
The performance improvement comes from tweaking the frequency of weapon aiming, a parameter that initially set early 2018. Visually, the change should be barely noticeable, however it is likely to impact balance. Benchmarks indicate that this tweak will result in the best performance seen since at least 2017, if not earlier.
