Hey everyone,
in the last few weeks there were so many updates that we didn't really get to write any "weekly reports", but we always planned to write these so from now on you can expect them once a week.
Update 8 with the compass was released a week ago. After that we've worked on a major world loading optimization that will speed up loading existing parts of the world by more than 10000%.
This is a very significant change in the code, and beta 9.0 was released in the beta branch on sunday, available for beta testers in the official discord server. A few bugs were found, some of them fixed in the beta 9.1 that was released yesterday. Once all remaining issues with the new loading are fixed, it will be released as Update 9 (should be in the next 1-3 days).
After that, you can expect to see some new content!
That's all for now. If you have any feedback about anything, please make us aware of it in the steam forums or on discord :)
