Hello warriors! A new update is now live on the default branch bringing engine stability, visual fixes, and smoother combat:

• Terrain & Loading: Resolved a stage-loading issue with terrain heightmaps, ensuring cleaner transitions between levels.
• Lighting & Shaders: Updated weather and cloud shaders to modern GPU standards (Shader Model 3.5), eliminating visual glitches and artifacting on modern graphics cards.
• Combat & AI Animations: Added fallback handlers for enemy heavy attack and spear animations to ensure fluid combat sequences without dropped frames.
• Engine Stability: Hardened navigation velocity calculations during intense multi-enemy encounters.
• Telemetry & Analytics: Integrated lightweight analytics to monitor combat balance, difficulty curves, and player progression in real time with zero performance overhead.
