Update Announcement May 13

Foreword

After a week of troubleshooting, we are excited to push the latest version live. Some of the high priority problems reported by players in the past week have mostly been fixed in this update.

When the update is complete, you should be able to have a feeling that our game runs much more smoother than before, because we have repaired and refactored a lot of logic in memory management and usage. At the same time, we adjust parameter of several parts which are frequently used to optimize the buoyancy performance. The remaining mparts will be adjusted after fully tested, and will be updated sequently.

At present, we have fixed most of the problems that can be reproduced and located. We have recorded the feedback of some bizarre bugs (such as system compatibility, hardware, etc.), but since there is no other relevant information, we can only rely on our teamates to manually investigate them. But don't worry, any issues we've promised to fix will eventually be resolved.

The focus of the next update will gradually shift to the optimization and iteration of the game experience. We will solve the camera control, construction feel, custom buttons, adsorption and other problems that comes from our players feedback when the game is launched.

Thanks again to all the players who gave us suggestions and support in the past two weeks!
