CHANGES

- Increased rewards from completing missions
- Increased sound of aircraft in the background of the main menu
- Me262HG III Missiles & cluster bombs now have to be unlocked like the Me262
- Reduced tris by 10% on AI models to increase performance(5% expected at the moment)
- I will continue to do small improvements over the game’s lifetime
- Engine Update to the latest LTS version (Improved editor performance & physics calculations & editor bug fixes)
- This mainly helps me with making and building the game but it should also make the game perform more smoothly
- Lens flare’s in some missions and that should now active

Transition to URP failed as custom shaders that I use wasn’t compatible.
Transition to Silicon also failed as parts of the build required use of DLL files so this prevent Silicon use.

Hey!
This is a rather small patch fixing some minor issues I found during my latest playthrough of the game.

- Fixed some text errors. Some text bubbles showed "[15]". This was used for a plugin the game is no longer utilizing and I simply missed to remove this.

- Minor issue with an NPC blocking players from moving sometime.

- Some other minor tweaks.

Huge thanks for all the positive feedback I got!
I am planning to create a Yoni dating simulator game at some point. The relationship between Letha and Yoni is the most praised thing about the game, and I really like Yoni as a character, so I would like to develop her further with more dialogue images, interactions and so on, which may also be used for Trials of Proelium further down the line. More updates about this will come in the future!

Have a cheeseful day!
