The rabbit hole we dove into this week concerns gameplay and decorative patterns for major sites. The Raaf Temples and the ‘haunted’ encounter spearheaded these developments and you’ll find they have improved considerably.

Unfortunately, the hole turned out to be quite deep, this left little time to fix bugs. There should be more room for that again next week. We also plan to improve more major sites and encounters and a similar vein. Over time this should improve the quality of the level generation and gameplay overall.

Finally, the two features introduced to reduce ‘loading’ times are no longer experimental. ‘Keep local files in memory’ is now switch on by default, while ‘generate in background’ is switched off.
