Hello Everyone 😊,

This build focuses on making the game more fun, more interactive, and more immersive. Players who have followed the development of Era will be able to notice differences in almost all facets of the game. From small subtle changes like how the clouds blend in with the sky, to bigger changes like the new trees and new main menu, this build aims to show Era of Survival at its very best.

I will be close by whilst I immediately start on the new build, to spot any problems (if any arises) from this build and will even post another small update with fixes before the next release. I have tested this build myself and involved others and monitored them playing until I see nothing wrong anymore. What I can guarantee you, is that there are no bugs in the game that will stop you from playing until you fall over.

I really hope this build wows those who have stuck by development all this time. The following changelog will show my dedication and commitment to my project and to those who have supported me and the game so far, as promised and as will continue hence forth.
