Hi! Today I want to talk about how a seemingly small detail can completely change the vibe of exploration. We've reimagined the fog of war from the ground up.

Previously, it was just a boring translucent veil. Now, it captures the true aesthetic of an explorer.

🗺️ A Field Map Instead of a Gray Veil We styled the unexplored territories to look like an actual field map. Aged parchment, creases, a neat coordinate grid, and graphite sketches of the lands you haven't visited yet. Scouting now evokes a completely different feeling — you want to uncover new areas just to see how the world is drawn.

⚙️ More FPS on Massive Maps The best part is under the hood. The fog used to be recalculated every frame via shaders, which ate up resources. We moved the entire rendering process to sprites. The result? Zero performance drops, even at maximum map zoom.

🛠️ Full Modding Support For those planning to create mods: we've moved all fog visuals into the [c]fog_theme[/c] parameter. Want your fog to look like an antique nautical chart or a neon grid? Just plug in your custom style, and it works right out of the box.

🎨 A Few More Tweaks Alongside the map, we tidied up our resources: we categorized all atlases and set up a smooth pipeline for generating quest illustrations.

Work is in full swing, and there's a lot more exciting stuff ahead. Thanks for following the development!
