Perhaps also add lighting. I do whatever to make it looks better. And yes, this should not be a thing for a fully released game. That is my fault for inexperience. This game should have been release as early access. On the other hand, I also plan on adding more localization. The updated localization is done by hand by the way. However, as I don't have enough knowledge in other language for translation. I may need the help of others or some software.
