    Improvements on the way

    We are working on improving the art in several ways. We optimized the foliage of the game. We also improved the cotton assets making it look more like cotton. We added in new house assets and a new whipping scene. We also added volumetric fog and fixed the lighting in the levels. These changes allow the game to feel more alive and makes the game look prettier.
