  Update 0.72 - The Even More Optimizations Update-

  https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32574578/fd4e9e6bc6feeee9fe63b9011e2461ea7fc6a02a.png Howdy fellow farmers! Introducing Update 0.72. This update is exclusively about quality of life improvements. The first thing you will notice is a new and revamped Rotation Solution for the camera, it is much more responsive and is no longer vulnerable to becoming unresponsive when the player owns more than 100 chickens. This was a pesky bug that took me awhile to hunt down and couldn't have done it without the help of community members who contributed on the forums and helped diagnose this issue. It should take no time for you to get accustomed to the new custom solution, it is definitely an improvement over the old camera. The Chicken Hive Mind machine learning system will reduce the frequency it has the chickens scan their environment for obstructions by 50% when player possesses more than 80 chickens in order to reduce processor overhead in late game. This comes with a reduction in response time for chickens but it shouldn't impact the chicken's navigational skills as by then they should be decent enough in traversing the corral. Other Minor Tweaks included as well, for example, the camera will no longer clip below ground when zoomed all the way in. Check out the improvements and don't forget to participate on the forums. Cheers!

  Major Performance Optimization - Update 0.71-

  Today, thanks to feedback from the community, I was able to pinpoint several performance degrading issues. After identifying this issues and confirming through heavy CPU and GPU profiling. I then Implemented the following changes: -Removed one of the Landscape's sub shaders that used indiscriminately a World Position Offset solution to create a faux depth for the grass texture at distance. -Changed the deprecated Landscape sub shaders for a more conservative but creative artistic solution (a solution similar to the one used for the dynamic grass). -Improved the Chicken's LODs in over 60% achieving a reduction in chicken polycount now of over 85% -Changed the method for GI and AO to a more conservative solution based on a performance/aspect compromise (in contrast from just aspect). I am super thrilled to report that test benches workstations have an improvement in performance in up to 20fps. Please try the patch yourselves and let me know on the forums how much of an improvement it makes! Cheers!

  Update 0.7 -The Chicken Pageant Update-

  https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32574578/f80e3592afd59f962ae84f87a0cc10e3a9052039.png Howdy Farmers! Today we have achieved a major milestone in Corral’s development. All base features are now available for you! With the Introduction of the Chicken Pageants, main development is now transitioning to expanding already existing features (more chicken breeds, new items and even predators). And of course fixing any bug we find. You can now sign up your chickens to a Pageant Circuit to see who is who inside the Valley. As of today the only circuit available is the White Leghorn Breeder Circuit, this is only as a standard precaution measure; Due to it being a major update that involved heavily modifying the game code. I find it best to release Update 0.7 in smaller compartmentalized patches (so if a major bug or error occurs I can pinpoint and solve it faster). Pageant Circuits will be released in the following calendar: -Ill be releasing the remaining circuits throughout this month, I had specific release dates, but I'll be releasing performance optimization updates also between circuit releases. If everything goes as planned some circuits could be released a lot earlier. Please don’t hesitate to provide feedback or report any bugs you experience, both your opinion and contribution are of the utmost important for Corral. P.D I’ll be posting soon another thread on the forum with a in depth explanation of Pageant Circuits. Stay Tuned! Patch Notes: Update 0.70 -Chicken Pageants now available through the Marketstand menu. -Minor Bug Fixes. Cheers!
