Update Notes:

All mountain, boulder and tree models have been optimized with LOD (Level of Detail) models and textures that simplify the model in multiple stages when viewed from an increasing distance. This greatly decreases the polygon count and texture resolution of models at any given time with little to no visual quality difference noticeable. Some pop-in may be noticed occasionally. This will continue to be tweaked when the best LOD distance for visual and performance balance is found through play testing.

Ground foliage and various other models have also been optimized.

These LOD optimizations should result in an average improvement of 10-20 fps increase for most users based on testing. Results depend greatly on your specific system.

The main title screen has been visually altered and performance-optimized. The poly count has been greatly decreased and the campfire has been replaced by a ring of standing-stone obelisks. In doing so, an issue with the performance of the campfire was discovered and improved.

Main menu video settings should act and display appropriately through save/load and restarts.

Video setting options have been simplified and tweaked for a better balance of quality and performance.

ESC can now be used to close ALL menus. TAB also closes most menus. The respective key to open a menu will also now close that menu.

The over head map can now be moved with WSAD and will revert to centered over the player's location when reopened.

The Formican model has undergone the first stage of remodeling. Instead of a tail, it now has a large rear abdomen to make it appear more arachnid/insect or... formican, which literally means ant-like . It's limbs are also longer and slightly bulkier.

The speed of standing from and sitting in a chair has been decreased from 2 seconds to 1.5 seconds.

Small stone size has been increased x2

Fixed an issue where a water gourd couldn't be filled while standing next to a well.

Thank you for playing Windstone!

Your play testing, bug reporting and general feedback is much appreciated.
