This update improves the game in a wide array of areas like audio, visuals, performance, QOL, balance, bug fixes etc.

Updated sound
All the sounds created for the game has now been moved over to FMOD. This gives us better control over various parameters like pitch and volume, as well as some additional in-engine audio effects. It also makes it easier to work with spatialisation and 3D sounds. It's still early on when it comes to implementing sound effects and music in FMOD, and we expect that there's still a lot of room for improvements. Nonetheless, we've made some improvements in this build, and we're looking forward to hear your feedback on this.

Updated music
As part of integrating our project with FMOD, we've started to create a music system that takes bits and pieces of the original gameplay track, and spaces them out and randomises them. We have composed additional bits as well to fill out the sound track further. More testing remains, but the goal is to provide a nice musical backdrop to the gameplay, while giving the player some breaks in the music as well. By randomising the music, it should make sure that the same bits don’t get played over and over again, in addition to spreading them out fairly evenly.

Moving forward, we will explore dynamic music systems as well, in order to have the music respond to the game state, like if you are in battle or not, if you are starving or not, and so on.

Updated buildings art
All buildings are (at least that's what we have attempted to achieve) more in line with the ancient civilization that it's meant to represent: Babylon during the Middle and Late Bronze Ages. The general style and level of detail has been leveled up.

Unit changes
Heavy Axeman replaces Axeman, and Light Axeman replaces Light Spearman. These units come with new looks and animations, and they're inspired by weapons recorded from the era of Old Babylonia. Swordsman has been given a visual update, with skin pads, bracelet and different helmet. Javelinman now correctly is shown carrying small shield. We've also made several balance changes.

Updated food production art
The modern clean-cut Berry Bush has been replaced by Fruit Tree. The fruit tree is inspired by pomegranate, which was native in the game's setting. Farm crops no longer look like mini berry bushes, but are inspired by another native food plant, chickpea.

Windowed display mode
This was a community request. You can now switch between fullscreen and windowed display modes in settings in main menu and in-game settings.

Zoom in and out button
This was another community request. You can now zoom out further by finding the zoom button above and to the right of the mini map.

Other QOL improvements
These were also community requests. You can hold SHIFT to add or remove individual units from current selected group of units, toggle through and select multiple idle villagers, or deselect units from multiple selected units panel. Also, villagers automatically find other buildings that are under construction after finishing constructing a building.

Performance optimisations
We have optimised for when large groups want to pass each other, leading to more stable frame-rates in these cases.

Analytics opt-in
We enabled analytics that you must opt in or out of at first game init. We also added enable, disable and delete data (for Windows and macOS users only, since on Linux personified data gets deleted straight away automatically) buttons in settings. 

Analytics will greatly help us get an understanding of our player base and what we need to work on.

Updated menus
All menus have been updated, with slightly updated looks, settings, how to play pages, and new social media buttons.

Bug fixes
As always, we're working hard on fixing bugs, since we want the game to feel close to 100% playable, even if the game is still in early development.
