Alpha v6.0 Plans and the Project's Future
Added 2025-08-24 15:14:33 +0000 UTCI got some good news, neutral news, and unfortunate news.
Let's start with the good news. I have been hard at work optimizing the game's performance. If you want to read the nerdy details, check out the pastebin. To summarize the details, I have gotten from ~70fps to ~100fps on my particular test spot in the Dawn level... so far. I'm not done with improvements and I hope to get it a bit higher.

Now with the neutral news, I do not have a good estimate for this update's release date yet. Besides a gts footwear selected + behaviour adjuster, I do not plan on adding any new content for this optimization update. However, in order to reduce the number of buildings and improve performance, I may add some new tiles and village props to replace the buildings. The update may be done at the end of this month or sometime next month, I cannot say.
To go along with the neutral news, the VR mode is still being looked at. No estimate or guarantees yet, but know that we are still looking into it.
The unfortunate news, starting next month I will become busy with life again. I will become half as productive as I am now. After Alpha v6.0, updates will come out every month or every two months. I do apologize.
The twins are unaffected. They are being commissioned currently so even while I'm busy, they will still be worked on.

I had it in my membership message when I joined, but it bears repeating: Keep up the high quality work. This game is so much more unique than other GTS games where size is just a number that increases your attack damage.
