0.3.9. - Finished new AI with routes, code optimizations & much more!

0.3.9. changelog

In this update, I focusing on some „gamebreaking” issues, like screen-freezing, not working LAN mode, etc.

In this update I fix bugs, which is not gamebraking, but annyoning, weird, etc.

I hope this version of Poly Story will run better for everyone and will be more enjoyable!

Also, this update introduces some exciting new things: new AI with routes (one of my favourite things) and a brand new kind of optimization (for me), the code optimization.

This code optimization is very little, but every little optimization is make sense.

Also, the Arcade mode got some new and more optimizations: now the ocean’s size (and the sand’s size) is now smaller.

Enjoy!
