• Abysmal Patch - 16 May 2026

  Resized and rescaled over 150 background images from a 1920x1080 size to a 480x270 pixel size image which reduces the file size of these images and allows for more optimal loading. I manually rescaled the images to the appropriated size in engine over 150 scenes in question. There is no loss of quality of the image because of the pixel perfect Dpi awareness already implemented in this game.
