Hey Survivors,
We’ve just released [b]update Alpha 0.0.2.320[/b], marking an important step forward for [b]Rooted[/b]. While this update focuses mostly on what happens under the hood, it brings key improvements that will shape the future of the game.
[b]Performance and Stability Improvements[/b]
Our main focus has been on [b]performance and stability[/b]. CPU optimization now brings smoother framerates and faster world streaming, while GPU optimization remains an ongoing task for the next updates.
These improvements might not all be visible yet, but they form the foundation for the content and systems we’re building next.
[b]New Character Additions[/b]
This version also introduces something many of you have been asking for: the arrival of the [b]first female characters[/b]. It’s an important milestone for the team and a big step toward deeper customization and immersion.
[b]Core System Upgrades[/b]
Beyond visual improvements, several key systems have evolved to make Rooted more stable and scalable: • Integration of [b]Mutable[/b], allowing more dynamic and detailed character customization. • A gradual move from [b]Blueprint to C++[/b], improving performance, reliability, and flexibility. • Broader use of [b]GAS (Gameplay Ability System)[/b], enhancing abilities, effects, and AI behavior.
These upgrades will make future updates easier to build upon and open the door to richer gameplay interactions.
