1. Entire map conversion - Before the map was broken up into segments that made up one big map but it felt clunky, restricted and actually made no sense since I'm not limited by the size of the map by the engine. It took a while to go back and connect all the maps that had been separated to join them all together to make one big map. Here is the result...
   
   I know the map is quite blank in some areas but it was how the map was initially pictured back when I made the map template >
   
   I will be looking to expand the map once this update is finished.
   
   
2. New map view - Since having the map open, there isn't any need for a map anymore instead you can now use the [M] key to view the map. This will highlight all the NPC's on the map that now walk around, your player and points of interest.
   
   
   
   
3. Walking NPC's - The map felt boring, static and dead with nothing actually moving around. So this was a much needed feature since you can now see all dating candidates walk around the map.
   
   
   
4. More jump spaces - This allows the player to quickly adventure around the map without sticking to the guided path.
   
   
5. Fishing - Improved the fishing system as the last one felt a bit stiff with watching this wave of water. Therefore you now will need to reel your line near a fish and catch it. eliminating the random wave thingy-ma-bob.
   
   
   
6. Swimming?? - Since I've added more jump spaces. I thought wouldn't it be better if the player could enter the water and actually grab the fish.
