Fast Render option has been completely remade using WebGL and applied to all players. In case of a trouble, you can disengage this new option in Settings - “GPUrender” or try to update the video card drivers.
The tick for full-screen mode is back to Settings.
All textures of the world map have been redrawn for the new map rendering.
Thus, performance will be markedly better now!
We are looking forward to your feedback on the new map rendering.
Fighting modified
The target hitting algorithm has been improved and is now self-explanatory: if the attack radius overlaps the target hitting range, the attack will be performed.
Settings now have a tick for Autoattack which is active by default. As you press the attack button, you'll see the attack radius; to hit it, just click on the desired area.
If you have Autoattack active, the attack will be performed immediately wherever the cursor is.
We have re-examined the attack impact area for each monster. You will feel more comfortable fighting with monsters.
Global instance: Rift
We have added the new instance: Rift occurs every two hours at the 3rd level of the dungeons. The map will show its location to everyone. Any player may get inside the Rift even if there's someone else there. Please mind that the Rift hosts the most powerful monsters. Players may build teams to mop-up the Rift and other teams.
The future patches will add more levels to Rift varying in complexity, with a final boss and better rewards.

[Soon] Performance improvements
Greetings.
We are about to make the next patch ready. To release it, we've tackled quite challenging tasks done a lot of work. We had to readjust many things to ensure that the new WebGL-based map rendering could be applied universally.
For this purpose we created new textures for the map, including the transition tiles, which makes 13 surface types and 8 floor types.
The outcome of our efforts will guarantee a significant performance improvement, even in full screen mode!
The patch is expected at the end of this week for you to experience better fighting and not only fighting.
Patch 0.36 - Fast Render
Fast Render mode has been fully modified (in Settings).
Map rendering is now based on WebGL. This enhances the performance as it engages GPU.
The thing is that about half FPS load was from the world surface rendering. For the new generation mode, we have modified the code and redrawn the textures at a different angle, but without transition tiles for now. Now the performance will be way better even in fullscreen mode (*fullscreen to chat).
Please activate Fast Render mode in Settings and give us your feedback in the forum.
When the new map rendering is ready, along with the textures, this method will be the main one, so you won’t have to activate Fast Render mode.
The option to remove items from optional panels by Ctrl+click has been added.
Application of different scrolls from an optional panel has been corrected.
Generator implementation has been made more complex. Generator takes into consideration the context, e.g. it does not place large objects in narrow passages. Decor will now be spawned adequately; the number of ore veins, blocks and mushrooms has increased.
Memory leak attributable to bags has been adjusted.
Partial translation to Chinese has been added. Translation is still in progress.
Collector has been updated to solve the issue of starting the game in certain cases. It will also help to handle the situations where it's impossible to restart the game.
Pocket version of dynamite has been added. Its explosion yield and blast range has increased 4-fold. Damage will vary from 1-fold to 2.5-fold according to quality.
If a tile is undiggable, dynamite will make it diggable.
A diggable tile will be made passable. Within a half of explosion radius, dynamite will explode twice (applies to the landscape only).
- After sawing of logs, boards will be piled into inventory.

Summary and Future Plans
Greetings from our team! We have been through a step-by-step process of updating all the media for the game, including arts, screenshots, videos and website. It took us quite a long time but we managed to finish before the week discount started. We are so thankful to you for your help in translation of the game. Your contributions and efforts are extremely important to us.
We did not expect the Server in Japan to be so strongly sought for. Salute to our new players!
Sadly, the week discount did not affect the online coverage of the server in Europe as we lacked translation to the European languages. There is no server-to-server transfer of characters at the moment due to grave technical and administrative reasons.
We are working on the translation and will keep on expanding our European audience.
Very soon we'll introduce new achievements to the game and integrate those with Steam. A new patch is on its way, with new images and items.
