Fix for performance from last hotfix
Just for some insight on why performance tanked, was making some changes to the navigation system to improve AI walking around and going up stairs.

Fix with this update will/should fix this.

The plan for the next 3 months...
Planned Major Updates:
I have 3 types of major updates I have planned for the next 3 months.
1. Map expansion. Areas around and just below Lawrence Creek will be added. Expect a new town, residential areas, areas or lore and contaminated zones. 2. Expanded items. Items will get rarity levels (to a degree), while a rusty weapon will be worse to use, it wont be terrible, expect longer reload times, worse recoil, etc. As well, this will apply to equipment and possibly consumables in the future. Expect this system to be improved/changed from community feedback! There are around 15+ firearms planned to be added and various melee and equipment items planned. 3. Skill system. Levelling system will tie into this and allow the player to improve their character and unlock new gameplay abilities. One for example, improved vaulting that's faster and you can vault when jumping from a building to another building. You will as well have the usual stats like increased stamina, speed, health and more.
Furthermore, with these updates, expect many small changes to even large changes, from new content to QOL improvements and bug fixes.
Disclaimer These are my personal targets for the next 3 months, some goals may be exceeded and some may not.
Finally, thank you for all the feedback, positive and negative as it's allowing me to make improvements to the game and as well to the continued development of the game!
