We've already started going through the list, and this update takes care of a big batch of them. But there are still b

Patch Notes + 2D Assets Upgrade 0.8.282026-08-17There’s been a lot of discussion about AI art in the game, so just to clear things up: Much of the game’s artwork, music, 3D assets, and other creative work has been created in collaboration with artists or hand-picked from platforms such as Canva, Envato, and iStock.
