🗓️Latest News on AI Update


Last month, we announced the AI improvement update for November, as you can also see on the whiteboard in the game. While we are happy with how it turned out for the first part, we have learned from our previous important updates, and we feel like there is still room for improvement.It's a huge rework considering all the AI systems, animations, and little details - we want to get it right.


After careful consideration, we now expect the first part of the AI update in December. We know that you are really excited for this one, and we want this update to live up to your hype!


Thanks a lot, and we'll see you soon!
