New Features
Friends system with Steam and Nakama integration — add friends, see their status (online, in-game, in-lobby), and invite them directly to games.
Beautiful Shadows toggle in Graphics settings for the new lighting pipeline.
Game end screen redesign with full-screen overlay, financial graphs (revenue, expenses, company value, profit, debt), per-resource production tables, and complete player leaderboard ranked by company value.
Spectate mode for eliminated players — watch the rest of the game without access to building, demolishing, or sabotage menus.
Expanded lobby hosting and connection flow with signal-driven status updates.
Improvements
Host migration now elects a new host automatically when the current host disconnects, with high priority notifications.
Host disconnection detection prevents players from getting stuck in zombie states.
Reconnect prompt now validates against live Nakama matches to prevent connecting to dead lobbies.
All players can now see every player's sync status, not just the host.
Building stats rebalanced for better economy flow.
Dynamic map viewport bounds computed from terrain for better rendering efficiency.
Notification panel enhanced for better event visibility.
Per-transaction price sync rate limited to prevent network flooding.
Building state flushes capped to prevent burst RPC traffic.
Stock broadcasts batched for smoother network performance.
AI will buy/sell stocks slightly more realistically, they won't just go for the cheapest company, they will invest in companies that are doing slightly better so they can benefit from dividends.
Updated the main menu background image.
