Valmora Devlog - New faces and improvments

Hi everyone!

The character rework is starting to reach Valmora's player character and followers.
Alongside it, our latest optimization work has delivered a 38% performance improvement.

Character rework — work in progress.

More than a new look

New hairstyles, new outfits, and character variations with ears, tails, wings and horns are part of the rework.

A livelier village

We're also working on character routines to bring more everyday activity to the village.
The supporter post includes a short clip of the current progress.

Better performance

The optimization work covers the characters, NPC management across the map, and the lighting, shadows and sky systems.

Block without the zoom

Blocking no longer enters the aiming view or zooms the camera in.
Blocking works as before, while leaving you with a wider view of your surroundings.

Also fixed:

• The goblin cave chest dropping too many items.

• Followers failing to crouch while following the player.

• Missing feedback when pressing Z to recall a mount with no active mount available.
