  Hey friends, the April update is here! It took a ton of work to get this running but there's finally a new massive island to build the rest of the game on.

Dive speed increased. Tons of manual optimization and a new LOD system to get this island running. Misc physics and wildlife bugfixes and tweaks. Less cluttered main menu.
