- ROAD TO HOLLOW HILLS 0.91 - 4 February 2024
It's been quite a journey! Over the past few months, we've been experimenting with various aspects. One notable endeavor was attempting to upgrade the engine to Unreal Engine 5. However, this change didn't yield the satisfaction we anticipated. So, we reversed course and continued development with UE4, allowing us to progress much faster.
