The gnomes
The gnomes at the lake do have something in mind—but what? The first week, they traveled by boat, then they wandered across the ice lake, and now they have started constructing something. We'll see where this story goes!
Quality of Life changes
Minimap changes
The minimap design has been updated! In previous versions, the minimap was an auto-generated image, but now it's a fixed PNG that supports alpha values. This change makes the minimap have a smoother edge because the entire ocean isn't rendered.
Updated time of day
In v2.01, the time was always night to enhance the winter feeling. However, this made it harder to see some things, and the overall brightness was very dark. In v2.10, we have changed the time so that now it is always day, allowing you to easily see where you are navigating and ensuring you don't miss any little secrets!
Lumen support
Island Zero now supports Lumen! Lumen global illumination makes lighting more realistic (in most cases), and with Christmas around the corner, it adds a festive touch to virtual environments, enhancing the overall visual experience.
Removed Landmark HUD pop-ups
To make it easier to avoid confusion about what is and what is not a landmark (or POI), we have removed the HUD pop-up when it comes to landmarks. From now on, you'll only get notified when entering a POI.
