V0.26 is here with some more performance improvements. The forest map has been overhauled with almost all assets replaced. All the trees and grass have been replaced with more performant versions. Lighting has been tweaked a bit, and our announcer is having some technical difficulties.

It seems part of our performance issues were due to the way we were doing the announcer. The announcer still announces, but without any movement for right now. In the next version, hopefully, the announcer will be done in a way that won't impact performance as much. 

We've fixed quite a few little bugs, and added some minor things. Doors now have a colored light above them. So if you get turned around you'll know which way to go. 

After the current changes we're seeing about a 50-80% increase in frame rates depending on the map, what's going on, etc. At a minimum, in the worst case scenario which is standing on the side of a forest map and looking at the center of it, we're seeing a 50% increase in frame rates. The first thing you can try if you're experiencing low frame rates is to set post processing to low, that seems to have the greatest impact, followed by shadows, but turning off shadows completely is a real hit to graphical quality. 

Improvements will be continue to be made, and hopefully we can get the frame rate another 50% higher.
