  5. Today we’re releasing next in line of updates for Aquatico. Backbone of this update is new pack of optimizations. Since last one was added, we’ve identified few new avenues that can help in further increasing the performance of the game. Mainly, switch between ocean floor level and upper dome level wasn’t properly managed, plus upper dome level now has majority of the same optimizatons present with models on the ocean floor level.

  10. Improvements include some level of distance tweaks, corrections to shadow drawing, and a lot of optimizations to raw 3D models of buildings, corals and fish. All combined it will help with frame rate, especially in later stages of the game, and while using dome level camera view.
