AnimGraph 2 lands on a separate branch for testing, whilst mapping tools gain loop cuts, pivot control, and material replacement. A smaller week, but one focused on developer feedback.

Terrain rendering gets a serious overhaul with culling and shading optimisations that halve benchmark times. Talking NPCs, improved vertex painting, and a brand new docking system round out this week's update.

S&box closes the engine-to-game boundary with native inventory and weapons, overhauls rendering performance with GPU clutter culling, and adds contact shadows for fine shadow detail.

Rust's latest patch brings player-run shops, apartment rentals with scrap upkeep, a clan system with shared maps, and major softcore changes including raid windows and accelerated progression.
