Full changes list: changelist
The intention of this engine is to allow easier modding without introducing breaking changes to the original plot.
Optimizations, quality and logics updates are welcome.
Breaking / radical changes can be implemented as extensions.
It took ~3 months just to migrate all the 20 years of LUA codebase to typescript / support luabind.
Further game testing and re-architecture produces new bugs and issues which are easier to prevent with unit tests.
As for now, main focus is separation and clarification of logics, unit tests coverage.
