New Map, New Biomes, New Monsters

August 1, 2026 - v0.11.1

Programming Game's world has been updated to use a massive 35 million square kilometer map instead of an infinite plane radiating outward.

New Features

The world has been updated to use a static map instead of an infinite plane radiating outward.
- The world map is subdivided into polygons, which are sent to the client as you move around the world.
- Each polygon has a biome assigned to it, which is used to determine the monsters and resources that can spawn in that area.
- The biomes include:
  - Grasslands, savanna, various forests, hot and cold deserts, tundra, taiga, glacier, and molten.
You can access the world map by pressing the M key.
Waygates have been added to the world.
- Each region includes a waygate at its center, which links it bidirectionally to one other region.
- Waygates are included in the biome data that is sent to the client, but their destinations are not.
- To figure out the waygate's destination, you'll need to move to the waygate to use it.
37 new monsters have been added to the world.
3d rendering has been significantly improved.
- Grassy biomes now have grass that moves in the wind.
- The overworld now has rolling hills instead of an infinite flat plane.
- Biomes each have their own unique appearance.

Miscellaneous

Minor redesign on the in game windows.
The arena now has boundaries that prevent running directly away from your opponent.
Significantly increased the render and vision distance.
Updated the monospace font across the app to use JetBrains Mono.
