The UI graphics were completely redesigned, including the main menu, character creation widgets, and on screen display. Some new character portraits were added. Code optimization for 3D and loading performance were done. World and Ecology generation configuration through XML files were developed. Mushrooms and other vegetation were appended to flora and was fox added again to the possibly met fauna. A local map was implemented and the mini world map can be replaced on the HUD. A sky-sphere lighting bug was fixed, along with other minor bugs.

A main menu was added with working Save/Load/New Game options. Sounds and in-game music were added along with a new Audio System.

An ecology system and ecology generation with 3 types of animal packs (gorilla, wolf, and warthog) were added. An encounters system draft version was implemented. World geography generation was boosted with the addition of Cave and River. Animated /rigged model loading (Gorilla), text box log, and choice box window have been added to UI elements. World map colorization was extended. A 'UI ruining shadows' bug has been fixed.

Base geographies (Mountain, Plain, Forest) have
been refactored to
point height calculated tile generation. Cave and
River have been
rewritten to be compatible with the modified base
geographies. Farview
mode has been refactored and beautified based on
new geographies. A new
configuration parameter called
RENDER_DISTANCE_FARVIEW has been added.
World generation has been extended with rivers and
caves. The demo game
is now running in the generated world.
