I got feedback that my avatars don’t feel quite right. So I learned some things about anatomy and face proportions. The new faces have twice the voxel count than the previous ones.

Chat Rework

The chat UI now aligns with the rest of the interface. The font is weightier and fits the rest of the UI. I also replaced the backend technology for the in-game chat. Previously I used MongooseIM. Mongoose is an XMPP server, and it is hard to use.
I implemented the same functionality with less code with Kotlins Shared-Flows. I will share another article on how the chat system works internally.
The only drawback of using my implementation is that I lost the ability to store chat messages. The current implementation will redirect the chats to the destined clients.
