Tarisland Details Player Experience and Feature Improvements
Tarisland has a new developer update focusing on optimization efforts in the works for the basic player experience and peripheral system experiences ahead of the upcoming technical test.
The team continues to work on updates that are in response toplayer feedback in playtests. Work is ongoing, and some of the player experience items on the list are addressed here (via the Tarisland Discord).

As Tarisland continues towards its cross-platform release, making mobile work without a hit to performance is their goal.
