Prepare yourselves, Jarls! This week brings our largest visual update yet. Nearly every piece of the game’s UI has been reforged, and the Viking warriors you command have shed their AI-born past for hand-crafted glory. The old gods approve.

🌄 Major Changes

• All-New UI Across the Game
  Every menu and screen has been reworked from the ground up. Cleaner, sharper, and more immersive than ever.

• New Hover & Click Effects
  UI elements now respond with satisfying effects when hovered or clicked—feels like real craftsmanship.

• New Viking Art
  The AI-era is nearly gone. All Vikings have been visually remade with handcrafted sprites to match the Raidbound style.
  (We’re almost fully free of AI art—just a few relics left to purge.)

🌀 Effects & Feedback

• New Rune Appear Effects
  Runes now emerge with a divine flourish worthy of their power.

• Ritual Site Visual Upgrade
  New visual effects to capture the mystery and weight of sacrifice.

• Odin’s Trial Visual Upgrade
  The gods watch more closely now—expect a more dramatic experience.

• Improved Drag-and-Drop Logic
  Items now ease back into place if not dropped into a valid slot. Smooth as a serpent.

🔧 Quality of Life

• Tutorial Hovering/Text Clean-Up
  Clarity improved across the early-game guide. Fewer words, more wisdom.

• Fixed SFX Labeling Issues
  Misplaced sound effects have been sorted into their proper categories.

• Faster Resource Gathering
  Mining and gathering times have been sped up. Your warriors work with newfound purpose.

Thank you to everyone testing, reporting, and playing. More updates soon—especially as we continue to purge the last remnants of AI from the world of Raidbound.
