And I am working on a planning algorithm, which will allow NPC's to have their own goals and follow them. But this is still very theoretical.

AI language for the city generator is finished. But still needs debugging. So exited to define the rules which will create streets, houses, usw.

Global Illumination: Connected the Global Illumination Rendering System to the normal engine. Theoretically I could now bake lightmaps. But still need to test it.

- The "house building" modul makes progress. Will allow the creation of new houses and streets during game play.
- Batch geometry buffer for far houses (sounds really fances but is in fact really easy: We pack one city block in one draw call so that it can be rendered faster).

- Mod Support: Better Entity System in the Editor (will allow to add entities in the level editor).
- Mod Support: Instanced Meshes
- Mod Support: Commen Data Format between the Game and the Editor

Apart from this I did a lot of stuff:
- Support for Detail Textures and Normal Maps
- Light sources can have a mask throught which the light goes
- Physic Engine: Vehicle
- Physic Engine: Soft Body (Rope, Patches, TriMeshes)

Found a new profiler which is really good for profiling games: https://t.co/lXAmwN9QFQ

Already found all bugs which produce lags. But I have to add an asynchrone loading mechanism to resolve them.

easy_profiler - Lightweight profiler library for c++

The terrain is now also smoother!

Yes! I managed to speed up world generation and world changing by a factor of 5. It is now a real joy to explore the landscape. When the conversion of the map files works I will upload a new release.
