Lustful Apocalypse — v0.8.2.4: Release

Hey everyone! No new area this time — instead we went through the whole game top to bottom for a proper spring clean. Here's everything that changed.

⚡ Performance
(Tested on RTX 3070, 720p)
Wasteland:
125 →145 FPS (cheaper sleeping enemies, HUD text no longer rebuilding every frame)Low Power Mode:
145 →237 FPS (shadows off, FSR upscaling, simpler distant models, less grass)Shadow draw distance cut from 100m to 70m — big saving, barely noticeable
Normal mode now respects each level's intended lighting instead of forcing effects everywhere
One enemy model's textures cut from ~41MB down to a few KB
Terrain textures properly GPU-compressed; oversized 4K props scaled to 2K
Enemy health bars now share one shader instead of compiling 58 separately
Grass no longer casts shadows (still receives them)
Saving is faster — no more screenshot taken every time
💾 Saves & Settings
Safer saving — a crash/power cut mid-save shouldn't wipe your file anymore
More progress saved: coins, gems, XP, level, purchases, quests, war map state
Fixed "Day 3.0" display bug and post-load item checks
Fixed Continue occasionally double-charging a purchase
Fixed pregnancy going over 100%
Window mode is now a proper setting (still maximised by default)
UI scales properly at 720p, 1080p, 4:3 and ultrawide
Consistent keyboard/controller navigation everywhere
