- Surface: Manually added multiple light sources / shadows for the campfire to simulate the flickering light coming from various directions, enhancing visual depth and accuracy. This fixes previous issues where shadows were incorrectly cast / not cast at all by the campfire meshes.
- Cave: Resolved issues with incorrectly rendered campfire shadows in the cave environment.
- Lowered the resolution of the snowflake texture from 1024x1024 to 512x512 to optimize performance and reduce memory usage. This change helps improve rendering efficiency, particularly when displaying large numbers of snowflakes
- Redesigned the particle spawner for snowflakes to focus on spawning more particles around the gameplay area and fewer across the overall map. This ensures that the snowfall effect enhances the player’s experience in relevant areas, reduces unnecessary performance overhead, and prevents particles from being rendered in regions outside of the player's immediate view.
- Modified the color of the male reindeer's head to enhance contrast, making the eyes stand out more prominently. This improves visual clarity and ensures the reindeer's facial features are more distinct.

-

- Tweaked various lights and shadows to improve consistency and enhance the overall atmosphere.
- Added a subtle heat effect to the campfire within the cave, adding a touch of realism and immersion.
- Adjusted several sounds, with a particular focus on ambient sounds, to align better with the overall soundscape and maintain a cohesive audio experience.
- Corrected multiple collision types to ensure smoother interactions and accurate physics across the map.
- Adjusted the material on the antlers to resolve an issue where shadows would spin erratically.
- Added eyes to the reindeers, giving them a more polished and lifelike appearance.
- Adjusted the map overview and steam workshop overview
- Fixed the missing glowing "face" of the main angel statue within the cave

- Replaced the bear and lion model with two reindeers, fitting the festive theme and enhancing the Christmas atmosphere.
- Sliced and imported the meshes to make it compatible with the Pummel Party editor.
- Created and applied appropriate materials for the reindeer models.

- Added a heat effect to the campfire to make it look more realistic

- Readjusted the steam workshop overview (was too compressed)

- Updated the preview image for the steam workshop and ingame

Optimized Particle Spawning
- Reduced the spawning particles by approximately 40%. To maintain visual consistency and overall density, the spawn layout has been carefully rearranged. This optimization ensures smoother performance, particularly for players on slower PCs, without compromising the intended look and feel.

Graveyard Enhancements
- Added some charming candy cone lights to the graveyard, enhancing the festive atmosphere while providing some light to the area.
- Decreased the light intensity emitted by the teleport gate. This adjustment ensures the newly added candy cone lights stand out more prominently.

General:
- New preview images were added.

Cave:
- Swapped the goldpile for lots of candies and a gigantic cookie with milk.

General:
- Created new wrapping paper textures to add more variety to the presents.
- Adjusted the size of the candy cone on the "keys" board.

Cave:
- Created custom shadows for the candy canes, as the original shadows were broken when rendered.
- Added a dedicated light element at the fireplace and adjusted its location.
- Applied the light/flicker animation to the fireplace within the cave.
- The dwarfs are now wearing festive hats.
- Added golden stars to the red carpet.
- Added a golden outline to the red carpet.
- Added a festive tablecloth to both tables.

Surface:
- Added golden stars to the red carpet.
- Changed the texture of the void teleport board.
- Adjusted the shining effect of the tree.
