We weigh the pros and cons, considering if it could create larger maps or more dynamic elements like bandit camps and the terrain between points of interest, without losing the charm of handcrafted design.Evolving World: Learn how the HumanitZ developers frequently update the open world, adding new buildings and areas (like the prison location), sometimes faster than the in-game map can keep up!
