⚙️ Technical Improvements (Behind the Scenes)

These changes do not directly affect gameplay, but they significantly improve stability, performance, and security:

• Backend upgraded from Laravel 9 to Laravel 12
• Frontend upgraded from Vue 2 to Vue 3, requiring a full UI rewrite but resulting in much better performance
• Graphics engine upgraded from PixiJS 5 to PixiJS 7, improving the planet view framework and overall rendering performance

🔭 What’s Next?

• Improving the tutorial and making it more interactive

• Expeditions

Once these improvements (already close to completion) are released, we will open a new universe and start active promotion of the game again.

The AgeOfSpace Team 🚀
